There is definitely not enough butter in this buttercream frosting.

amazing! i halved it and it turned out nearly perfect! You do not need quite as much liquid especially if you live in a humid environment.

Kenneth Bass
its okay, to be honest its good! but 3 cups is too much. So if your not a fan pf sweet things, i would recommend putting 1 1/2 cups of sugar of 2 cups.
