For many bakers, it's their go-to frosting for topping cakes (of course!), along with cookies, brownies and even filling macarons. But not all types of buttercream are created equal.\r\n\r\nWhile all of these homemade frostings start with butter<\/a> and sugar, the method and texture vary between the main types of buttercream: American, French, Swiss, Italian and German. All are delicious, but you'll find that certain varieties suit your sweets better than others.\r\n

Types of Buttercream Frosting<\/h2>\r\n\"Types\r\n

1. American Buttercream<\/h3>\r\n\"American\r\n

Other names:<\/strong> Buttercream, decorator's buttercream, simple buttercream, decorator frosting<\/p>\r\n

Level:<\/strong> Easy<\/p>\r\nAmerican buttercream frosting<\/a> is the easiest and most common buttercream frosting\u2014and the quickest to make. It's often used in a piping bag<\/a> for decorating cakes. Plus, it's the sturdiest option for writing on a cake<\/a>.\r\n\r\nThis frosting is known for its sweet, rich flavor, but it can easily be changed by adding vanilla, almond, lemon or even mint extract. It's made with three basic ingredients: butter, confectioners' sugar and milk. The butter is beaten until creamy and smooth, the sugar is added to thicken it and the milk plays a role in its smooth texture. Lastly, flavorings are whipped in.\r\n\r\nEditor's Tip:<\/em> Ever wonder why buttercream frosting becomes crusty? It's because the milk tends to evaporate. A common fix for this issue is to add a tiny bit of light corn syrup into the mix.\r\n\r\nHow to st<\/strong>ore:<\/strong> American buttercream frosting can be left out at room temperature on a cake, or in a storage container, for up to three days.\r\n\r\nHave a lot of leftover frosting<\/a>? It can also be stored in the fridge or the freezer in an airtight container. Keep it in the fridge for one week or in the freezer for three months. Because this frosting is made up of just butter, sugar and milk, it will not go bad very fast. Learn how to make all the best types of frosting<\/a> to top your bakes.\r\n

2. French Buttercream<\/h3>\r\n\"French\r\n

Other names:<\/strong> P\u00e2t\u00e9 \u00e0 bombe buttercream<\/p>\r\n

Level:<\/strong> Difficult<\/p>\r\nFrench buttercream<\/a> is a light, smooth and creamy frosting. It consists of sugar syrup, egg yolks and butter, making it custard-like. It is made using the p\u00e2t\u00e9 \u00e0 bombe method. (Sounds fancy, but if Julia Child<\/a> could master it, you can too!)\r\n\r\nThe method calls for the egg yolks and sugar syrup to be whisked together. Then butter and extracts are added to create the buttercream. It's a great topping or filling for a cake, or it can be used to pipe simple decorations or cupcakes.\r\n\r\nHow to store:<\/strong> Due to the higher fat content, French buttercream can lose its shape in a warm environment quickly, so it's best to use it immediately. Treats topped with French buttercream should be put in the fridge if they will be sitting out longer than one hour. Leftover French buttercream can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for one week.\r\n

3. German Buttercream<\/h3>\r\n\"German\r\n

Other names:<\/strong> Cr\u00e8me mousseline and Bavarian buttercream<\/p>\r\n

Level:<\/strong> Moderate<\/p>\r\nGerman buttercream<\/a> is known for its creamy texture without being too sweet. It's made with pastry cream<\/a>, butter, confectioners' sugar and flavorings. The pastry cream is a cooked mixture of milk or cream, cornstarch and egg yolk. The pastry cream and butter are beaten together then confectioners' sugar is added.\r\n\r\nBecause it's made with pastry cream, German buttercream can melt quickly and is not recommended for decorating. Its best use is as a filling. Why not try it between the layers of your favorite vintage cake<\/a>?\r\n\r\nHow to store:<\/strong> With egg yolks in the recipe, German buttercream should be kept in the fridge at all times, whether applied to a cake or in an airtight container. The frosting will keep in the fridge in a storage container for up to one week, or it can be stored frozen for three months.\r\n

4. Swiss Meringue Buttercream<\/h3>\r\n\"swiss\r\n

Level:<\/strong> Moderate<\/p>\r\nSwiss meringue buttercream<\/a> is known for its silky, light and creamy texture without being too sweet. This texture comes from the meringue<\/a> base, which is created by whisking egg whites and sugar in a bowl on top of a pot of boiling water until it reaches 160\u00baF. It's then removed from the heat and whipped to stiff peaks<\/a> until the mixture has cooled.\r\n\r\nButter and flavorings are beaten into the meringue to create the buttercream. Because of its stiff meringue base, the frosting holds up well, will not crust and is great for piping cupcakes<\/a> and decorating cakes<\/a>.\r\n\r\nHow to store:<\/strong> Swiss meringue buttercream can be left out at room temperature for one to two days before it starts to lose shape. Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container and can be kept in the fridge for one week or in the freezer for six months.\r\n\r\n[dam-video dam-id=\"45827\"]\r\n

5. Italian Meringue Buttercream<\/h3>\r\n\"italian\r\n

Level:<\/strong> Difficult<\/p>\r\nItalian meringue buttercream<\/a> is identical in consistency and texture to Swiss meringue buttercream. However, the meringue is created using sugar syrup. The sugar syrup is mixed into whipped egg whites. Butter and flavorings are added at the last stage to create the buttercream.\r\n\r\nThe frosting holds well, will not crust and is also recommended for piping and decorating.\r\n\r\nHow to store:<\/strong> Italian meringue buttercream can be left out for one to two days at room temperature, whether on a cake or in an airtight container. Any leftovers should be kept in a container. It can be stored in the fridge for one week or in the freezer for six months.\r\n\r\n[cf]skyword_tracking_tag[\/cf]","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
