Because there are so few ingredients in this recipe, the two main ingredients (butter and sugar) can't be reduced or omitted. I don't recommend reducing the amount of sugar listed (yes, it is a lot, it is a sweet frosting) because a less sweet buttercream frosting tastes mostly of butter. Confectioner's sugar also adds stability and structure to your frosting. Confectioner's sugar - Necessary for a smooth texture and can't be substituted with granulated sugar.You'll be whipping your butter and other ingredients together - this requires room temperature butter for a creamy, smooth consistency. Cold butter or melted butter will not work for this recipe. Make sure your butter is room temperature, not cold or melted. Unsalted butter - Unsalted butter and the listed salt can be substituted with salted butter if desired.Looking for a chocolate version? Try my whipped chocolate buttercream frosting!

This frosting, with the addition of more heavy whipping cream and extra whipping time, turns out light, fluffy, and perfect for piping. It's a quick and easy option for topping your next batch of cupcakes or birthday cake.
