For the buttercream, beat the butter for 5 minutes (either using an electric hand whisk or a freestanding mixer fitted with a paddle attachment). Add the icing sugar in batches, mixing well between each addition. Once combined, add a tablespoon of milk and combine until smooth, adding a little more milk if the buttercream is too stiff. Transfer a quarter of the buttercream to a separate bowl and add a drop of the red food colouring to it. Mix until an even colour, adding more red colouring if a darker colour is required. Leave the other larger bowl of buttercream white. a b c d e f g h i Wendy Devlin (February 16, 2007). "History of the piñata". Mexconnect. ISSN 1028-9089. Archived from the original on May 31, 2009 .

Traditionally in Mexico, especially at Christmas, piñatas are filled with fruit and candies such as guavas, oranges, jicamas, pieces of sugar cane, tejocotes and wrapped candies. Some piñatas are "traps" filled with flour, confetti or water. Special baskets of treats may be given to children who come up empty handed after a piñata is broken. These are called colaciónes and are given to prevent hurt feelings. [3] Spargerea piniatei reprezintă triumful binelui asupra răului. Încă de pe acele vremuri oamenii erau legați la ochi, iar cei din jur îi încurajau și încercau să îi ajute astfel încât să spargă piniata sau încercau să îi inducă în eroare. Mai mult de atât cel care trebuia să lovească piniata era obligat să se învârtă de 33 de ori înainte de a o lovi, se crede că acest număr reprezintă vârsta lui Iisus. În Mexic piniata se pregătește simbolic cu 12 zile înainte de Craciun în semn de respect pentru Fecioara Maria și Iosif. În zilele nostre există chiar două tipuri de piniata: cea tradițională pe care copii o vor lovi pentru a se bucura de surprizele din interior și cea cu sfori colorate de care copii pot trage și asfel toate bunătățile vor cădea printre cei mici.

About 400 families in the town of San Juan de la Puerta, in the south of the Cuerámaro municipality in Guanajuato, are dedicated to the creation of piñatas, and produce about 16,000 pieces each month. The making of piñatas supports about half of the people in the town. It is the second most important economic activity after agriculture. This tradition began in 1960 by Juan Remigio Anguiano, who brought the craft to the town after living in Mexico City. Today, piñatas from the town are sold in various parts of the state.

In the Philippines, a similar game called hampas- palayok or pukpok-palayok [32] (hit-the-pot) is played during Filipino fiestas and traditional parties (e.g., birthdays), in which a clay pot filled with treats and/or prizes is used. Also đập nêu (pot-hitting) appears in Vietnamese traditional custom. In Maharashtra, India, another similar tradition called Dahi Handi is observed on the festival of Janmashtami, Lord Krishna's birthday. The iconography represents Lord Krishna's childhood portrayal as the mischievous Maakhan Chor (butter thief). Clay pots filled with buttermilk, money or treats, in lieu of butter, are hung in public squares or on streets at a height implicitly challenging youngsters to break them. Teams put in great planning, skill and effort to form human pyramids, each higher than the other, in an attempt to break the pot and claim the prize. [30]In the penal facility of Huajuapan de León, prisoners make piñatas to sell. This began when several prisoners brought the craft with them when they were incarcerated about twenty years ago. These piñatas have become traditional for the population of the city for Christmas. [4] Piñatas have also become popular in Mexican-American and other Hispanic and Latino communities in the United States, as well as non-Hispanic populations. They are used for birthday parties, Christmas and Cinco de Mayo celebrations. [24] [25] [26] [27]
Today, the piñata is still part of Mexican culture, the cultures of other countries in Latin America, as well as the United States, but it has mostly lost its religious character.a b c d e f Cristal Barrientos Torres (December 21, 2003).

When the cakes are completely cool, use a large serrated knife to remove any domed tops from the cakes. Ideally the cakes should be completely flat on top. Using a 8–9cm/3¼–3½in round pastry cutter, cut out the centre from three of the cakes (alternatively use a bowl or glass as a guide). The holes need to be in the same place on each cake to create the cavity which will be filled with sweets.
