It’s happened to me countless times. I’ve been whipping up a cake to share with friends, only to realise I JUST didn’t buy enough butter. There’s enough for the cake itself (phew), but not enough for, IMO, the most important part of a cake: the buttercream. Buttercream: an essential part of cake making What’s not to love about it? That fluffy concoction of butter, icing sugar and various flavourings really does take a cake to the next level. It’s what elevates it from ‘eh it’s just a cake’...
