Less than 5 minutes icing recipes!

Here are some super simple icing recipes that I use to put either on cupcakes or regular cakes (sometimes ice cream:p )

Lemon cream cheese icing
60g cream cheese, softened
30g unsalted butter,softened
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
Beat cream cheese with butter in a bowl.Add lemon juice and icing sugar. Beat them until smooth.

Coffee Buttercream
3tsp instant coffee powder
125g unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
2 tsp milk
Dissolve coffee powder in boiling water. Beat butter and icing sugar till pale and creamy.
Add the rest and beat for 2 minutes or until they are fluffy.

Caramel Icing
1 1/2 cup icing sugar sifted
1 tbsp milk
2 tbsp golden syrup ( I sometime just use some pancake syrup when I don't have any)
30g unsalted butter, softened
Beat everything together with a wooden spoon until well combined.

Super simple chocolate icing
25g unsalted butter
125g chocolate cut into chunks (for better flavour, use the best chocs in town!)
Just place them in a double boiler and stir until well combined. This is one of my favourite chocolate icing. You can put them on your ice cream or popcorn mixture.ps. put in 2 tbsp cream to make it shiny. (Once cooled, it should look like this.Yumm and soo easy!)
