Low

In a large bowl, combine the ingredients slowly until well mixed. Continue beating on low speed for 10 minutes or until creamy. Keep the bowl covered to prevent spillage. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks, and then used whenever you wish, but always beat the cream on low speed before use to achieve a smooth and easy-to-handle consistency.

Add water to lighten the buttercream or use less water for a firmer buttercream. The basic buttercream is sweet, vanilla-flavored, and can be modified into a variety of flavors. Substitute the vanilla flavoring for your favorite.
