What is a good cake frosting recipe?

well i looked all over the internet and most i could find is buttercream frosting, which tastes like butte(i don't like butter that much)


im looking for a delicious cream frosting, it can contain butter, but not in an exaggerated amount.


well, i heard of french and italian being good, but there are soo many, if you know the name or a website of delicious frosting that will be great.





thank you in advanced.What is a good cake frosting recipe?
here's an option for you.





1 Quart of heavy whipping cream


1 package of INSTANT white chocolate pudding mix.





Simply whip together. This is what we use for a white chocolate mousse. It should be enough to cover an entire 9'; cake. It's very good and it's different. Now, if you want a french buttercream or an italian buttercream icing then I can give you that as well however you stated at the beginning of your question that you didn't want an excess of butter and unfortunately most icings do.What is a good cake frosting recipe?
