This looks good. I think I am going to try it next time I bake a cake. I am very excited about finding your website. Baking and cake decorating is a little hobby of mine. I say little because I don't have much time because I work, have kids, blah, blah, blah. But, I LOVE making cakes. Looking forward to getting lots of good tips and recipes from your site.
I just learned to use Meringue Powder in my frostings, love it!! =)
Oh this sounds so DELICIOUS!
Thank you so much for the recipe. I have a special liking for buttercream and that makes me hovering over your posts. I am here on you blog as long as buttercream stays on your blogs. Good work! Keep it up.
This was soooo good! I am not a huge fan of Almond flavor and these rock my world. Followed the recipe to a T and it is awesome! Thank you!
How long will this frosting last if I make it ahead of time and put in the refrigerator?
Do you need to refrigerate and how long will it be good at room temp??
I tried several recipes for almond buttercream icing and this is by far the best! The taste is incredible and it is very easy to work with. A+ from me!
Excellent taste!!
