butter cream
Whipped sugary topping
Buttercream is a rich frosting made by beating butter with sugar, often with added flavorings like vanilla or chocolate.
It's the standard American cake frosting—smooth, sweet, and pipeable for decorative work.
Variations include Swiss and Italian buttercream, which incorporate egg whites for a lighter, silkier texture: She piped buttercream roses onto the wedding cake.
