Here’s how to make it:


Pumpkin Spice Buttercream Recipe

Ingredients:

 • 6 ounces (170g) Sweet Shoppe Pumpkin Spice Flavored Melting Wafers

 • 1 cup (16 Tbsp; 226g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

 • 2 cups (240g) confectioners sugar

 • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

 • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Instructions:

  1. Melt the Wafers: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the Sweet Shoppe Pumpkin Spice Melting Wafers. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring after each session. Once nearly melted, reduce the time to 20-second intervals until completely smooth. Let the melted wafers cool to room temperature.
  2. Cream the Butter: In a medium bowl, using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the softened butter on medium speed for about 1 minute until creamy.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Switch the mixer to low speed & gradually add the confectioners’ sugar. Mix until fully combined. Stir the cooled Pumpkin Spice Melting Wafers until smooth, then add them to the butter & sugar mixture. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes until well combined.
  4. Add Final Touches: Add the vanilla extract & salt, & beat for an additional minute. Taste the frosting. If it’s too thick, add 1 more tablespoon of heavy cream or milk. Adjust salt to taste if needed.
  5. This recipe will make enough frosting to cover 12 cupcakes, a 2-layer 8-inch cake, or a thin layer on a 9x13-inch quarter sheet cake. For a 2-layer cake, you can increase the recipe by 1.5 times.
