1 tbsp in a cake mix when you out in the dry mix.

In buttercream, it depends on how much and what recipe you are making. Wilton's BC is 1 tbsp for a batchwhuch uses 1 lb of sugar, so if you are making a basic BC, 1tbsp for each 1lb of sugar, I would think that is good. Different recipes take different amounts though. The whipped BC 2 bowl uses 3 tbsp, the whipped BC one bowl uses 1/4 cup. Good Luck.
