What You’ll Need

Using CakeSupplyShop Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting makes preparing your marshmallow buttercream simple.

Ingredients

• CakeSupplyShop Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting
• Softened unsalted butter
• Icing sugar, if required
• A little milk or cream, if needed
• Mini marshmallows for decorating, if desired
• Sprinkles or chocolate shavings for decoration, optional

Tip: Follow the preparation instructions provided with your CakeSupplyShop Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting for the recommended quantities and mixing ratios.

How to Make Marshmallow Buttercream

Step 1: Soften the Butter

Start by bringing your butter to room temperature. It should be soft enough to beat easily but not melted.

Beat the softened butter until it’s smooth, creamy and slightly lighter in colour. This creates a good base for light and fluffy buttercream.

Step 2: Add CakeSupplyShop Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting

Gradually add the CakeSupplyShop Marshmallow Buttercream Frosting according to the preparation instructions.

Begin mixing on a low speed to combine the ingredients. Once incorporated, increase the speed and continue beating until your buttercream becomes smooth and fluffy.

Step 3: Adjust the Consistency

Check your buttercream before decorating.

For piping cupcakes and detailed decorations, you’ll want a slightly firmer consistency that holds its shape.

If your buttercream is too thick, add a tiny amount of milk or cream and mix again. Add liquid gradually to avoid making the frosting too soft.

If it’s too soft, add a little icing sugar and mix until you achieve the consistency you need.

How to Decorate with Marshmallow Buttercream

Marshmallow Buttercream gives you plenty of opportunities to get creative.

For cupcakes, transfer your prepared buttercream to a piping bag fitted with your favourite nozzle. Pipe generous swirls onto each cupcake and finish with mini marshmallows or colourful sprinkles.

For layer cakes, spread Marshmallow Buttercream between each cake layer before using more to cover the top and sides.

You could also add mini marshmallows, chocolate curls, biscuit crumbs or a drizzle of chocolate to create an extra-indulgent dessert.
