The Secret For The Best Crumb Coating Frosting Recipe

If you have ever tried to decorate a cake, you must have encountered a little problem. How do professionals achieve that sleek look? The answer may be easier than you think.

Let’s get started!

INGREDIENTS

01 1 cup of high-fat ratio shortening

02 1 cup of butter

03 2 tbsp of meringue powder

04 2 tsp of clear vanilla extract

05 8 cups of sifted confectioners sugar

06 9 tbsp of milk (regular or 2% work great)

HOW SOFT IS TOO SOFT

You need to consider how delicate your actual cake is.

If you are working on a very moist lemon or strawberry cake, for example, you may need a softer buttercream so as not to damage it. 

To achieve this, you can add more milk to the mixture until you are comfortable that it will not hurt the cake. If you want to ice harder chocolate or red velvet cake, you may not have to adjust it.
