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.
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- ½ cup shortening
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon butter flavored extract
Directions
Step 1
Mix heavy cream and flour in a small bowl. Heat mixture in the microwave for 45 seconds on high. Set aside to cool.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, shortening, confectioners' sugar, vanilla extract, and butter extract.
Step 3
Using an electric mixer, beat on low until combined. Then beat on medium speed for 6 to 8 minutes.
Step 4
Add heavy cream mixture, and beat on medium speed for another 10 minutes. (Mixture will appear soupy at first, but will become fluffy.)
