Tiers

 For 12 cupcakes 

Ingredients 

• 125 g salted butter NOT MARGARINE! (preferably left at room temperature overnight / few hours)
• 250 g icing sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 Tbsp milk ( if you feel it needs more add no more than 2 tbsps. We usually add one milk cap & it’s perfect!)

Method

1. Recite Bismillah.
2. Beat butter till light & creamy. This may take a while. (It is preferable to use a stand mixer so that your arms do not get tired.)
3. Gradually add in icing sugar, milk & vanilla and mix on high speed till fluffy and light in colour. (Remember the trick is to keep beating till you get a white soft & fluffy buttercream.)
4. Dye using gel colour- optional ( We prefer sugar flair )

Tip: If you prefer a less sweeter buttercream, use equal parts icing sugar to butter.
