I was thinking about using this recipe for a cake this week and I was wondering if it crusts, so that I can use the roller method on it for a nice smooth looking cake? I have never used either so it is going to be a first time for both. Thank in advance.

Yay! Finally a question I can answer. LOL
I just asked this too because I was looking for a new buttercream recipe. yes, it does crust and quite well. You should be able to use the roller with no trouble. I used a viva towel and it was nice and smooth.

Thank you, than I will be using this friday for my cake! I just need a different tasting butter cream icing! Something new to work with. I can make this tomorrow and store til use, Right? Thanks again!

Yes, this is the best bc that i have ever used - and yes it does store well - goodluck

the only buttercream I use now is buttercream dream! sweet-but not too sweet tasting and it crusts well too!

I was wondering the same thing when I found the recipe. I can't wait to try it!

I can't wait to try this! It's hard to believe it crusts over. I hope so, love that butter!

Where can I find the recipe for this icing?

maddyscreations - I use this recipe all the time. I found it under the "recipes" section of this website. Search under "frostings".

This is def my new buttercream recipe. I do NOT like buttercream and I hate the Wilton class recipe but this I actually liked and can eat. It's really very good. I'm glad I tried it.
All of you about to try it, have fun with your new found recipe!

I have one more question regaurding this frosting. I always use unsalted butter, does it matter if I use two sticks of unsalted butter? Thank you ladies I will be giving this a try later today!

I searched under frosting and got buttercream 1, 2 and 3 but no buttercream dream? Am I looking up the wrong title?

Here is the link:

This is the only one I use and I get tons of compliments on the taste!!
I find that it takes mine a little longer to crust, but it will.
You can make this a few days in advance if you need, it keeps well and I think it taste better after a day of two!
Good luck!!!

I searched out butter cream dream! Good Luck!

For those of you that have tried the recipe for buttercream dream, have any you used whipping cream in place of the milk in the recipe?

I have used whipping cream in place of the milk, and I have also used the Coffeemate creamers!! Either works well.

Thank you for the link I can't wait to try the recipe tonight! Can you use this buttercream to make flowers also?

What about the butter? Can I use just two sticks of unsalted butter? I only usually use unsalted!

I'm no expert on this buttercream recipe lol but in the description she said she used one of each for the sweetness/unsweetness factor. (Unsweetness? Is that a word? lol) If I were to answer you, I would say it's personal preference to use only unsalted butter. If you try that, let us know how it comes out.
