It is really important to use real butter when you make buttercream. I found out the hard way that using olive oil spread or margarines does NOT work. Picture a hot day and split buttercream icing making all the decorations just slide right off my daughter’s enchanted fairy kingdom cake… worst cake I’ve ever made!

Love a good buttercream icing. We make this with strawberry flavouring cos the kids love all things pink

A good buttercream is always good. Lot’s of beating. Gad to see it called icing not frosting lol.

Very easy, but oh my goodness the amount of sugar !!

Wow, I never realised it was this simple to make. Thanks for sharing.

  I have given this a try and it was great. Thank you.

So easy!
For some reason I thought there would be a lot more ingredients in this type of icing.

Thanks for sharing, we have a party this weekend that I needed a icing recipe for.

Perfect. I can’t wait to try this one.

I am going to use this buttercream icing recipe the next time I bake a sponge cake.

A very simple buttercream recipe! Thank you. I like to add some Nutella to mine.

Hmmmm yum….great recepie easy will do next time I do cakes

Good for cake decorating, but I have to say I’ve never really liked the flavour of butter icing. And there’s usually a lot of it on a cupcake

Thanks a handy recipe for my cakes!

Buttercream icing is the best and I love it smothered on freshy made cupcakes.
