If you are struggling to achieve a rich red buttercream and the microwave method is not working for you or you don’t want to make it days ahead to give it time to develop, here are some quick tips on how to make it: 👉🏼 Use high quality concentrated pastes/gels (like sugarflair, americolor etc) where possible instead of liquidy, cheaper alternatives. You will not be using tons of colour which can sometimes leave a funny taste in your buttercream. 👉🏼 ALWAYS start out with a pink base - even the two quantities combined will be much less than the amount you would require if only using red! 👉🏼 Add the red in small increments until you reach the shade required. 👉🏼 This method works really well for American buttercream (demonstrated in this video). Meringue based buttercreams (SMBC, IMBC etc.) are notoriously hard to make in deeper shades like red or black and require preparation ahead of time to let the colours develop. We never use the microwave method as we find it too fiddly.

The easiest way to two-tone your buttercream 🧡 We are using the same 2D tip for both the rosette and the hydrangea. Making sure that your buttercream is firm and cool enough helps the two colours stay separate (here we are using American BC). You can also control the thickness of the orange edge on your flowers by varying the amount of buttercream you spread in your bag as the first step 💛 If you don’t already have a good recipe for buttercream that’s smooth but firm, we have an in-depth video tutorial on our website cakestone.com.au (link is also in our bio) 😊 #caketutorial #buttercreamflowers #cakedecoratingtutorials #cupcakedecorating #oddlysatisfying #buttercreamcake #buttercreamtips #cakevideo
