Refluffing buttercream is simple. Place the buttercream in a mixing bowl and use a mixer on low speed to break it up. If it's too stiff, add a tablespoon of milk or cream, then increase to medium speed. Continue mixing until the buttercream becomes light and fluffy again. Remember not to over-mix as it can lead to air bubbles, resulting in less smooth frosting.
