American Buttercream Frosting

Creamy, fluffy and not overly sweet compared to some frostings, this simple recipe is the go-to for hand-frosted everyday cakes and cupcakes.

    • Hi Christine, Yes, you can certainly use salted butter in this frosting recipe. It will give you a slightly different flavor, but should not cause adverse effects to the other ingredients. Happy Baking!

  • I have a baking group with more than 16K bakers in it. We LOVE Swans Down!!! If there’s any chance we can partner or have you a part of our page we’d live to have you! Check us out on FB, The Pound Cake Chics! #SwansDownLove

  • SwansDown has been used in our family since before I was born! My Aunty made the best pound cake and wouldn't use any other flour! I use her recipe (but she still had the magic touch over mine!) So glad I found your page on the Facebook!

    • Hi Michelle, We LOVE hearing stories of baking traditions being passed down and are happy that you have found us too. Happy Baking!

  • I bought your flour in Fort Buchanan Military Base in Puerto Rico.

    Thank you to sent me a recipe sheets. You're my inspiration. I'll dedicate my diploma to you. Am studying in the University and I am using your product, flour. Thanks to be my mentor and sponsor. I would like to have any recipe book from Swams Downs for my presentation in August 2021. Let me know how much cost and the way to get it.

    At the present time, I have to practice very hard how to cook and decorate a wedding cake. We have 4 months taking virtual classes and 2 months in the classroom, kitchen laboratory.

    • Hi Gethzaida, Thank you for the kind words. We love hearing from our happy Swans Down users. I've asked our Consumer Affairs to get in touch with you. Best of luck with your studies, and please let us know how your presentation cake turns out. Happy baking!
