In a medium sized bowl, sift together the powdered sugar, meringue powder, and corn starch.
On medium speed, beat together the unsalted butter and cream cheese until lightened in color and fully incorporated (about 3 to 5 minutes)
Add vanilla extract, beat until well incorporated.
NOTE: Add gel food coloring here for colored buttercream frosting.
On low speed, add 1 cup of the powdered sugar mixture to the cream cheese mixture at a time, scraping down the bowl between each cup.
