I have made this a couple times now, and I can honestly say that this is the best frosting out there.

[@jxmesinn]

I would honestly just make a whole batch of this and just eat it...

Using icing sugar in a dark coloured dress...

Today is the day I'm making this. My daughters party is tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Loved how informative this video was! The frosting looks so delicious! x

I made frosting using this exact techique a couple days ago. It was the smoothest (and most pipeable) frosting I have ever made. It piped the prettiest rosettes and swirls on my cupcakes I've ever had. And it was delicious!!! I did an extra half teaspoon of vanilla but that was just my preference.

For those who doesn't like this kind of American buttercream because it's too heavy and sweet, then I would definitely recommend making a meringue based buttercream such as Swiss and Italian buttercream. Because of the egg whites, they're very smooth, light, silky, not too sweet, and pipe a lot nicer than American buttercream. Likewise, if you want an even richer flavor, I would recommend making French buttercream which has egg yolks.

Making this right now!!! I don't care that it's

Gosh, I been following you forever and had written down your first buttercream recipe but lost it while moving from Hawaii to Germany or maybe Germany to US so here I am, getting it once more. So good and always people want more! Thanks Elise!

I don't like to bake but love watching these tutorials.

[@madalynconklin9192]

Thank you for posting this! I made this recipe to decorate my Granddaughter's birthday cake. It is far the best butter cream I have ever made and frosting & piping the cake was a breeze!

[@rudyscholl5578]

I got so excited when I saw this because when I first found this page I watched the perfectly pipe-able buttercream frosting and I had to convert all the measuring (for US) and over the years I learned the recipe and now I can recite everything by heart. I make it all the time and now everyone knows me for it.

[@aishashaikh5699]

I love the way she speaks 😍😍😍😍

[@2curiousdanielle306]

I love how you make it easy for foreigners by converting the measurements.

[@marshabisson3825]

Amazing frosting... I have been making cakes/cupcakes for years and this is by far the best frosting I have ever made. So easy to pipe.. This one is a keeper!

[@PovItalianCooking]

I wanted to make a cake for my wife. I'm a self-taught home cook who has never made more than a standard sheet cake with store bought icing. So, I've been reading different buttercream recipes and watching different videos. Your video was by far the best one I found for buttercream icing. The icing turned out perfect and the cake looks pretty good for someone who has little to no artistic ability such as myself. I want to thank you for your video! I also have a cooking channel intended for home cooks and also want to say that your videos are very well done, high quality and very well edited. Thank you!

Click, drool, make, drool, eat, drool.

[@amyb5146]

If you run the mixer on its lowest setting for a few minutes when it’s done, it will smooth the buttercream out and eliminate larger bubbles, making it even better! Enjoy! ❤️

[@candacewinning8161]

I just tried this recipe for the first time and I LOVE IT!!! It was so quick and easy to make.

[@amberfay54]

I just used this recipe today and oh my goodness it's super yummy. I used it for a cake for my fiancé and he loved it.
