Steps:

1. Cream butter, vanilla extract and milk together with hand or stand mixer for 5 to 8 minutes or until butter turns pale.
2. Gradually add sugar, about 2 tablespoons per addition.
3. Alternately add a tablespoon of purple yam paste next to each addition of sugar.
4. Continue beating mixture until fluffy and stable enough to decorate your cakes or cupcakes.

 

Note: Purple yam paste can be added to any buttercream recipe, but always remember to add just enough to maintain its density/lightness.
