I’ve been making and decorating cakes for over 50 years. While this video didn’t teach me much that I didn’t already know, I appreciate her lessons. I always use salted butter and often add a pinch more salt to dampen the sweetness.

@dooneyweb 11 месяцев назад

This was so helpful, I've never made a better buttercream in my life! I stuck to using the lowest setting and only adding the icing sugar to the butter 1/4 at a time. For anyone else using a handheld mixer, I used the dough hook attachments instead of the whisks and it worked a treat!

New subbie!!! I can’t wait to try this and see more of your recipes. Question?? Is there a way to practice frosting a pretend cake like styrofoam and let it dry to see how it looks or use it to decorate in a bakery window or shop? Or scrape it off and start again to practice again or on a mat? Ty. Only use this frosting for practice to get better at piping? Ty

@BritishGirlBakes Год назад

Hi! Yes, you can use this on styrofoam cake dummies or for practice piping but after it sets it can't be reused because it crusts and with get grainy if you stir it. After smoothing frosting or piping with it, just scrape it off and put it into an airtight container or a bowl covered with plastic wrap or even a large ziplock bag and then it will stay soft so you can reuse it.

Hi Emily, love all the tips. What would be the solution for condensation? I find some days when I put my cake inside the fridges just enough to get the crumb coat or the first coat of frosting to get hard (max of 30 to 45 mints in the fridge) and taken out to room temp that there’s condensation. Any tips or advice is much appreciated.

Mau God bless you Emily, i do like all your konten at your RU-vid, you really help me. And if i want to frosting 20 inch of cake, how many the measure of the recipe that i must use ? 🙏☺️

@littlelady3895 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips.... The tiny bit of purple to make a White White Buttercream, I heard on another video, it's opposite of yellow on the color wheel, and purple will cancel out the yellow. It said was best done to just the butter before adding the sugar. And I have since learned, that too much makes it kinda of Gray! Lol. Where do you stand on using part Shortening? One recipe I found uses 1 part Shortening to 3 parts real butter, mix then add the tiny bit of purple for a more white color, mix then add the sugar. But don't use to much or it will be greasy.

How would you adjust this adding a stick of shortening for stability in hot climates? This is pretty much the recipe I use minus the stick of butter and I can never find advice on when to add the shortening and how to avoid air from the shortening meaning you are mixing extra. Thanks! I just want that silky smooth buttercream finally!

@christinadawerson8498 Год назад

Look at karolyn kakes I think that’s how you spell her name but she uses shortening and she is very helpful

@waleskarivera74 Год назад

You want to mix both the shortening and butter together first so half and half of each then add the powder sugar. I like to make double batches as my 6 quart can handle it so I put 2 cups unsalted butter, 1 cup of vegetable shortening, and 2 bags of confectionery sugar about 4 LBS. I shake my bags off sugar for a bit and squeeze them so that I don't have to sift, I never have time and I'm batching large cakes.

Yes you can reduce the sugar but the consistency won't be as stiff. You can skip the milk/cream at the end of the recipe to compensate for using less sugar but if you find it's too loose for frosting or piping you'll need to add more sugar

I want a red and a light blue but I’m unsure I will get this colour if I’m using chocolate as it’s too dark. Any help or advice on what I can do for this? I have a chocolate buttercream cake to decorate so I thought I should use only chocolate buttercream to pipe the decoration as I thought the vanilla wouldn’t go right? Or am I wrong!! Need some advice oelase my sons birthday cake I want to decorate it needs to be a bright red and light blue pipped decoration!! 😂

@BritishGirlBakes 9 месяцев назад

Hi! You can use chocolate buttercream for darker colours e.g. navy but it won't work for lighter, bright colours like red because it will dull them. Instead, you can use chocolate buttercream for a crumb coat and then use vanilla (tinted any colours) for the final coat/top layer of frosting and decorations. That way you get maximum chocolate flavour and also bright colours! Hope that helps!
