Not sure how I feel about this frosting… it tastes like a whipped pudding? I mostly bake for my family and they enjoyed it, especially my son who claims that American buttercream tastes “too buttery”.
Maybe it’s the recipe I used, but it was runnier than I hoped for. If anyone has any tried and true recipes please let me know!

Forgot to mention I used a recipe from cupcake jemma: https://youtu.be/dVZdI3R_zEk?si=1dtoxGBDNKfNBbph
I used to use it as heating made it less grainy than American buttercream but since I discovered how to make Swiss meringue buttercream I rarely use ermine anymore.
Those cupcakes look nice though.
looks pretty good…did you try putting it in the fridge longer?
I’ve found myself going back to American buttercream but the trick is to whip the butter before adding anything else. Add the sugar slowly and use more vanilla than the recipe calls for. My frosting never tastes like butter.
This one by King Arthur is my go to. It has never steered me wrong and often make it with alternative milks. [https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/ermine-icing-cooked-flour-frosting-recipe](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/ermine-icing-cooked-flour-frosting-recipe)
