This extraordinarily silky version of buttercream gets its texture and soft sweetness from marshmallow creme and is one of the Betty Crocker™ Kitchen's favorite scratch frostings. Perfect for cakes, cupcakes, layer cakes—or sometimes sneaking a spoonful. We’re pretty sure once you try it, you’ll feel the same way!

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Scrape off your icing spatula often enough while frosting the cake to keep from introducing crumbs to your masterpiece!
  • tip 2
    To keep your serving plate clean while frosting the cake, place strips of waxed paper around edge of plate. Remove after frosting is complete.
