Hi Everyone,
First time post. My wife and I are trying our hand at cake baking for our daughter's birthday party. We are usually cookie bakers but why not try and do something from scratch instead of the normal box cake. We've made a delicious ... somewhat pound cakeish cake but the buttercream icing seems to melt too fast out of the fridge. Its nice and formed in the fridge (understandable). I'm wondering if we are using too much butter...the recipe:
3 sticks butter, unsalted
4 cups, confectioner sugar
2 tsp, vanilla extract
4 tbsp milk
Nothing too terribly hard. A lot of people seem to like the taste so far. My little brother said it reminded him of vanilla ice cream (taste wise) but I'm just wondering if we are going way overboard with the butter. Thoughts?
Thanks!
Lank
