The Best Buttercream

FAQ

unsalted butter. Follow this tip: Since butter makes up so much of a batch of buttercream (one-third to half is butter!), stick with using good-quality, unsalted butter. Use a brand that tastes good to you, and even better if it has a high percentage of fat and low water content.
If you've decorated a cake before, chances are you know at least one of the big three buttercreams: American, Swiss meringue and Italian meringue. But you might not know the differences between these types, or that there are SO many more you can try.
Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Both Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Italian Meringue Buttercream are commonly used by professional bakers, with Swiss meringue being slightly more popular. Both these buttercreams are made by whipping granulated sugar and egg whites into a meringue and then whipping butter into that meringue.
If you're wondering how to make buttercream white, like really vibrant white, the secret is actually to add color. To counteract that bit of yellow from the butter, add the slightest smidge of purple food coloring. Purple will neutralize the yellow tone and produce a buttercream that's a snowy white. Seriously!
If it's too stiff and sticks straight up, I suggest adding in more heavy cream (1 Tbsp at a time). If it's too thin and doesn't form a little peak at all, try adding a bit more powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time). You can also chill it in the fridge for 10-minute intervals.
