The Best Buttercream Frosting Recipe Ever!

This buttercream frosting recipe is the best homemade cake frosting you will ever taste! Every time I get asked to bake a birthday cake, I am under strict orders to make sure it is loaded with this smooth and creamy topping.

It is so good, in fact, that I always have to make two batches...one for the cake, and one for my hubby and kids to lick clean! :)

This is actually the Wilton buttercream frosting recipe, so it is ideal for cake decorating. It can also be thinned to spreading consistency by adding a little bit of corn syrup.

Here's How to Make this Yummy, Easy Frosting Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup shortening
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• Light corn syrup

Directions:

Blend butter and shortening in a large bowl with mixer until well-blended and creamy. Blend in vanilla.

Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing after each addition.

Add milk; mix until light and fluffy. Use immediately, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Re-whip before using.

This recipe can be thinned out to spreading consistency by adding about 3 tablespoons of corn syrup.

Yield: 3 cups.
