Cream butter first before adding sugar

Following the exact order while adding the ingredients is one simple approach to making the buttercream of your dreams. Before adding anything else, you should begin creaming the butter. It may be tempting to throw everything into a bowl and hope that it will blend nicely, but that isn't always the case. As an alternative, try blending the room-temperature butter until it turns paler in color and has a lighter texture. The sugar can now be added, but do so gradually. By doing so, the mixture will have enough time to adapt to the additions and everything will integrate easily.

There is always the option to do it by hand with a little elbow grease if you don't have a stand mixer. Use the same procedure, but start by beating the butter. By doing this, you may help the frosting become smooth and put it on a variety of baked goods. After all, there are numerous frosting varieties and applications, but buttercream is among the most adaptable of all of them.
