How to get intense colors with your buttercream and why it works. We'll also cover some common questions about this technique, such as if this alter the heated buttercream in terms of volume, or if you can skip all of this and just color the meringue.
This technique is great for European buttercreams (Swiss, Italian, French, German). American buttercream is a different breed of frosting, and has a different set of rules that I didn't cover in this video.

I’ve colored the butter before adding to the frosting. You need to use candy oil based colors. It works pretty well but you have to soften the butter and then let it harden up after.

@sarahy2759 3 года назад

I've never used heat to emulsify the color into the SMBC. Instead, I use the balloon whisk attachment on my hand held mixer to help incorporate the color. This is an intriguing idea though but would cause a bit more prep time.

@kellyw.1779 3 года назад

Hey Adriana! I've heard about this method but have never tried it. This is awesome and you explained it perfectly. I understand emulsifying oil and water because I make bath and beauty products and use an emulsifier in different products. Like in a bath bomb that contains oils or butters, you need to add an emulsifier like Polysorbate 80 so that there isn't a nasty oil slick floating on top of the water and it helps colorants like Mica's not stain or make a ring around the tub. Love how the different heating times creates the ombre effect! So cool to see the melted buttercream come back to its beautiful fluffy consistency. Great breakdown and info!! Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas! xoxo : )

@magikdust2095 2 года назад

This is a neat idea. I'm glad you showed us that putting the colour in at the beginning of beating the meringue, because I had that same question. I also wondered how much volume it lost, so I also appreciated that you showed that Another thing I'm wondering though, is if letting it sit in a air tight container for a few days would get the same bright colour as heating it does. I know that letting the icing sit with colour in it does intensify the colour, I'm just not sure if it would intensify the colour to the same extent as heating it does. So I'd be interested to know that. Anyway, this was a good video 👍

@Sugarologie 2 года назад

Yeah so that's a great point. Eventually the color will diffuse over time, but I didn't look at that. By agitating and heating, we are essentially speeding up the diffusion process. It may take a week, or even longer to get the same result just by going with timed diffusion. :)

@secondconflict570 2 года назад

Interesting. I always thought that the color was less intense because of all the air whipped into the egg whites. Like when you color taffy it's intense but it gets lighter and lighter with each pull due to the addition of air in little microbubbles. I figured that when heating the frosting it would melt and pop all of those bubbles, making the color more saturated.

@corneliastreet2491 Год назад

It would seem that way, but when you add the air back into it and re-emulsify it it stays super vibrant so…? Confused lol

@blaze5847 Год назад

@@corneliastreet2491 I'm not experienced with taffy making but I'd assume it's because unpulled taffy is just more translucent than unwhipped butter, so more of the pigment shows through the whole batch before you start working air into it. Butter is more opaque so most of the pigment you're seeing is only on the exposed surface of it while the rest is hidden underneath.

@corneliastreet2491 Год назад

@@blaze5847 that’s actually the opposite. Um pulled taffy is brighter and darker in color (more saturated) and when you pull it it becomes lighter and less saturated due to the air bubbles being added to it. But now that I’ve re-read the original comment it actually makes sense. Basically, the opposite of what you said 😅 but it’s totally not your fault bc I’m pretty sure most people aren’t super familiar with how taffy pulling works

@blaze5847 Год назад

@@corneliastreet2491 No, I understand how taffy pulling works as a process (just that I've never personally hand made taffy from start to finish myself so there may be some nuances I'm missing 😅). That's what I meant in my comment when they were comparing the process to taffy. The air bubbles introduce opacity into the previously translucent sugar syrup which is what lightens the colour by obscuring the pigmentation further in the mix (similarly to how cola foam is a pale brown colour despite liquid cola being a dark brown/black). Whereas with butter, it's already quite opaque so whipping air into it wouldn't affect the colour as dramatically since the colour of buttercream is just the colour of the pigment that's visibly exposed at the surface.

@corneliastreet2491 Год назад

@@blaze5847 it is to do with color, not quite as much opacity. Yes, that does happen! But in the case of the buttercream, the opacity isn’t changed either way so it can’t be quite the same process 😅

@mgarzaguzman Год назад

I can see that heating does deepen the color and how much time or heat you use also deepens the color. I like that it is simple enough to fix the melted, soupy mess by just chilling the buttercream for a bit and whipping it again to emulsify it. My question is, have you noticed any difference in the way it performs. Like maybe when piping or making flowers the buttercream melts way faster, or the stability isn't as strong as it can be when it isn't melted and emulsified again

@camilahearst4171 Год назад

Wow congratulations, smart girl! Thank you for your generosity sharing the trick!

@ElmavanderRyst Год назад

Hello, thanks for this video! Another hack I just discovered is to put a TINY amount of purple color into the naturally yellow (from the butter and vanilla) Swiss meringue buttercream to make it white (same a hair colorist would do to get a brassy tone out of hair). I'm making a chocolate cake with "candy cane" in between the layers, so want WHITE and RED. Using both your "hack" for the red, and the purple to get white this afternoon. Wish me luck!! :D (When watching your video I was struck by how white your buttercream is, and directly after you added all that butter too - no idea how you managed that lol)

@ethanheyne Год назад

Butter has a yellowish colorant added to it, otherwise it would be much closer to pure white. I wonder, how much trouble would it be to make your own butter without the colorant? Or is there a storebought butter with no color added?

@rachelboothe5075 2 года назад

I just found your video and it is great. I used a different microwave method before to try and get a deep black, but I could never get it darker than a dark gray. Would it have worked to have done the melting and hardening in the refrigerator over and over until I got to the depth of black I wanted? Is there any point where the buttercream just get bad from being melted and hardened over and over?

@minyunii8789 Год назад

hello, may I ask something? after the color darken, how long do you think it would last in room temperature? I did this technique and the result was superb, the color was so pretty, but I feel like it is much easier and faster to get melted than regular SMBC without heating it. I hope you reply to this one, thankyouu 🙏🙏

@tonibell7997 2 года назад

@Sugarologie could you not melt the butter then add the colour before adding it to the egg and sugar mixture.. let it cool..and only whip it the once? Seems like hard work to whip it melt it and re whip it xx

@RebekahGilbert Год назад

After you add color to the meringue with this process, can you put it back in the fridge or freezer until ready to use? Do you have to use heat again to bring back the vibrancy? Or can you just use it like you would uncolored meringue when taking out from the fridge or freezer? Thank you!!

@josephinegoodall278 Год назад

the emulsifier in swiss meringue is proteins in the egg whites and butter i thought

@TechTails 2 года назад

Hey. So not sure if you tried this - but have you ever tried adding the food color to the egg whites before beating with the sugar? I would think this would have the same effect to distribute the color since egg whites are mostly water. Only issue would be youd not be sure of what color you get unless you knew the exact amount through testing. Cool trick on the microwave one either way. Learned it a long time ago and came to your conclusion also

@Sugarologie 2 года назад

Yeah so that works and gets you most of the way there - the only issue then is getting to the water in the butter, so you may be good if you’re not looking for a super intense color

@renownedbandanawearer1345 4 месяца назад

Unfortunately this didn’t work in my latest batch ☹️ Not sure why, but the buttercream just wouldn’t seem to re-whip into anything usable. No matter what temperature changes or beating I did tonight, the colour and some of the buttercream’s water content slowly separated from it, making the buttercream a slippery lumpy mess. This didn’t happen with the other half of the buttercream that I didn’t melt all the way (used the second method where I heated in increments till I was happy with the colour intensity). Other than breaking the emulsion by melting, I wondered if this was related to the fact I messed up the meringue a little when making it (overwhipped the whites and insta-cooked some of it when adding the syrup) or has something to do with the high humidity at home at the moment.

I have a question tho, would it be possible to make a swiss meringue buttercream but with ghee instead of butter? Because ghee is actually just cleared Butter without the water content right? Wouldn’t that make the color darker without the need of heating it in the microwave 🤔 But again the texture of ghee is very different and a bit too soft so idkk

@Sugarologie 3 года назад

Oh I like this question. So to my understanding ghee is just the butterfat - in which case if I'm right you will have the emulsifier present (located in the fat). The purpose though of the emulsifier is to connect water and fat though, and if you lack any of the water you may get a lessened color, because at that point we're just working with the water from the meringue. Although it may work, you'd just have to solidify the fat in the fridge before emulsifying.
