Blush Buttercream Instructions
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. This may take several minutes.
- Add a third of the icing sugar to the butter and beat until combined. Then, repeat the process with the remaining icing sugar.
- Add the vanilla extract, the Rose Water, and the milk and mix until smooth.*Using the recommended amount of Rose Water is essential to achieving the best flavor, as using too much can lead to an overpowering taste.

- *Let the cake completely cool before removing it from the pan. Remove the cake from the spring-form pan, spread the icing evenly with a spatula or the back of a spoon over the cooled cake, and sprinkle with edible rose petals or rose buds.
