In reply to Celina K.. Yay, Celina! So happy it worked well with Crisco! If it ends up too thick you can add an additional Tablespoon of room temperature milk to thin it out and make it more spreadable. Keep adding more room temperature milk as needed. Hope that helps!

I used this recipe for my cousin’s 3-tier, pearl covered wedding cake. It was an outdoor/ indoor venue in the beginning of September in Michigan (very hard to know how hot it could have been). This frosting held up beautifully and kept all the sugar pearls (many of them quite large) perfectly in place! Also, everyone LOVED how it tasted. Thank you much for an awesome recipe that took quite of a bit of anxiety out of putting together my first wedding cake for someone else!

I’ve used this recipe 2x now for my Daughter’s June birthday in Wisconsin. Definitely holds up. Can’t find HRS but used Crisco and still works well.

Any suggestions on how I could get it to spread better?

In reply to NA. Hi there! Simply because meringue powder is made from egg whites and isn't vegan. Otherwise I would include it!

Just wondering why you omit the meringue powder in the vegan version of this recipe? Thank you

Thank you for this recipe! I was asked (by a friend of the family) to make my first wedding cake.
Being in SoCal during August made me nervous, but after a lot of research I went with this buttercream recipe. I made sure to test the buttercream on a practice cake. It was delicious!
I was told the wedding party loved the cake and it didn’t break a sweat! Thank you! I look forward to trying out your other recipes!

Hi Jada! Start with this chocolate buttercream recipe: https://sugarandsparrow.com/chocolate-buttercream-recipe/. For each batch, sub half of the butter for shortening + add 1 Tbsp meringue powder or cream of tartar. Hope that helps!

In reply to Meredith. Good Afternoon, I love this recipe it’s honestly really good but, I was wondering to make a chocolate buttercream that will be heat resistant how can I do it with the similar ratios? I’m trying to make a smash cake for my daughter for her first birthday on Sunday. I live in Texas where it is extremely hot. So I don’t want it to melt in the car…
