Does Anyone Not Offer American Buttercream?

I use a whipped powdered sugar buttercream and I adore it and so does everyone else. No greasy film, no grit. It isn't too sweet at all and it is VERY VERY good. I don't worry about air bubbles because I do hot spatula method of smoothing it out. It is very light and darn good.
can tou post the receipe Mosmom? sounds yummy!
Oh yes Mosmom, it sounds wonderful!!!
Yes.. you can leave a cake covered and iced in SMBC or IMBC on the counter covered in fondant overnight or even for a day or so.

I'm so confused. This totally goes against everything I've read about these recipes, that they have to be refrigerated.
If you want to keep it for weeks.. then yes.. it must be chilled, but over night or for a day it will be more than fine. I have had it out for a few days and it was more than fine.. no spoilage or off smell or taste. So long as you aren't adding a perishable filling to your cake it will be fine. If you have leftovers I would chill them becuse your whole cake will keep better that way.
And yes.. were are about 20 minutes from Epsom, NH where they are suspecting a tornado touched down and about 15 minutes from Deerfield where they think another one touched down.. scary stuff.
I did some vanilla cupcakes ( no filling) but just swirled the SMBC for the frosting and left them to sit covered on the table to see how long they would hold up and still taste good and the fifth day I ate the last one & it was stll delicous! That was the recipe using all butter.

Thank you for answering this question! I've been asking for everrrrrr.
I use both. My husband hates the SMBC but my 14 year old son Loves it. My husband always has a sweet tooth, but my son really does not like sweet things, they make him have a stomach ache. So I think it is to each his own. I love the SMBC. I have used it on a few cakes, but I did not get an overwhelming response to it so I think it depends on where you are and what people are used to.
We just need to educate them! lol

SMBC is just like 7 minute icing but with butter added? I have made this type and also the IMBC. My son didn't like it because it was to soft and buttery. Like my ABC...or frosting BC... powdered BC....whatever BC, add vanilla and orange flavoring and it's heavenly.
I need a lil more persuading to go to the other side. Heat and humidity is a big issue here.
After reading this, I definitely will have to try this SMBC IMBC.
I've used powdered frosting bc because that is what I learned. But I do mostly use the Whimisical Bakehouse house recipe, it is not as sweet and has a great texture!
I think I feel a just because cake coming...
calivettie, could you post the Whimsical Bakehouse recipe that you like...we are traditional BC lovers, but I'd like to try the one you use.
Thanks
