    Submitted by Criobrewster on 19. September 2020 - 01:52.

    So impressed! Although this makes half the amount I usually make in my stand mixer, the time it takes is a fraction of what the stand mixer takes, it's quieter (bonus with 2 littlies!) and is spot on with the ratio quantities and ingredients I usually use. I had tried a lot of other recipes and never could get it to work in thermomix - so had resigned myself that buttercream would have to forever be done in the good old kenwood chef. Well not anymore!! Thankyou so much for sharing! I was dubious about whether it would whip it enough to be light and creamy but yes! The method is exactly what it needs and perfect piping every time tmrc_emoticons.)

    Easy and delicious! Makes a huge amount of icing so will probably halve quantities next time. Half would be plenty for 24 cupcakes.
