Five Ways to Store Homemade Buttercream Frosting
1. Refrigerate for Up to One Week
After you whip up that delicious buttercream frosting, be sure to place it in an airtight container and pop it in the fridge. Refrigeration keeps your homemade buttercream frosting fresh for up to one week. This means it will be ready for your next baking project like frosting a cake!
Don’t forget to label the container with the date too. This small step keeps everything organized and helps you stay on top of your baking game.
Can buttercream frosting be left at room temperature? Our experts say to avoid storing homemade buttercream frosting at room temperature. Instead, store your frosting in the refrigerator or the freezer!
2. Freeze for Up to Two Months
If you need buttercream frosting to last longer than one week, you can store it in the freezer where it will stay fresh for up to two months. For long-term storage like this, freeze your buttercream frosting in an airtight, freezer-safe container. Be sure to label the container with the date, so you can keep track of its journey.
When you're ready to enjoy delicious buttercream frosting, gently thaw the frosting in the refrigerator overnight. Once it has reached room temperature, mix it well to revive its creamy texture. This ensures that every bite reflects the quality and care you put into making it – even two months later.
3. Separate Buttercream Frosting from Strong Scents
Buttercream is a delicate frosting that can easily absorb strong odors and flavors. Strong scents can cause changes in the texture of buttercream, making it unpleasant to eat. To keep your frosting from absorbing unwanted odors, store it away from strong-smelling foods, such as garlic, fish, and certain cheeses.
Avoid compromising the taste and texture of your homemade frosting. Keep it away from foods with strong scents, and you can help ensure that your baked goods taste their best and are safe to eat.
Additionally, wrapping the container in plastic wrap can offer extra protection from unwanted smells.
4. Use Piping Bags for Easy Access and Application
To ensure your buttercream is always ready for use, carefully store it in piping bags. Seal each bag tightly, and keep them nestled in your refrigerator or freezer. This storage method allows you to easily access and preserve frosting, saving you time and effort.
Not only does this prevent buttercream frosting from drying out, it makes frosting application even quicker. When you're ready to frost your baked goods, the frosting is already in the piping bag, ready to be piped onto your creations. For everything you need to know about decorating with frosting, our Piping Tips and Tricks provides a step-by-step guide to perfection.
Storing buttercream frosting in piping bags is a practical and efficient way to keep it fresh, apply it easily, and create beautiful designs on your baked goods.
5. Portion Frosting for Quick Use
We recommend dividing your frosting into smaller portions before storing it. This thoughtful approach allows you to thaw only what you need, which helps minimize waste. It also ensures the remaining portions of leftover buttercream frosting maintain their freshness and quality for an extended period.
Storing smaller containers of frosting at a time makes storage more efficient. Using piping bags, for example, as a convenient storage container saves room in your refrigerator and freezer. Smaller portions are easier to handle and mix as well. You can easily combine different flavors or colors without having to work with large quantities of frosting.
By storing frosting in smaller portions, you can enjoy the benefits of freshness, convenience, and reduced frosting waste.
