Crafting the Magical Masterpiece: Step-by-Step Guide
1. Begin by dividing your buttercream frosting, Placing one-third in a small bowl and reserving the rest in a larger bowl.
2. Add 4-6 drops of burgundy food gel color to the larger bowl and mix until the frosting transforms into a rich burgundy hue.
3. For the smaller bowl, incorporate 4-5 drops of yellow food gel color, ensuring the buttercream is evenly colored.
4. Allow the larger bowl of frosting to sit covered with a lid for 20 minutes to deepen the burgundy color.
5. Once both frostings are prepared, get three piping bags – one for each color and a third for the piping tip.
6. Ensure your cutting board is clean and dry before beginning the decorating process.
7. Begin decorating by cutting a medium to large hole in the tip of the bag containing the burgundy buttercream frosting. Insert the bag into the piping bag with the piping tip.
8. Using the piping bag filled with burgundy frosting, place a dot on the board where the badge will begin.
9. Draw a straight line across the board with the buttercream to define the badge’s end point.
10. Create another small dot at the bottom-center of the board, marking the badge’s end point.
11. Create a line descending from the end of the top line and, as you reach the midpoint, curve the line towards the bottom-center dot. Repeat this step on the other side to complete the badge’s shape.
12. Fill in the badge’s shape by using the piping bag to press dots of burgundy buttercream frosting over the lines.
13. Change over to the yellow frosting by replacing the burgundy bag with the yellow frosting bag. Squeeze out any remaining burgundy frosting on a paper towel.
14. Form the letter “G” within the badge using the yellow frosting. Create dots to mark the beginning, curves, and end of the letter “G,” using the same dot technique as before. Adjust the thickness of the letter to your preference.
15. Use the yellow frosting to trace the inside of the badge for added definition and charm.
16. Once your Gryffindor frosting Board is complete, it’s time to adorn it with a mixture of enchanting snacks. Arrange Chocolate Chip Cookies, Graham Crackers and Pretzel twists in a festive manner around the badge. This board serves 10-12 individuals, making it perfect for sharing the magic with friends and family.
Buttercream Board Magic Made Easy
- Efficient Piping Tip Transition: If you possess multiple piping tips, you can skip using a third piping bag by attaching the tip directly to one of the frosting bags.
- Adjusting Burgundy Shade: If you find that the burgundy color isn’t quite the Gryffindor shade, add 1-2 drops of super red food gel color to achieve the perfect tone.
Storing the Magic
To ensure your buttercream frosting remains as enchanting as the Gryffindor spirit, store any leftovers in an airtight container in a cool and dry location. This will preserve the freshness of both the buttercream frosting and the accompanying snacks.
Perfect Pairings for a Magical Feast
Elevate your Gryffindor experience by pairing your Harry Potter Gryffindor Badge Buttercream Frosting Board with a mug of Butterbeer or a delightful Pumpkin Spice Latte. These enchanting beverages will complement the flavors and the atmosphere of your Gryffindor-inspired gathering.
