Buttercream freaks me out. It can be delicious, greasy, too sweet, fantastic, gritty, you just never know!
I found this fantastic Sugarologie video that uses no food colouring and makes a very smooth cream.
I haven’t tried it myself but thought I’d share since I’ve never seen anything like it before. The beet powder red velvet looks incredible.

I’m gonna have to try this out! The technique is really interesting, and I’ve had a few customers request no food colouring due to allergies, so no dye black got me curious. I usually start with a chocolate buttercream with black cocoa, but even so it takes so much food colouring to get it really dark. It would be so great to get black that doesn’t turn your teeth black, too!
Interesting
