*First, whip the butter for 1-2 minutes until fluffy. Then, add the powdered sugar in stages of ½ - ¾ cup. Once you are happy with the consistency, stop adding sugar. Whenever you don’t need the buttercream, place it in the fridge. Whenever you let the cake rest whilst decorating, it needs to chill in the fridge!!
