Chocolate buttercream lets you bring your cake and cupcake creations to life. It's perfect for filling, icing, and decorating. No matter what tip you use, your decorations will hold their shape perfectly. It's made with butter, powdered sugar, a touch of vanilla, cocoa powder for a delicious color and chocolate flavor, and milk to make it soft and pliable.
