Buttercream playing up? Before you blame the recipe, check the little things 👀🧁

From getting your butter properly soft to adding your milk gradually, a few simple steps can make all the difference to a smooth, fluffy buttercream that's much easier to work with.

And if yours always ends up a little too sweet, Karen's tip is simple - try a tiny pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon to help balance it out.
