buttercreams
Rich cake toppings
Buttercreams is the plural of buttercream, a rich frosting made by creaming butter with sugar, often with additions like milk, vanilla, or egg whites.
Different methods produce different textures—American buttercream is simple and sweet, while Swiss and Italian meringue buttercreams are lighter and silkier.
