I have gotten so many questions about how to make perfect buttercream, that I figured it was time to re-do the video tutorial. Vanilla buttercream was one of the first videos that we ever filmed, and I&#8217;ll admit, I had no idea what I was doing back then! But now, I have a great video, and an even better recipe to share with you!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><strong>Vanilla Buttercream Recipe<\/strong><\/span><br \/>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 cup (240 grams) butter<\/li>\n<li>8 cups (1 kilogram) icing sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) vanilla extract<\/li>\n<li>4-6 tablespoons (60 milliliters- 90 milliliters) milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Buttercream-recipe.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-9397\" title=\"perfect Buttercream recipe\" src=\"http:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Buttercream-recipe-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"how to make buttercream frosting \" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Buttercream-recipe-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Buttercream-recipe-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Buttercream-recipe.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Buttercream Icing Procedure:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until fluffy. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add half of the icing sugar and slowly continue to mix. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>With the mixer on low speed, add the vanilla and half of the milk.\u00a0 Mix until no clumps remain. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add the rest of the icing sugar, but do not add any more milk until the icing sugar begins to mix together more completely. \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Add one or two more tablespoons of milk until desired consistency is reached.\u00a0 (You will want a thinner buttercream for spreading onto cakes, and a thicker one for piping flowers, or borders.) \u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Use immediately or store in a sealed container for 2-3 days in the fridge. If you are storing the buttercream in the fridge, allow it to come to room temperature, and remix it briefly before using.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_target addtoany_list\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a class=\"a2a_button_facebook_like addtoany_special_service\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9396\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_twitter_tweet addtoany_special_service\" data-count=\"none\" data-url=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9396\" data-text=\"Perfect Buttercream Icing Recipe \/ How to Make Buttercream Frosting for Cake Decorating &#038; Piping\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_google_plusone addtoany_special_service\" data-annotation=\"none\" data-href=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/?p=9396\"><\/a><a class=\"a2a_button_pinterest\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/add_to\/pinterest?linkurl=https%3A%2F%2Fcookiescupcakesandcardio.co%2F%3Fp%3D9396&amp;linkname=Perfect%20Buttercream%20Icing%20Recipe%20%2F%20How%20to%20Make%20Buttercream%20Frosting%20for%20Cake%20Decorating%20%26%20Piping\" title=\"Pinterest\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/icons\/pinterest.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Pinterest\"\/><\/a><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\" href=\"http:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share_save\"><img src=\"https:\/\/cookiescupcakesandcardio.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nwpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you have ever wanted to know how to get the PERFECT HOMEMADE BUTTERCREAM recipe (also called frosting or icing), this video is for you!
