Baileys Buttercream
I can now top my cakes with my favourite drink with this delicious, smooth Baileys buttercream!
Active Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 5 minutes
Servings: 12 servings
INGREDIENTS
- 250 g unsalted butter - soft at room temperature
- 500 g icing sugar
- 2½ tbsp Baileys Irish Cream - you can use any of their other flavours too
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut the butter (250g) into cubes and then beat on a low speed until soft. Gradually add the icing sugar (500g - you add it gradually to stop it flying everywhere) and beat until fully combined.
- Add the Baileys (2½ tbsp) a teaspoon at a time, beating in each addition before adding more.
- Check the consistency of your buttercream. It should be soft and perfect for piping at this point. If it's a little too soft, pop it into the fridge to harden, checking it every few minutes.
- Decorate your cakes.
NOTES
Makes enough for 12 cupcakes or for covering and filling a 20cm 2-layer round cake.
