sorry you've probably been asked this loads of times but can anyone tell me how to make buttercream icing using uk ingredients. i know of white flora but find this very soft and it just doesn't seem to set enough. i've never covered a cake with buttercream and would love to try
thanks
Hi! I'm originally from the UK and I always just used softened butter - no shortening. The only issue would be if you wanted a pure white icing. You could try a white flora/butter mix to lighten it up some. Were you thinking of colored buttercream or pure white?
I use something called Crisp-n-Dry for shorterning in my buttercreams. It works really well for me, and I don't find it turns out too greasy. In my store, it's stored with the butter.
