Snow-White Flavoured Buttercream Icing

"A great icing, makes enough for two gingerbread houses or about four cakes! I love this at the holidays, easily reduced as well, or store the icing for the next cake you make!"

    this is a very good crusting buttercream recipe. i used it for my wedding cake. i did have a few changes to the ingredients though -- decreased the meringue powder to 2 tablespoons and added 4 tablespoons of cornstarch, also i increased the clear vanilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons; for the salt, i used popcorn salt. overall though, i would give this recipe 5 stars!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am newly married, and adjusting to the wifey way. I am just starting my own kitchen, and slowly purchasing wonderful utensils and appliances so I can add to my cooking knowledge. My DH is a willing participant to my cooking, and will eat anything I place in front of him, even if I mess it up. In our house, we have a weird mix of food cultures. My DH is a southern boy, born and bred in Virginia State, while I am a good ol canadian girl raised in toronto. It has allowed us to bring together both values, tradition and food cultures to make a great mix!
