Toffee flavoured icing

[Big I]

Does anyone know how to make toffee flavoured butter icing?

Hi Big I,

The nearest to toffee flavoured buttercream (icing) would be to use Vahine Caramel (sauce). Bought mine from Lakeland, but I have since seen it in some supermarkets (bakery section). It is pure caramel - wonderful on creme caramel, especially shop bought ones that don't have much on them! Try using a little in your butter and icing sugar, till you have the right flavour, but not too much that it makes it runny!

I have used it when making cookies to get a "toffee" flavour.

Good luck x
