Butter Cream Icing

This is such a simple recipe but makes the best icing ever. The best part is you can add different flavours to change the taste accordingly. My favourite is to add rose water and pistachio powder/essence or crushed pistachios. You can add coconut/almond/orange/cocoa powder/essence to get different flavours and tastes.

Ingredients:
1 cup of soft, unsalted organic butter
3.5 cups of icing sugar (you can try 2.5 cups if you don't want to too sweet with 3/4 cup of butter)
2 tsp of vanilla extract or any other flavouring or extract you want
2 tablespoons of organic milk or unsweetened coconut milk or almond milk
2 tablespoons of non GMO corn starch (to keep it heat resistant - if you are serving cake on a hot day!)
a pinch of salt
food colour (optional)

1) Add all the dry ingredients together in mixing bowl.
2) Add butter to mixing bowl with wet ingredients and mix well.

3) And add dry ingredients slowly until mixed well with butter.

4) Add food colour accordingly and mix well. To make an ombre effect add a slight bit of food colour and pipe a section. Then add a little bit more food colour, mix and pipe and keep adding more food colour until you get the ombre effect.
5) Pipe using cake decorating tools.
6) Keep in Fridge until you are ready to serve.

Makes enough for 1.5 cakes or 8 to 12 inches cake, 45 slices approx:
