Silky Smooth Milk Buttercream

I always go for these silky smooth milk buttercream recipes by Cupcake Savvy’s Kitchen whenever I bake at home. These are great for layering and covering cakes and for piping! You need to make two batches when you try one of these flavors at home, as people will surely love them.
