I tried this recipe and it was so delicious but I added a pinch of salt so it won't be sweet but it was a great consistency and a great taste thank u so much!

@bakinggirl6 MMMmmmm salt! Great idea! Glad you enjoyed it. I'm going to have to try salt too. I put salt in my salted caramel buttercream, but I've never tried it in the vanilla

I need to make some buttercream so I can cover my cake in fondant. Might be mailing the cake as a gift. Is this a good recipe to use, considering it has milk in it.

Thanks!

After you put the butter . Do you leave the cake like that at last or you do anything else after ?

[CupcakesandCardio]

@Apolita1980 You can decorate the cake however you want. If you want some piping tips you can watch our videos on how to decorate a cake, such as "Cake Decorating - Reverse Shell Border".
