I think there is a typo with this receipe and the amoung of butter should be 275g not 75g. I made it with the 275gm and it was brillent - tasted lovely and looked brillent piped on my cup cakes.
Used this recipe for cupcake decorating with my Guide unit, easy and perfect, thanks! We split it up into a few bowls and put in some food coloring and sprinkles. I'm going to try making this next time I bake at home, maybe with some other flavorings.
Perfect buttercream, the consistency for piping is spot on. Does not contain too much butter. Tips, add colours and flavours as required. Do not be tempted to scimp and not use real butter, although some margerines are suitable for baking, if your piping with this marg is too soft, you need the firmness of butter
