Very buttery and creamy! For those who wonder if it makes good decorations.. Yes and no... I was able to successfully make roses with it right after I made it, while it was still cold. However, as I continued to test out decorations my hand warmed it up and it was much too soft and melty to even make good stars! I tried to cool it off in a bowl of ice but it just wasn't much good after it got too warm.. For decorations, I mean! I'm sure it would make a great base frosting for cakes and cupcakes or even a delicious filling. Very tasty!! I just made this recipe and it is super yummy!! Very buttery and creamy!

To be safe, I always add the liquid just a little at a time until I get the consistency I'm looking for. Yes, the whipping cream tends to make the frosting nice and creamy.

I'm not sure if I would make ahead like that. Are you talking about preparing it, refrigerating it, and then trying to re-mix and frost at a later time? I’m not sure if I would make ahead like that.

I have a question for you. Okay, first, I didn't realize until now that you had a buttercream icing recipe posted or I would have used yours instead lol. I ended up using the following recipe a few weeks ago and tried not one but two times to get it right, thinking that maybe I did something wrong, but all I did was waste ingredients :( I noticed that you use whipping cream in your recipe. Could that be what is missing here? Mine was all liquidy and sugary, GROSS! The vanilla extract was overpowering as well. •1/2 cup butter, softened •4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar •1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract •5 to 6 tablespoons 2% milk That's the recipe that was so horrible. I found it somewhere on the internet. Any store bought icing was DEFINATELY better than this. I want to try yours. The pics looks great, but I know there had to be something missing from the recipe I used. I have seen other buttercream icing recipes and they at least use shortning as well. This one didn't call for that OR whipping cream. --Marie Hi Lori!

After bringing to room temp it just didn't taste right and would not remix well. I tend to use a shortening based recipe now but it's never as yummy as 'real' buttercream. Any suggestions?
