Tools for Making Homemade Buttercream

Stand Mixer: For creaming that butter to an almost-white consistency and for whipping in the cream to make fluffy frosting.
Cacao Powder: You can use store-bought cocoa powder, but I 100% love this all-natural cacao powder. It makes the frosting have a deep, rich chocolate flavor.
