- 1/2 cup of whipping cream
Instructions

Using paddle attachment on blender generously beat the butter and shortening together until it’s fluffy. Slow down to stir setting (if using KitchenAid) and add vanilla and whipping cream. At this speed add powdered sugar two cups at a time scraping the bowl each time you add sugar. Once all ingredients are in the bowl beat on low for at least 10 mins or until buttercream is fluffy.
I have been trying to find a buttercream recipe that calls for whpping cream. Is this consistency suitable for a wedding cake? Is is too creamy, will it stick well?
Is this buttercream receipe like the one that you smooth it out with viva towel?
