Ensure the buttercream is at room temperature for optimal spreadability. If it's been refrigerated, allow it to sit at room temperature until softened.

Optional Enhancement:

For a lighter, fluffier texture, consider whipping the buttercream in a bowl using a hand mixer or stand mixer for a few minutes. This can enhance its consistency and make application easier.

Application:

For Cakes: Place a generous amount of buttercream on top of your cooled cake. Use an offset spatula to spread it evenly across the surface and along the sides, achieving your desired thickness.

For Cupcakes: Transfer the buttercream into a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip. Pipe the frosting onto each cooled cupcake, applying consistent pressure for an even and decorative finish.

By following these steps, your vanilla buttercream will enhance your baked goods with a smooth and delicious finish.

TIP: If you have leftover buttercream, store it in the fridge. It can be kept at room temperature for up to three days or refrigerated for about 1 month. Before reusing, bring it back to room temperature and re-whip if necessary to restore its creamy consistency..
