Posted by kdoyle003 This butter cream is great for any cake I am using a french vanilla flavoring but any flavor can be added. Ingredients 2lb Powder Sugar 2 sticks unsalted butter (I use Lando O Lakes) Sour Cream 2 Tsp Milk 1 tbsp French Vanilla Flavoring (or flavor of choice) Instructions Mix all except Sour Cream. Start with adding 1Tbsp at a time of sour cream until you have the consistancy you prefer. I use less when using it to pipe or decorate and more when icing a cake. read more

Posted by MamaCakesNJ Every cream cheese icing I tried seemed off...either too creamy, not cream-cheesy enough, too sweet, or too heavy. After many tries and a little tweaking, I think I've got it! Will spread on 24 cupcakes or do 18 1M piping swirls. Ingredients 1 Stick of Butter 1.5 Blocks of Cream Cheese (12oz.) 2 to 3 Cups of Powdered Sugar (to taste) 1.5 tsp. Vanilla Instructions 1. Cream together butter and cream cheese. 2. Add vanilla. 3. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Taste. If you like it this cream-cheesy, leave it. Or, add 1/2 cup... read more

Posted by jtp139 This is my go to buttercream. My mom taught me how to make it. It's very simple but takes a while to make. It can be used alone or as a great base for fondant. I usually make it a few days before and stick it in the fridge to give it time to meld together. You will need to re-whip it before frosting. Ingredients 12 Large egg whites 1-2 Lbs. Superfine Sugar (depending on you taste) 6 sticks (3 Cups) of Unsalted Butter cut into chunks (about 1Tbs. per chunk) 1 Tsp. Vanilla Enough to cover at least a 4 layered 10" cake using 2" deep pans.... read more

Posted by shanney54 This is the chocolate frosting recipe that I use. It has a good chocolate flavor and crusts good, too. I am not sure exactly how many cups this makes, but I had enough to frost a 2-layer 8-in cake that was torted and had some leftover. If you don't need a ton it can be halved also. Ingredients 2 cups butter, softened (I use unsalted butter) 9 cups powdered sugar 2 1/2 cups cocoa powder 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 cups milk Instructions Cream butter in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Add vanilla and... read more
