[quote=Anonymous]Actually buttercream IS made with POWDERED SUGAR - at least the American buttercream. The old fashioned way has some shortening in it as well, to make the icing whiter and to keep it from melting. The buttercream icing made with granulated sugar and egg yolk is the European way and it doesn't taste the same. I have not found ANY place in Northern Virginia or DC that makes the old fashioned buttercream that used to be sold in bakeries and grocery stores throughout the south up until the 1990s. As for Cake Love, I've tasted freezer burn in at least two cakes, so I won't even buy a slice there anymore. Wegmann's may be the closest to the old fashioned buttercream iced birthday cake - but Costco, Safeway and Giant don't even come close (I've read the ingredients too. If there's any butter at all, it's way down on the list of ingredients) Giant used to have great cakes until they were bought out by that Dutch company. [/quote]
