10 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. Why use oil soluble peach flavoring instead of regular extract?
Oil soluble extracts blend more effectively with fats like butter, resulting in a stronger, more consistent flavor that doesn’t fade.
2. Can I use salted butter instead?
Yes, but reduce or omit the added salt to prevent an overly salty taste.
3. How can I make this frosting fluffier?
Beat the buttercream for an extra 2–3 minutes to incorporate more air for a lighter texture.

Let it come to room temperature and re-whip for a few minutes until smooth and fluffy again.

Absolutely! It holds its shape beautifully for swirls, rosettes, and borders.
