I use 5 oz unsalted butter, 8 oz icing sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2-4 teaspoons of luke warm milk.

Beat well with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add food coloring if desired.

Hi Yan!

For the swirl I have used the techniques from the Wilton site: http://www.cupcakefun.com/techniques/1mswirl.cfm and I use the 1M nozzle tip.

I know the problem of getting the bc “white” if you dont use shortning there is white. I have some super white powder from Sugar Flair that makes it a bit more whiter to the BC. But dont add it before the butter was very “light” in color.

You could also try make bc out of half butter, half shortning that maybe gives a more light bc?

I think that I have used a tiny bit of Wilton: Skye blue.

Hope that helps:)

Hi, Yan again.. I’ve been trying to make buttercream but when I mix in blue colour, it becomes green due to the fact that the buttercream base is yellow because of the butter. How do I remedy that and get a nice blue colour like yours?

Hi, I chanced upon your journal and I’m very impressed with your works of art! I’m from Malaysia! Can you teach the technique you use you create the buttercream swirl on your cupcakes? What nozzle tip do you use?
