1 cup white buttercream icing.

Red butter icing. Start to dye it stick in fridge well covered it is not anywhere near the colour I want. Start by beating room temperature butter with an electric mixer until as white as possible scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go. Once all the icing sugar is incorporated into the butter youll have a nice smooth icing.

Add the icing sugar mixture a little at a time and keep on beating. Gradually add the Chelsea Icing Sugar half a cup at a time. I have found with red and black buttercream frosting or royal icing I need to make the frosting 3 days ahead.

1 cup white buttercream icing ¼ teaspoon of color Medium Shade. A few hours later I add some more dye mix let sit overnight. 1 cup white buttercream icing 1 teaspoon of color Dark Shade.

If not dark enough add some more colour and mix cover and fridge.
