Hello! Today we're tackling the trendiest color of the moment, perfect for spring baking recipes. Keep reading if you want to be in the know!
We know that the decoration of our creations is super important. We want to shoot for love at first sight! So the tones you use make all the difference between a good dessert and a spectacular one.
Whether you’re just starting out or you already have a career in baking, this info should be really useful to you. Let's take a look!
Let's start with our buttercream
A good buttercream is important, as it will serve as the base for all our decorations. This recipe is enough to fill and cover a medium cake. If you want to decorate with a piping bag, we suggest you make ½ recipe more.
Ingredients:
2 cups butter, room temp
6 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tbsp heavy or whipping cream
A big splash of Vainilla Molina Clear (to help you keep a clean and bright tone)
A pinch salt
Directions:
-
Beat butter on medium-high speed for 3 minutes.
-
Reduce speed and add powdered sugar in batches, beating between each addition.
-
Increase speed to medium and add heavy cream, Vainilla Molina Clear and salt.
-
Increase speed to maximum and beat for 5 minutes.
-
Use a spatula to finish incorporating.
Now that you have your base buttercream, you can start adding color to it. We suggest using gel food coloring since it's easier to incorporate into the buttercream, obtaining a uniform tone.
