3 Butter Cream Frosting Recipes

Are you tired of wasting your money on store bought frostings? If so, I have 3 of my favorite butter cream recipes to share with you.

These recipes are fast, easy and taste delicious. You can spread the frosting onto cakes, brownies and cupcakes.

Here are a few tips:

1. Don't confuse granulated sugar with confectioner's sugar. They are different and can not be used interchangeably.

2. If you want delicious results, use butter. You will not get the same results if you use margarine.

3. Frosting is supposed to be thick and creamy. Don't over beat.

4. Only spread onto a completely cooled cake. After serving, refrigerate left-overs.
