DECORATOR FROSTING I
This is a pure white wedding cake frosting. You can double the recipe if you have a sturdy mixer. Add milk according to purpose; you need less if you are making flowers or borders than if you are just covering a cake. Remove what you need for decorating before you thin the rest down for frosting.

DECORATOR BUTTERCREAM ICING
I always use this when I decorate cakes and I get many, many compliments on the wonderful taste. It is not that usual shortening-and-sugar-bakery-icing taste. If I am not using it to decorate a cake with, I use my all butter variation: Recipe #261024.

- For lemon, omit butter and vanilla flavorings and add 3 tsp.

Author Joe Sevier
- American buttercream frosting. Perhaps the simplest of all frostings is this uncooked, powdered-sugar-sweetened version of buttercream. It’s the classic type of frosting found on many old-fashioned birthday cakes.
- Swiss meringue buttercream. Making European-style buttercream is slightly more complicated than making American-style: there’s usually some kind of cooking involved, you’re often dealing with hot sugar, and timing matters.
- Italian meringue buttercream frosting. Italian buttercream also relies on egg whites, but it comes together a bit differently. In this case a hot sugar syrup is slowly added to the egg whites while they’re being whipped.
- French buttercream frosting. The method for making French buttercream is very similar to the way you make Italian buttercream, except that instead of whipping egg whites, you whip just the yolks.
- German buttercream (a.k.a. crème mousseline) This version of buttercream starts with a pastry cream or custard—that is, a mixture of cooked egg yolks, milk, sugar, and either cornstarch or flour.
- Whole-egg buttercream frosting. This version of buttercream lands somewhere in the middle of Swiss meringue buttercream and French buttercream. It asks for whole eggs, which means it has the richness of yolk-based buttercreams and lightness of meringue-based.
- Cream cheese frosting. Tangy cream cheese frosting is a natural partner for earthy, sweet carrot cake. Photo by Chelsea Kyle, Food Styling by Olivia Mack Anderson.
- Seven-Minute Frosting. Bright white seven-minute frosting is a long-time companion of dark, rich devil’s food cake. If you’re looking for maximum color contrast, it’s the pairing to beat.
- Ermine frosting (a.k.a. flour frosting, a.k.a. magic frosting) Cream cheese frosting may often be spread on red velvet cake these days, but ermine frosting is the original pairing.
- Old-school bakery frosting (a.k.a. grocery store cake–style frosting) For the sugar rush only this classic frosting can bring—the one closest to the icing you’ll find in shelf-stable cans and supermarket pastry cases—look toward American buttercream, but then veer away from butter and use vegetable shortening instead.
