Buttercream Icing
Buttercream icing is a rich, creamy confection made primarily from butter and powdered sugar that serves as the classic frosting for cakes and cupcakes. This versatile topping can be prepared in several styles, including American, French, and Swiss varieties, each with distinct preparation methods and textures. Due to its high butter and sugar content, buttercream is notably calorie-dense and should be stored refrigerated, though it's best served at room temperature for optimal spreadability.
