When it comes to crating the perfect icing, the butter has to be whipped. Unless you’ve prepared to do so it can take upwards of 30 minutes to bring cold butter to room temperature. If one doesn’t adhere to that approach, your icing may not have the right texture. Oster now offers a hand mixer with HEATSOFT technology that softens butter 12x faster!!
By using gentle warm air it’s able to bring cold butter to room temperature quickly while mixing, for fluffier results. Just how great is that?! Amazing compared to the thought of having to leave butter out on the counter for 30 minutes. Save time and energy with the new Oster HEATSOFT hand mixer!!
It makes whipping more seamless, the perfect Mother’s Day gift, and is also $20 off!!

Can this be made with gluten free all purpose flour and money fruit?
Hi Christine, You can switch up the flour and use Monk Fruit, but you may end up with a more dense cupcake.
