i dont know how to make buttercream that actually taste like butter cream for a 5 tier cake i need help.
Do a Google search and pick recipes with good reviews. Obviously you want to look for something with a high ratio of real butter.
Hi Phat1228 I have a recipe for buttercream you might want to try. Everyone loves the taste. I use unsalted butter,if you use 250grams of butter you use double that amount in icing sugar/ powdered sugar 500grams. Cream the butter in a mixer until fluffy and lighter in colour than when you started,then sieve powdered sugar in with butter(remember to keep mixer on slow speed for this part or you will have a snow white kitchen lol). To get your flavour ie lemon, strawberry etc i use my own homemade jam,but supermarket jam will do fine as long as it is good quality.If your mix seems to thick or dense just add a little milk to get the consistency you require. I find that for cakes i need to add just a little milk but for cupcakes it needs a little more milk.As an alternative to jam you could also add flavourings to the butter/powdered sugar or for chocolate buttercream replace the jam with melted chocolate.HTH
I have posted a super! *GREAT!* recipe on this site. Here are the ingredients but y ou will have to find the acatual thread for the directions:
"2 of everything Icing"
2 cups butter
2 cups shortening (I prefere Crisco)
2 pounds powdered sugar

Am I the ONLY person who uses salted butter? I find that unsalted produces an icing that is too sweet. Using salted gives a "richer" flavor in my opinion.
Can this be smoothed out with the paper towel method? Can you pipe roses with this recipe?
I use salted butter. And I use the recipe that's been on the back of the C&H powdered sugar box since before most of us were born.
The thread title is a tad vague: counting both cold-process and hot-process buttercreams, there are at least half a dozen different kinds of buttercream, probably more, and probably hundreds of variations. On Good Eats, Alton Brown demonstrates a frosting he identifies only as "buttercream," but given that it includes eggs, and uses simple syrup rather than powdered sugar, it's some kind of meringue buttercream.
