Made this to frost raspberry-filled vanilla cupcakes and it was perfect – light, fluffy, and just sweet enough. Have soooo many ideas for future applications.

In reply to Emily Selanders. Lorann's Lemon Emulsion will add all the Lemon flavor you need. :)

Used this recipe to frost a pistachio cake. Absolutely perfect – texture, taste & held up nicely!

Ciao, vorrei ricoprire con la tua glassa una torta di compleanno che, però, consumeremo da amici distanti una mezz’ora da casa.. Secondo te è bene che completi la guarnizione prima di trasportarla o posso mettere la glassa in un contenitore e terminare l’assemblaggio a destinazione?
Grazie mille!

Hello

I want to try this buttercream frosting with my chocolate cake.
It’s either a 3 or 4 layer cake.
Can this recipe be doubled

In reply to Debra. Hi Debra! I'm not sure lemon juice would add much flavor. You would be better off stirring in some zest but I haven't personally done it so I can't say how much to add.

Could you add lemon juice to this to make a white chocolate lemon buttercream? Any suggestion about how much lemon juice to add?

I have been searching for a frosting of this consistency for YEARS. Your recipe is PERFECT and is now my go-to. I had a bag of white chocolate chips on hand and googled ‘white chocolate frosting’, which I’d never made. It was perfect for strawberry cupcakes and is not dense or cloying sweet. What a happy find!

I wanted to recreate a white chocolate cake I’d eaten at a restaurant, and this surpasses theirs by far!! So easy and delicious! I added raspberry filling to my cake and it set this recipe off!! Definitely using for more of my baked goods

In reply to Camelia. I'm so glad you enjoyed it, Camelia! Some brands of butter are just a bit more yellow than others. I have heard that a tiny drop of violet food coloring can help turn it white, but I haven't personally done it. Let me know how it goes if you try it. :)

Love this recipe!!! Although it turned out slightly yellow for an all-white cake.. any tricks? I’ve heard you can add a drop of violet but I think it’s mostly in the chocolate / butter brand.

In reply to Jason. That's going to be personal preference, but this is not on the sweeter side of frostings.

In reply to Brittany Brement. Hi Brittany! This is a little bit of a softer frosting so for finer details I would recommend the American buttercream frosting. :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. so, you mean, 1 cup of butter and 2 cup of powder sugar is not super sweet?

By: Sam Merritt

Sam Merritt — Fri, 03 Oct 2025 01:28:04 +0000

In reply to Jason. Hi Jason! This frosting is not as sweet as your standard American buttercream. :)
