Buttercream frosting 

Ingredients:-

140g /5oz butter at room temperature
280g/10oz icing sugar
1-2 tbsp milk(if needed - depending on the consistency and room temperature)
A few drops yellow food colouring (I used Wilton’s food gel colour)
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
I also added 2 tbsp soft cream cheese in this recipe. (optional)

Method:-
  1. Beat the butter in a large bowl until soft. Add half of the icing sugar and beat until smooth.
  2. Add the remaining icing sugar, cream cheese and one tbsp of milk and beat the mixture until creamy and smooth. Beat in the milk, if necessary, to loosen the mixture.
  3. Stir in the food colouring until well combined.

I used Wilton 2D nozzle to decorate the top and the sides of the cake and finished it with chocolate sprinkles.
