Ingredients
Directions
- Beat the butter until it's light and fluffy.
- Add all the powdered sugar and mix at low speed.
- Pour in the heavy cream gradually, about one tablespoon at a time.
- Switch to high speed and whip to incorporate air, making the buttercream fluffy.
- If using multiple colors, divide the frosting into separate bowls. Add food coloring to each and mix until uniform. The frosting should be smooth and airy.
- Keep unused frosting covered with a damp paper towel to prevent a crust from forming.
