Frosting Recipes

A collection of the best frosting recipes for use on any cupcakes, cakes, or cookies of your choosing!ย These recipes can be scaled up to whatever size cake you are frosting. See the notes for each recipe for tips and tricks on how to best alter the recipe for your needs.

My strawberry cream cheese frosting is probably the most well-loved recipe, especially during the Spring months or for Valentineโ€™s Day.

This recipe collection also has basic buttercream recipes, like chocolate buttercream for a layer cake or vanilla buttercream for a birthday cake.ย Donโ€™t miss my vegan recipes, too!

Tips for Making Frosting Recipes:

  • Ensure the butter is at the proper temperature listed for the recipe.
  • If frosting is too runny, refrigerate a portion, and then beat it back together.
  • If buttercream is grainy, this is usually because the butter is too cold or the powdered sugar wasnโ€™t sifted. Typically, beating for an extra few minutes will solve it.
