I have a confession…. I hate “american buttercream“ It’s true, I simply cannot be patriotic with my buttercream. One of my biggest pet peeves is the fact that this gritty sugary mess is called buttercream. It’s not buttery, and rich, and delicious. It’s sickeningly sweet and coats your mouth with a regretful crust of gross. [...]
