The decorations on this patriotic dessert remind me of a fireworks display. Since the recipe includes both cookies and cake, people can take their pick…or have both! —Jennifer Lindstrom, Brookfield, WI

Cute cake. I did use the wilton recipe for buttercream. It called for butter extract. Maybe that is where it gets the name from.

Cute cake design. I use a buttercream recipe from Wiltons and it is much better than this one. Love the design, so will keep the photo of the cake for future design ideas. Thanks

I made this frosting and thought it was okay. I made mine chocolate by adding 3 TBSP of cocoa and as with most everything sweet, added 1/2 tsp salt. It takes away the flat sweetness of icings can result from using powdered sugar. This frosting only seemed sweeter than traditional frostings, probably because it has less density. This is the way old fashioned icings were made. Always with shortening, never with butter. It was light and fluffy. Saturated fats aren't unhealthy so I am not afraid to use shortening, butter, etc. I

Not cool, where is the butter! I prefer butter, no DANGEROUS transfats.

Odd that it's called buttercream but not a speck of butter is in it. The design is nice though. Very patriotic. I might use the idea but make it with REAL buttercream.
