My favorite paring for this icing is wedding cake! I 1st made it with a dreamsicle cake and it was heavenly! It’s my absolute favorite icing recipe…It tastes buttery with out any butter flavor. It stands up well in heat and is easy to work with.
This is a white buttercream. Add color to surprise your guests!
