Buttercream Cakes
Here, you will find some of my buttercream celebration cakes. I rarely work solely with buttercream but every now and then, I try to hone by skills and execute a few buttercream cakes.
Working with buttercream can be challenging if you are not used to it. But with a few know hows and constant practice, you can achieve the most amazing cakes using buttercream as your medium for design. I have two things which would help you in this regard. The first are links for the most amazing buttercream recipes:
(1) Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. Link here.
(2) Vanilla Bean Buttercream Frosting. Link here.
(3) Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Link here.
(4) Raspberry Buttercream Frosting. Link here.
The second is a very extensive tutorial on how to frost cakes with buttercream. That tutorial can be found here.

Hi Terry. My daughter’s birthday is around the corner and l want to bake a cake for her. l want to use RC to cover the cake. Can l use RC to frost the cake or must be BC all the way?I want to make that day a memorable one for her. Thanks.
Hi. What do you mean by RC?
l mean to say Royal icing while BC for buttercream icing. Thanks.
Oh ok. No you cannot use royal icing to fill. It gets very hard.
Pls can u tell me how u were able to write on the cake.is it butter icing?
It is fondant. I used a craft mold by Martha Stewart.
how did d fondant stick to the butter cream
Which fondant please?
Hi
Really do enjoy going through Ur website, u a great encouragement.
Ps: I find it hard to be able to scale my ingredients to match the size of pan. For example I want to bake a 14″ square cake bt confused Abt the recipe measurement. Can you help please.
Hi. I usually learn about scaling from my past experiences. I double and at times triple recipes in order to arrive as quantities for my various pan sizes. You might also need to bake several layers in order to arrive at the cake height of your choice.
Hi Terry…I would like to ask since I love having less sweet butter cream…would that be okay if I reduce the sugar from 460 to 200 gms?
Thanks in advance Terry.
The sugar is there more for structure/texture/consistency/body than sweetness. Reducing the sugar by more than half will leave you with almost just butter and flavor which will be too soft to use. In fact, reducing the sugar by any quantity will leave you with softer frosting. If you are reducing sugar, you will also need to reduce the cream or milk to strike a balance.
Hi terry plz do u have a recipe for fodant icing?
No I don’t.
Pls i’m new to baking what is the simplest icing i can do to my cake
Buttercream frosting. The recipe used for cakes on this page.
Can I use baking margarine instead of butter for butter cream icing.
Yes. But the taste and texture will be different.
