Your buttercream is really good. I usually don’t like frosting but I finished all of yours.
I’ve found over the years that people who usually say they don’t like frosting really mean that they don’t like American-style buttercream. American-style is the easiest and simplest to make, which makes it commonly found in supermarkets. But it’s also the most sugary and one-toned in flavour.
My favourite style to make is Italian—it’s silky, pipes beautifully, and has a wonderfully light butter flavour.
I didn’t know there were different types of buttercream.
Yes! There are so many versions such as Italian, Swiss, German, French, and American style. The biggest difference between them is the base that helps stabilize the buttercream. Italian and Swiss styles are meringue-based, German is custard-based, French is yolk-based, and American is sugar-based. They all have their pros and cons depending on the application.
