Rose Buttercream Frosting
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 cups Confectioners' sugar
- 7 tablespoons Cream
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Dried rose petals
- 2 tablespoons Rose flavored black tea (I use Laduree's the rose)
- Melt butter over low heat, add rose petals and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain and cool in refrigerator.
- Warm cream over low heat, add tea and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain and cool in refrigerator. You will only end up using 6 tablespoons, but I like to make a little extra in case some cream gets lost in the straining process. If you have extra, make some tea and add the rose tea flavored milk to it for a little extra boost!
- Once cooled and hardened, use a mixer to cream the butter.
- Gradually incorporate the sugar, alternating with the rose flavored cream, and beating well after every addition.
- Stir in the vanilla.
- If the frosting is too thick, add a little more cream, one teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin, refrigerate as it will thicken as the butter hardens.
- Frost your cake!
