Earlier this week I found Indydeby's Buttercream recipe...I finally got a chance to try it out. I love it...the texture the taste the way it covers a cake. It was a little sweet but I know next time to add a little salt...but I'm glad it was sweet because my Satin Ice isn't schedule to arrive until Monday...(didn't order it early enough) So I had to use Wilton's Fondant. Before when I used Wilton I kneed flavor into the Fondant...but didn't have time to do that today. However, I used more icing underneath the fondant to offset the taste. I only wish I had found this buttercream sooner.

Thank you Indydeby for sharing

I just found her recipe too and I have to try it, can you tell me if the recipe is soft? thanks

Share the recipe! I am still struggling to find a BC I love!

Conchita I'm not sure what you mean by "soft" However, I will say it is very smooth. The recipe I was using before was hard to make roses. However, With Indydebi's buttercream They pipe so smooth No jagged edges...

Here's the link to the recipe

Thanks platinumlady, I was told this recipe gets very crusty I like my buttercream to be like whipped cream. but I will try it
thanks again for the link

Oh... okay Just add more milk. I wanted mine thinner because it was going under fondant and the more milk I add the more it had a whipped consistency. It's very light & one of the best things I like is that it does not require Meringue powered...so I don't have to change recipes if someone has an egg allergy

TY for sharing the link!!


If you want your BC to crust less use a lower end shortening. It took me forever to figure out why my BC wouldn't crust - I was cheaping out on the shortening! LOL.
