Icing And Frosting Whitener By Ingenious Edibles-500g

Ingenious Edibles Icing and Frosting Whitener is ready to bring a gleaming white finish to every cake design! Make off-white icing a thing of the past with this impressive addition to your cake decorating essentials. Why not try marbling effects, monochrome designs, or creating a rainbow of different pastel colours? The possibilities are endless! So the big question is how do you get your yellow buttercream to turn white. The truth is it takes a few stages. The first stage is to whiten your butter. Now you can do this with all your ingredients added to the bowl. In the tutorial I do it before I add my sugar just so you can see the different. By beating butter for longer it naturally starts to lighten. You can see below by beating the butter for 15 minutes you get a much lighter yellow to our original buttercream. Normal yellow buttercream can cause problems when colouring your buttercream. One big example of this is if you are trying to get pastel shades, especially blue. If we think about mixing colours if you mix blue and yellow you get green! This can mean sometimes if you are colouring your buttercream a light blue colour we end up with a light green. By lightening your buttercream first it allows you to get much truer colours. Add directly to your icing or buttercream and mix well. Start by mixing a few drops into your mixture and build up until the desired shade is reached.

Easy Bake

This gives us an off white buttercream, so the last stage is to add a whitener. There are different whiteners on the market and these come in either a powder or a liquid. I used the new ‘Icing & frosting whitener’ by Ingenious Edibles. You can add as much as you like. In the tutorial I added 1 tablespoon just to show you how much it can be whitened.

PME

Buttercream tends to have a natural off-white, slightly yellow colour due to the butter used in its recipe, and it’s not always the shade we’re looking for. This whitener is ideal for adding royal icing, sugarpaste and buttercream, giving a clean, crisp white shade with just a few drops. Alternatively, you can use this whitener to soften or tone down the shade of your coloured buttercream. To make my buttercream I’m still using my American buttercream recipe. You can find a tutorial with some more helpful tips, including what butter I use to make it here: https://youtu.be/tJ_T9WJEgXg This is a great way to make sure your cake decoration really pops, especially if you’re adding sprinkles and other details to contrast against the bright white of your icing.
