DECORATOR BUTTERCREAM ICING
I always use this when I decorate cakes and I get many, many compliments on the wonderful taste. It is not that usual shortening-and-sugar-bakery-icing taste. If I am not using it to decorate a cake with, I use my all butter variation: Recipe #261024.

Steps:
- Have all ingredients at room temperature.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, cream butter until creamy - about 30 seconds.Pro tip - unlike my other buttercreams in this one you want to avoid incorporating too much air, otherwise you will have air pockets when piping.
- Then, add the whipping cream, salt, and pudding mix - combine well but don't over mix. Scarp the sides and bottom of the bowl for any butter that may have got stuck.Pro tip - make sure you have no lumps - if necessary add a bit of the powdered sugar to help it combine.
- Next, add the powdered sugar in two batches. Again combine well but don't over mix. Pro tip - the mixture will look dense now but do not add any more liquid yet.
- Once all the sugar is in, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl again. Add the vanilla extract and almond extract
- Then, whip for 2 full minutes - check to make sure it's not too stiff and not too gritty. If necessary add 1 or 2 tbsp whipping cream or milk to adjust consistency. Mix some more if necessaryPro tip - while we do not want to make this too light and airy we still want to ensure it's delicious and not gritty.
- The total mixing time for this buttercream should not be more than 5 minutes. Pro tip - If you find that you have over whipped the buttercream. Stir it with a flat silicone spatula using a spreading motion. This will break some of the air pockets
- You can divide the buttercream into the number of colors required. Take note that colors will also affect the consistency of your buttercream.Pro tip - always use gel food colors, not water-based colors as it will make the buttercream too soft to pipe or spread. If water-based colors are all you have, omit liquid in the recipe so you start with a stiffer buttercream consistency.
