After I make a cake I sometimes have frosting left. Can buttercream be frozen? If so, how long?

If it is not the meringue based buttercreams, yes, they can be frozen. If they are protected from air and odors, they should be fine for weeks. The icing would need to be re-beaten before using.

I freeze my buttercream all the time. Works great - especially if you make black. I use a disposible bag and have extra couplers - so I just freeze the black in the bag that I've put into two freeze bags to keep out any odors. Works great - especially for doing that little bit of outlining. I just knead it in the bag and it works great.
