Equipment

  • 1 Stand Mixer or Hand Mixer

Instructions
 

  • Start by making your buttercream.
  • Once your buttercream is ready, whip it on high speed for 5 to 10 minutes. This will lighten the color and make it look much whiter.
    If you don't have a stand mixer, whip it for a few minutes or as long as you can and proceed to the next step.
  • Add the tiniest bit of purple gel food coloring using a toothpick. Mix slowly until the color evens out. Don’t overdo it, too much purple can turn the buttercream grey, and there's no going back from there.
  • After whipping, set the mixer to the lowest speed and let it run for 5 more minutes. This step helps remove air bubbles and you will have that silky smooth finish you want.
    If you are using a hand mixer, you can use a spatula to remove the bubbles, whatever is easier for you.
