Best Wedding Cake Icing

This is my go to buttercream frosting that i ve been using for years and years.

Best wedding cake icing. Spread on cake after cake is completely cooled. To me this one tastes the best has a nice smooth texture and holds up under humidity fairly well. The swiss meringue is equally as elegant as the italian version but a little less exacting.

This is enough frosting for 1 2 layer cake or 1 sheet cake. A light whipped white frosting with a delicate almond flavor perfect for wedding cakes because it holds up really well. I recently tried the recipe for a wedding cake and it was positively wonderful.

The egg whites and sugar are heated to a temperature of 120 degrees over a pan of hot water beaten and cooled until stiff but not dry the butter is then added along with the extract of vanilla or other flavor. It s very important to mix this long step 2 add the rest of the powdered sugar and beat just enough to mix in. I also added additional vanilla flavor and almond flavor for a richer taste.

I used crisco and as recommended butter. My favorite wedding cake frosting is the italian meringue buttercream. Total time 15 minutes.

It is made with confectionery sugar and vanilla. According to stevi auble of hey there cupcake this topping is made with a combination of confectioners sugar butter and either milk or cream making it much sweeter than other options on this list. This makes 4 cups enough for 2 9 inch layers.
