In reply to Mariska Zammit. Hi Mariska! Do not whip the cream first, just pour it in :)

In reply to Mary Martin. Hi Mary! In theory, yes, but it will give it a different flavour and texture.

I really want to try this out. This is my first time, when you say add the whipped cream gradually. Shall the cream be whipped already or incorporated and whip it with the buttercream??

In reply to P. Hi P! You should get by with 1.5x the recipe probably but I always like to err on the side of caution and have more frosting than I need so I would double it to be safe.

Hi Liv,

I want to make this buttercream frosting for a 3 later cake. Should I double the recipe?

Hi Liv,
I’m making your American Buttercream for my daughter’s birthday cake this weekend. I’m in Australia, so just wondering what heavy whipping cream is called here. Google is telling me I should go for pure cream rather than thickened cream as it doesn’t contain gelatine or additives. Would this be right?
