🍰 Here is a step by step tutorial on how I make my Vanilla Buttercream Frosting. I will include the recipe here in the post, as well as in the video. So save and share this video for the next time you plan on making frosting. 🧁

Vanilla Buttercream Recipe
Ingredients:
1 C Very Soft, Unsalted Butter 
5-7 Cups Powdered Sugar 
1 1/2 tsp CLEAR Vanilla Extract 
1/2 Tsp Almond Extract (optional)
1/2-1 C Heavy Cream 

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. In a stand mixer, use your paddle attachment and cream your butter. Mix on medium/high speed for 2-3 minutes. Or until creamy. (Make sure there are no clumps) 
2. Turn mixer down to low speed and add in your vanilla & almond extracts, and powdered sugar. 
3. Scrape down bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. 
4. Add in your heavy cream and mix for about 5 minutes or until creamy. (Add cream AS NEEDED. Don’t use all of it if you don’t need it. Too much cream will make your frosting runny) 
6. Once fully mixed, take off stand mixer and mix your frosting with a wooden spoon and get out any extra air pockets and create a smooth creamy finish.

**With this recipe, you can create so many fun flavor variations. You start by making the frosting, then add anything to it to create your flavor. For example: you can add peanut butter to make a Peanut Butter Buttercream. Lemon extract or zest and yellow food color to make a lemon frosting. 
There are so many possibilities! 
So have a fun time creating flavors that you enjoy. I would love to hear what you come up with. **
