This is such a great video. And the irony is if I didn't actually listen to your explanation i still would have thought you were going up and down, the optical illusion is wild.
I think you just saved me from one of my mistakes. I like baking but have gotten frustrated with a few things. Ready to try this decorating thing again
Thank you! 💕 Last time I tried to make Swiss meringue cream cheese buttercream it was a soupy mess because the butter and meringue had not properly come together before I started adding the cream cheese and there was no going back. This looks like a much better method I can’t wait to try it.
I am a grandmother and I am trying to make cakes for my little grandchildren and so sometimes I can’t get the consistency right with my buttercream. I watch videos and videos and still for some reason. It’s really hard for me to get the formula like I see these videos and it’s like soft creamy and and, but it’s so loose though you know I love doing flowers and stuff like that but my problem is always the consistency of the buttercream. Could you help me out and tell me what I’m doing wrong? It’s really my heart to Cakes for my to make cakes for my grandchildren and family.
Sooooo helpful!! This video and your icing one are saved, I watch them both periodically to remind me of tips I’ve forgotten! Thank you so much for these videos.
Thanks for talking about room temperature butter! I have wondered about that lately. I guess there is a consensus that we all have rooms approx 68-70 degrees! In winter, we don't blast the heat and keep our home about 65 degrees so I found that temperature affected my "room temperature" butter.
I saved my cake in the fridge with this swiss buttercream and I then the frosting stay super hard for days.. Should O leave the cakes always in room temperature?
Thanks for this great video. I have a question. My family don’t like butter cream. Can I use whipped cream that I sometimes use for cupcake or whipping cream with cream cheese? I whip the 33%cream and beat it with cream cheese and icing sugar and forms well. If I can use that instead of butter cream are all the steps exactly same as this video? Thanks
I got a small pot boiling and took it off the heat, sat the bowl over the pot while i used an electric whisk, maybe only about 30 seconds. As soon as i saw the texture began to change it was a huge relief. I just spent 2 hours making cupcakes and italian meringue for a potluck at work. Couldnt have it fail. Lol
Thank you so much, this really helped but I think I made the final layer of icing a bit too thin because a bunch of cake bits were visible but it still turned out great🎂
I worked for a bakery. They used a textured paper towel while they gently smoothed to leave a slight impression on the icing. It actually looked great.
Thank you for posting this!! My sister and I are beginner bakers and were freaking out thinking we did something wrong. Your video helped us realize what was wrong and how to fix it. ❤❤❤
