My Favorite Butter Cream Frosting Recipes image

These are three of my favorite butter cream frosting recipes. All three of these recipes are tried and true. The first recipe is for a Wilton Butter Cream icing using both shortening and butter. The second recipe is a recipe I have used for many, many years, right off of the Domino Confectioners Sugar box, and lastly a recipe...

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 c solid vegetable shortening
1/2 c butter or margarine
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
5 c sifted confectioner's sugar (there are 4 cups in a pound)
3 Tbsp milk
DOMINO'S SUGAR BUTTER CREAM FROSTING
1 lb pkg. domino confectioners sugar
1/2 c butter
3-4 Tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
WILTON PROFESSIONAL BUTTERCREAM ICING
1 c solid white vegetable shortening
1 tsp wilton flavor (vanilla, almond or butter)
2 Tbsp milk or water
1 lb pure cane confectioners sugar (approximately 4 cups)
1 Tbsp wilton meringue powder
1 pinch salt (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Wilton Buttercream icing: In a large mixing bowl: cream butter and shortening with electric mixer.
  • 2. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed.
  • 3. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all the sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at high speed until light and fluffy.
  • 4. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until you are ready to decorate.
  • 5. Domino Sugar Butter Cream Frosting: Combine in a large bowl, with mixer at low speed, confectioner's sugar, butter, milk and vanilla.
  • 6. Beat at medium speed 1-2 minutes until creamy. If desired, add more milk until frosting is spreading consistency. Makes enough to fill and frost 2-layer cake, 13x9x2-inch sheet cake or 24 cupcakes.
  • 7. Professional Butter Cream Frosting: Cream shortening, flavoring and water. Add dry ingredients and mix on medium speed until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed together.
  • 8. Blend an additional minute or so, until creamy. Chocolate Buttercream Variation: Add 3/4 cup cocoa or three 1 oz. unsweetened chocolate squares, melted and additional 1 to 2 tablespoons water to recipe. Mix until well blended.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding a little more powdered sugar.

This frosting is a bit sweeter than I prefer, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a little less sugar if you don't like your frosting too sweet.

I was a little hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of buttercream frosting. But I'm so glad I did! This frosting is so light and fluffy, and it doesn't have that heavy, greasy feeling that some buttercream frostings have.

This is hands down the best buttercream frosting recipe I've ever tried. It's so creamy and smooth, and it pipes beautifully. I used it to frost my daughter's birthday cake and it was a huge hit.
