Revolution to Evolution Pt. 2 — Working with Buttercream

Say hello to bolder baking without breaking a sweat. Thanks to our new and improved, high concentration formulas, making brighter buttercream is a breeze.

So if you're a buttercream buff, gather 'round as we spill the beans on how to work your magic with our potent new formula.

If your buttercream's rocking a yellow tone, it's time for some colour correction with White Oil Blend. Before you dive into adding colour we suggest stirring in 2-5% of White into the mix to wave goodbye to those pesky yellow undertones and unveil a true hue.

Our new, high-concentration formulas pack a punch, so go slow when working with them for the first time. Here are a few of our favourite tips and tricks to avoid overdoing it:

When working with our new formula, 5 drops per 100g of buttercream is all you need to achieve the colour on the label.

For a fool-proof way to keep your buttercream colour in check, use a toothpick to apply colour. Just insert the toothpick into the lid of your bottle, remove and swirl into your buttercream!

This method is great if you're working with smaller quantities of buttercream, while you're getting a feel for how much colouring is required to achieve your desired shade.

If you've gone a tad overboard and your buttercream is a bit too intense, don't stress! Lighten things up by blending in some plain buttercream or a dash of White Oil Blend. Crisis averted.

If you like things the way they were, just mix your colour with White Oil Blend before mixing into your buttercream.
