Instructions
- Make the base buttercream - Prepare your chosen buttercream recipe, leaving out optional liquid and flavorings where possible.
- Divide the buttercream - Keep the full batch for one flavor or divide it into smaller portions if you're making several flavors from one batch.
- Add the flavoring - Use the buttercream flavor table above as a guide. Add concentrated flavorings first, then gradually add ingredients that contain more liquid, such as fruit puree, coffee, caramel or liqueur.
- Adjust the consistency - For a softer buttercream, add cream or milk a little at a time. If the buttercream becomes too soft, chill it briefly or adjust it according to the type of buttercream you're using.
- Taste and adjust - Flavor intensity varies between chocolate, fruit, extracts, coffee and liqueurs, so taste before adding more.
