Brite White Buttercream
Most production bakeries use a base for there buttercream to ensure consistency. Our Bright White frosting recipe uses an icing base for those of you looking for a high ratio shortening option that is super white and fluffy.
Recipe Ingredients:
1 lb powdered sugar
1/3 cup water (variable)
1/2 teaspoon Butter Flavor
1/2 teaspoon Clear Vanilla
2 teaspoon Orange Emulsion (or flavor of choice)
3/4 cup High Ratio Shortening (Sweetex)
1/2 cup Brite White Icing Base
Recipe Directions:
Place water in mixing bowl. Then add powdered sugar, mix with a paddle until all lumps have dissolved. Scrape bowl well.
Add flavors and mix.
Add Shortening and mix.
Add Brite White and mix until light and fluffy.
Note: This is a softer buttercream icing than most. Vary the amount of water depending on weather conditions (hot weather, add less water).
You may vary flavors for desired taste.
Emulsions vs. Extract
Emulsions have a more potent, robust flavor that will not bake out. They are alcohol free.
This buttercream is not quite as sweet as most American buttercream’s. It also does not crust over as much as standard American buttercream.
Since there is less crusting this means that this buttercream is less likely to crack......very important point.
This buttercream does have a slight orange flavor due to the orange emulsion. However you can use any flavor emulsion or extract you want.
