Notes
You can add 1-4 tablespoons of milk or cream into the marshmallow buttercream recipe, this will depend on the consistency you want for your piping. I prefer a smooth peanut butter consistency.
For a non-crusting buttercream, reduce the sugar to 2-3 cups, depending on your taste preference. If you are needing a crusting buttercream, do not reduce the amount of sugar, as this is what makes it form a crust.
This marshmallow buttercream tastes amazing on my s'mores cut out sugar cookie recipe.
