[quote=Anonymous]What taste are you looking for? A real "buttercream" is supposed to be very buttery, but is not a taste that fits most modern eaters. It is the kind of thing that Julia Child would have prepared. (off topic, but Cakelove has this type of frosting and I find it hard to eat due to the richness of the butter, but others love this taste). As other suggest, try adding more sugar. A little cream/milk also cuts the richness, if your frosting is getting too dry. The frosting made in a store is shortening based, which I personally can't stand, but has the benefit of keeping well if left un-refrigerated (buttercream will go rancid). FYI, I love, love the chocolate frosting from Cherrybrook that is sold at Wholefoods. It seem pretty pricey for boxed powered sugar and coco powder, but tastes amazing.[/quote]
