French Buttercream Frosting

French Buttercream Frosting

This French buttercream frosting is great for icing cakes and writing on them. It gets hard when refrigerated, so you have to let it come to room temperature before serving. You cannot make flowers with this recipe. I use this recipe every time I make birthday cakes for my family.
