ASK LP: Pink Buttercream - DIY RECIPE

Make cupcakes for your Valentine! Swap this delicious buttercream recipe for the store-bought on your next batch and prepare yourself for kisses of thanks! 

BEHIND THE APRON TIP: The key to successful buttercream is equal parts fat and sugar. 

Now, what does that mean? If you are using one pound (one pound box of unsalted butter = 4 sticks), use one pound of confectioner's sugar. If doubling, for 2 dozen standard cupcakes, use one 2 pound bag of confectioner's sugar and two boxes of butter from the supermarket. 

Recipe after the break!
