    I haven't tried the recipe yet. But your down to earth nature is a rare element that I have come across in my 50 years of life.

    It’s amazing how you broke it down step by step for us beginners. Thank you so much for making this video. You’re very talented. 🎂🍰🧁
  • I love this recipe so much! People who normally dislike buttercream actually liked this one. Thanks for not using shortening too like in other recipes I’ve found. You are so right about the heavy cream, this will be my go to from now on. Also, you’re a great instructor! Thanks!
  • Thank you very much for actually giving out the recipes (written down) it made it easier to follow along

    I’m new to making homemade icing and yours was the simplest tutorial with different milk options. After watching several videos I thought I had to go to the store and buy whipping cream...which really wasn’t necessary. I used my hubby’s half and half cream and it turned out absolutely perfect 👌 😁

    This is amazing! It’s not INSANELY sweet like most buttercream recipes you’ll find, but its delicious and buttery and the right amount of sweetness. I made a gender reveal cake and the mom doesn’t NOT like super sugary things so the fact that she liked this icing made me so happy. Thanks for this recipe! I will definitely use it again and again!
