Directions
Extra Special Buttercream Icing,This is the best buttercream icing I have ever tasted. used it for my daughter’s wedding cake. I made a double batch, which was enough to ice, border, and pipe small decorations on the sides of the cake for a 14″ x 10″ x 6″ tiered cake. I think the whipping cream is the secret to making this icing special.,I LOVE this buttercream recipe! However, I prefer to omit the butter flavoring, and add additional Almond Extract. I am an allergy free baker, and have used coconut cream successfully as a HWC replacement, and dairy free butter to make this. I’ve also used sugar replacements (Think Swerve or Monkfruit) to make it Keto. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Donna for making one of my all time favorite recipes!!,I was looking for a smooth, light crusting icing for my daughter and future son-in-law’s cake. My daughter loves German Buttercream, but I have to travel several hours with her cake, then store it for a couple of days once I reach the destination. She loves the smoothness of the German so I tried several different recipes before I found this one. She loved it, and I have to say that I loved it, too, for several reasons, however, I did change it up just a bit. It was super easy to work with, had a light smooth taste and consistency, and crusted just enough. I even forgot to sift my sugar!
