In the bowl of your stand mixer cream the butter on medium speed until it is light in color and smooth. This can take anywhere from 1-2 minutures depending on how soft the butter is.

With the mixer on low, add the powdered sugar one cup at a time. Scrape the bowl as needed. Mixed until fully incorporated.

Add the vanilla and whipping cream with the mixer on low speed untill combined. Slowly incease the speed to high and beat for 5 minutes. Stop the mixer once or twice to scrape the bowl as needed.

Equally divide the buttercream into three bowls. In one bowl add the cherry preserves, in another add the pistachio pudding mix and in the third add the cocoa powder.

If any of the buttercreams seem too thin after adding in the flavoring, add in a tbsp of powdered sugar at a time to thicken up. If they seem too thick add in a tsp of whipping cream at a time until it has thinned up.

If you choose to add any color to your buttercream do so at this time. We chose not to because we liked how the colors of each looked with just the flavoring.
