To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can cook buttercream icing using 7 ingredients and 7 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make Buttercream Icing:

1. Take 1 & 1/2 cups butter (at room temperature)
2. Get 1 & 1/2 cups shortening (regular or butter flavored)
3. Make ready 6 cups powered sugar
4. Prepare 6 tbsp heavy whipping cream
5. Take 3 tsp vanilla extract
6. Get 1 tsp almond extract (optional)
7. Take 1/4 tsp salt

Steps to make Buttercream Icing:

1. Start by whipping your butter and shorting (electric mixer is a must) mix for at least 5 minutes. You'll be able to tell that it is done when the butter turns white. (The mixing here is crucial!) side note the butter you see here is pure Irish butter, made from grass fed cows. Now, the butter you use does not have to be this brand, just make sure it is a pure, high grade butter.
2. By one cup at a time, SIFT and add your powered sugar. (Sifting your sugar is also very important, to get that super smooth texture) side note Domino brand works well…Ive used off brand sugar multiple times and it just never turns out the same. Key words to look for are PURE CANE SUGAR 😉
3. Once all of your sugar is incorporated, add salt and mix for about 5 minutes.
4. Add your cream, vanilla, and almond extract. Continue mixing for another 3-5 minutes.
5. You can also add food coloring at this time! Mix until color is fully blended.
