An icing made primarily from soft butter, the Butter Cream Icing for Cakes and Pastries has a buttery flavour and luscious mouth-feel that make it stand out from the crowd of regular cream-based icings.

The fluffed-up butter, sweetened with icing sugar and flavoured mildly with vanilla essence, is noticeably special and is sure to be enjoyed to the hilt. Make it your first choice for cakes and pastries made for celebrations involving children.

We have used it in our Swiss Roll recipe.
