FAQs about ready made buttercream icing

Which brands of buttercream frosting do you stock?

We stock high-quality buttercream icing from Colour Mill, Over the Top, and Sprinks, ensuring you get the best texture and flavour for your creations.

Does buttercream icing harden?

Buttercream icing forms a slight crust when exposed to air but remains soft underneath. If you need a firmer consistency, storing it in the fridge or adding more icing sugar can help.

How long does buttercream icing last in the fridge?

Ready made buttercream icing can last up to about two weeks in the fridge when stored in an airtight container. Always bring it to room temperature before using for the best consistency.

Can you freeze buttercream icing?

Yes! Buttercream icing freezes well for up to three months. Store it in an airtight container, and when ready to use, thaw it in the fridge overnight before re-whipping to restore its smooth texture.

How do you smooth buttercream icing?

To achieve a smooth finish, use an offset spatula and a cake scraper. Applying a crumb coat first and chilling the cake before adding the final layer of buttercream can also help.

How to thicken buttercream icing?

If your buttercream is too soft, gradually add more icing sugar to thicken it. Alternatively, chilling the icing for a short time can firm it up for easier handling.
