FAQ
It typically consists of butter, icing sugar also known as Confectioners Sugar or Powdered Sugar, flavouring and an extra addition such as milk or cream. American Buttercream can come in all types of consistencies as well, from soft to medium to stiff and thick consistencies.

Yes, American buttercream frosting is a “crusting” buttercream. This means that after frosting your cake, the surface will slightly dry or crust over, while remaining soft underneath. Unlike Swiss or Italian meringue buttercreams, which do not crust over.
Since Russian buttercream doesn't use powdered sugar, the frosting comes together quite nicely. American buttercream is more stable than Russian buttercream and is the preferred buttercream for cookie decorating. Both American buttercream and Russian buttercream frostings are perfect to top cakes and cupcakes.
