What else can buttercream be used for?

I miscalculated and have a lot of leftover white chocolate buttercream.

Obviously, I could just bake more cakes, but I wonder... is there anything else I could do with it?

Apart from cake pops. None of my family like cake pops.

Send it to meeeee! Grin

Seriously though, just make more cakes. It might be ok to freeze until needed if you don't bake very frequently.

Sorry no new ideas, but you can freeze it for another time Smile

Freeze it, either in a cake (my preference, it never beats up properly, imo, after freezing), or just as it. Frozen slices if cake, warmed up in the microwave, with icecream.

It is reasonably stable in the fridge for a week or 2.

Never know it for anything other than cakes tho.

I had a load left last autumn and froze it, then used it at Xmas. It was fine.

Add eggs & flour to make cookies - genius.

Chocolate buttercream does not beat up well after freezing because the cacao fat gets too hard.

Mind you, I have teenagers. I'll probably get back home and find it's all gone because they've channelled Yecartmannew Grin

Another vote for freezing it, I always do that, makes cakes so much quicker if you have it already!
