It’s our go-to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838938 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 18:57:44 +0000 Jennibenni 2838938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: I’ve piped it before but actually I just made it this past weekend (added cocoa powder to make it chocolate) and slapped it on a cake with a spatula. It sets enough to not slide off but is still soft when you bite into it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838911 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:46:13 +0000 Foodnerd81 2838911@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@CatchAFallingStar: actually, I tried the exact recipe @snowjewelz: posted- all merengue buttercrrams use an egg of some sort (whole egg, egg white...). And I was very surprised but I actually found the Swiss merengue buttercream to be TOO buttery. I didn’t know that could happen! But that recipe she linked to has an option for testing that just calls for a small amount, which is great to see if you really like it. It’s a lot less sweet than regular American buttercream- seems like people who don’t like frosting like this one, but since I was making a cake for a 5 year old, who loves frosting, I went with the straight up sugar and butter :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838906 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:19:52 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2838906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sams Mom: so simple and sounds delicious.. thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838905 Thu, 09 Aug 2018 16:19:27 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2838905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: always more butter!

Thats the only downside. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838638 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 15:01:04 +0000 Foodnerd81 2838638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: do you need to refrigerate the cake with that? I have a whipped cream cream cheese frosting recipe that is so good but needs to be refrigerated and sometimes i don’t have the space in my fridge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838629 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:20:40 +0000 Mrsbells 2838629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838627 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:18:47 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2838627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Make sure the cool whip is not at all frozen or you will end up with lumps. :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838621 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 14:00:15 +0000 Mrsbells 2838621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cereal: wow i will have to try that </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838616 Wed, 08 Aug 2018 13:19:27 +0000 Mrs. Cereal 2838616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: Yep!

To me the best ones have a higher butter to powdered sugar ratio and plenty of vanilla. When I skimp on the butter I’m disappointed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838363 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:28:07 +0000 Sams Mom 2838363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is my go to </p> [attach=8928/18/pd3puv.337x600.Screenshot_20180807-122728.png] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/buttercream-recipes#post-2838362 Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:25:13 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 2838362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please give me your favorite buttercream recipe for a birthday cake!
