Grandma’s Buttercream

I’ve come to realize there are two types of people in this world!

Those that prefer the classic rich buttercream on their birthday cakes or…..

Those that prefer the light (not as sweet) whipped topping you can find at places like Walmart and HEB. I have to question these type of people but I guess we are all entitled to our own opinions lol! #teambuttercream

If you’re a whipped person you might as well sign off now… cause this is not the recipe for you!

Tip

Grandma’s buttercream is ultra sweet and my go-to recipe anytime I’m whipping up a cake for a celebration! I prefer to use real butter (unsalted) instead of the original recipe that calls for margarine but really you can’t go wrong either way!

I always double this recipe! I hardly ever make just one batch, most times I go as far as quadrupling the recipe. It takes a lot of icing to fill multiple layers and to decorate a cake!

Oh, I forgot to mention its pretty much a sin to let any of this stuff go to waste! So lick those spoons and bowls and spread any leftover icing on top of a ritz cracker and snack away! Seriously though… TRY the ritz cracker smothered in this icing! It’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s buttery… it’s perfection!

 

Hope you enjoy this recipe!
