For decorating my buttercream cakes I use 250g butter, 500g icing sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tbs meringue powder. I beat together the butter and vanilla until pale and creamy, I Mix the meringue powder with the icing sugar and then add this 1/2 cup at a time making sure its well incorporated before adding more. I use this for piping flowers, for actually covering the cakes I usually leave out the meringue powder. Hope this helps

<p>I like the one that June posted too. I've used it a number of times. This is the Swiss Meringue Buttercream that I make. <a href="https://fromscratchsf.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/tutorial-swiss-meringue-buttercream/" target="_blank">https://fromscratchsf.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/tutorial-swiss-meringue-buttercream/</a> She used to have the pictures up of each step but doesn't any more. You can increase the amount of sugar if you prefer things a little sweeter. I do that sometimes…</p>

You can increase the amount of sugar if you prefer things a little sweeter. I do that sometimes depending on what I'm going to add. Make sure you use unsalted butter and then add a little salt. Some butters are too salty and will affect the taste. It also needs more flavoring than the American buttercream. </p> I'd love to try it Goreti!

<p>I'd love to try it Goreti! I will also try June's recipe they both sound good, I;m so boring with BC all the time haha. I like the whipped icing like Walmart uses and tried a recipe that is supposed to be theirs but it wasn't quite the same and its so soft for decorating.</p>

Wendy my go to buttercream is Swiss 'meringue buttercream. My family does not care for super sweet icing so I use a recipe with less sugar than the norm. It is a little more involved then the American buttercream but if you want to try it let me know.

Yes it does, but it's not the greatest tasting icing. I very, very rarely use this unless it's practice icing. My go to icing is cooked flour icing. You can do half and half shortening and butter and it still tastes great. Holds up well. I use all butter in my recipe, adding some icing sugar and meringue powder to help crust and pipe.
