Old-Fashioned Homemade Buttercream Frosting (Marshmallow-Style)

Old-Fashioned Homemade Buttercream Frosting (Marshmallow-Style)

Introduction

This Old-Fashioned Marshmallow-Style Buttercream Frosting is light, fluffy, and silky smooth—very different from the typical heavy powdered-sugar frostings. Inspired by classic bakery frostings from decades past, it has a soft marshmallow-like texture and a delicate sweetness that pairs beautifully with cakes and cupcakes. Made with a cooked milk base and whipped butter, this frosting spreads easily and holds its shape perfectly for decorating.
