My little one loves cupcakes, so today we got to work. We filled some with strawberry and others with chocolate. Using a freezer bag as a piping bag, they turned out pretty well 😂😅. Here's the buttercream recipe. I'll share the cupcake recipe next time. 😜

Ingredients

  1. 2/3 cupbutter (about 150 grams)
  2. 1 1/4 cupspowdered sugar (about 150 grams)
  3. 1 tablespooncream cheese
  4. 1 tablespoonvanilla extract
  5. 4 dropsfood coloring of your choice
  6. 1piping bag or at least some piping tips

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Take out the butter and let it soften to a creamy texture. (Do NOT heat it in the microwave as it won't set properly). Sift the powdered sugar.

  2. 2

    Place the butter in a mixing bowl and beat with a whisk for about 3 or 4 minutes. Then add the powdered sugar, beat for another five minutes, and add the cream cheese, vanilla extract (or any flavor you like), and food coloring.

  3. 3

    It should have a firm texture that forms peaks. You can chill it for about 5 minutes, but no longer, or it will become too hard to pipe.

  4. 4

    I didn't have a piping bag, but I did have piping tips. So, I used a freezer bag, which is very sturdy. Cut a corner and insert the piping tip inside the bag.

  5. 5

    If you can't get the design right, look for a tutorial on YouTube. There are thousands.
