Ever wonder how to make Buttercream Frosting?  This super simple recipe for buttercream frosting will be perfect on your next cake or cupcakes.  I used a simple red velvet box mix for hubs birthday cake, but you could also make your own cake from scratch.  It also makes a great base for fancy cakes such as my daughters 4th birthday castle cake.

How to Make Buttercream Frosting:

I used my KitchenAid mixer which made this a snap!

Ingredients:

  • 1 stick of salted real butter
  • 1 stick of unsalted real butter
  • 1 cup of shortening (not oil)
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla
  • 2 pound bag of powdered sugar

Directions:

  1. Combine 1 stick of salted real butter, 1 stick of unsalted real butter, 1 cup of shortening (not oil) until smooth.
  2. Mix in 1 teaspoon of vanilla.
  3. Slowly add in a 2 pound bag of powdered sugar and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add 5-6 Tbsp of water (adding 1 T at a time).  Icing will be really stiff after adding in the powdered sugar, so add a little bit of water to get the texture you want.
