How to Make Bailey S Buttercream Icing
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and shortening until light and fluffy. This will take about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
- Add the vanilla extract and Bailey's Irish Cream. Beat until the icing is smooth and creamy.
- If the icing is too thick, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or heavy cream, one at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- If the icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Frost your cake and enjoy! Store leftover icing in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
