Patty – Yes, 2 lbs of P. Sugar. It’s not as stiff of a buttercream as Wilton. Play around with the milk measurement. Lately, I’ve been using less.

I made this for the first time last week and my co-workers and family loved it. I am making a cake for a teenager’s birthday party tomorrow and will be using the recipe again. And it makes alot so I can ice a 10-inch and 8-inch cake with it. Thanks!

i am getting ready to try this icing for the first time and want to be sure i have the portions correct. is it really 2 lbs of sugar ? seems a little low for the amount of fat and liquid and would like to be sure.

thanks

Can anyone tell me how this compares sweetness wise to the Wilton standard buttercream recipe? I’m not a fan at all of the taste of the Wilton buttercream – way too sweet – but it is great for decorating with.

I made this the other night (made it quite some time back) and remembered why I did not like it for frosting cakes. First I will say it tastes GREAT and is really easy to make! But it’s gritty looking from adding the milk and sometimes looks mildly ‘curdled’. It’s PERFECT for that ‘homemade’ looking icing on cupcakes – but if you want super smooth, stick with heavy shortening based recipes or egg whites and butter. I will use this only for cupcakes.

I made this BC last night and my family loved it! I’ve been trying to find just the right one, and this is it! Mamabaer, did you use a 5 QT mixer when doubling your batch? How much liquid do you use?

I have used this for 2 years. It is awesome. i have customers who come to me just because they are addicted to this icing! It IS a crusting bc I use sugarshacks tip about doing a double batch to make it go above the beater in your stand mixer and leave it on for 7-10 minutes. This makes it as smooth as silk! I don’t use as much liquid as the recipe calls for much of the time, but depending on the day’s humidity, there have been occassions that I have needed all of it.
