This is the BEST icing I've ever made! So simple and great! I used Land-O-Lakes unsalted butter and it came out really white without the purple dye. I'll try salted butter next time. I'm excited because I've tried so many icing recipes and have been so disappointed. And I made a special trip to the store for the Wilton vanilla, its the BEST. I will never use another vanilla extract ever again. Thank you so much!

@PitifulDelay
@PitifulDelay 7 месяцев назад
​@@KarolynsKakesIt's all about controlling the amount of salt. I guess it's not as big of a deal when you're making an icing that has about 2lbs of sugar in it because that much sugar overpowers all of the salt and that much salt balances out the sweetness. I, personally, like to use swiss meringue buttercream. For most recipes, that uses about 35% of the sugar that ABC has and about 37% more butter. That drastically affects the salt:sugar ratio. It's kinda like all purpose flour vs self rising. It's more versatile across products and you can easily add the elements that you need in the proportions that you need in order to get the effect you want.

Granddaughter's party is next weekend, thank you for all the tips. To make my "practice" cake's frosting, I don't have access to Sweetex, but I did use Crisco. I made my purple by mixing 1 toothpick in red and 1 in royal blue, put them into a dish to make my purple so I could add just a little on a toothpick. It worked! My buttercream icing is white! Thank you for that tip. Your buttercream icing recipe is great! I'm hoping 2 batches of icing is enough for frosting a 12 x 20 square cake next week?????
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад
Yay!! And I think 2 should be good, I would probably make 3 just in case, but then again I use it all the time so having extra isn't a big deal. (You can always freeze the extra icing if you don't use it for a while.)

Hey girl! Love your videos! With the cost of butter now, have you tried white margarine? You can get a 50# case from Gordon's around $75. I am curious to know your thoughts on using margarine. You are the bomb, as always! ❤
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes Год назад
I know margarine melts at a higher temp than butter, so it would hold up longer in the heat. However, I believe it would alter the structure and mouth feel of the icing. (Could be too soft, maybe gritty.) I've never used margarine in my icing. But if I were to try it, I would do 1/2 butter, 1/2 margarine, along with the shortening to see how that turns out. The Sweetex in the icing should keep the mouth feel really creamy. If you try it, please let me know how it turns out!
@phoebeaddison2020
@phoebeaddison2020 Год назад
In in my country, margarine is pretty expensive so most bakers prefer to use margarine instead. I have tried margarine only butter cream as well as just shortening butter cream(for whiter butter cream). I am yet to try butter cream with butter. But the margarine works fine too.

Hi. I'm 1 of your subscriber. Just wanted to ask if this buttercream is very stable even in a hot weather? I'm from Philippines and the weather here is hot. Thank you
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes Год назад
Hi! It’s stable because of the addition of the shortening. That melts at a higher temperature than butter!

Sorry this has nothing to do with the video, but I have to say that I trust your judgement, I’m trying to color my cream cheese icing a deep blue, will the microwave method work for it ? Thanks in advance
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад
I’m not sure I would want to microwave cream cheese. I never have done it myself. Maybe you could microwave some regular American Buttercream and then add that to the cream cheese icing and see if that works?

Shortening has a long shelf life. I would say at least a year! I recommend keeping it in an airtight container.

When I took the Wilton classes many years ago, they taught us to add meringue powder to our buttercream so that the buttercream would crust. Since you don't add meringue powder, how does your buttercream set-up? Thanks, Karolyn! 😊
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes Год назад
Yes, this buttercream does crust. The meringue powder will help to stiffen the icing so you can pipe flowers and they will hold their shape!

@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад
The high ratio shortening is great because it isn't greasy, it is very smooth and has a great consistency. If you don't want to invest in a huge block of the shortening, search around and see if you can find a smaller tub of it to test it out.

Thank you so much for this, Karolyn! I am curious why you use the paddle attachment rather than the whisk -- is it avoid incorporating air, and therefor bubbles? Is that the main reason you would use the paddle rather than the whisk in general, or are there other considerations?
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes Год назад
I personally just hate the whisk attachment and only use it for something like whipping egg whites. The paddle gets the job done and is easier to clean. And the whisk may actually beat too much air into it.

Hey so in the earlier tutorials you add 3/4 cup of shortening and in newer vids I believe you add a 1/2 cup shortening. Any reason for the change?
@KarolynsKakes
@KarolynsKakes 2 года назад
Yup! I mentioned it in a recent video (can’t remember which one) The shortening helps stabilize the icing. I find that in the cooler months, I can use less shortening and still have the same result. When it is warmer out and icing tends to melt, I like to use a little more shortening because the shortening melts at a higher temperature and makes the icing more stable. Just a personal preference though!

Someone just told me that Walmart has shortening that is high ratio. I haven't tried it yet, but I am going to! She said it's the shortening labeled "shortening" and not the one labeled "vegetable shortening". It will be interesting to see if it's the same! I get Sweetex shortening from a local restaurant store. It's on Amazon (linked in the description), but they only sell 50 pound blocks of it. I have seen smaller portions on etsy, but it is way overpriced!

Using salted butter helps cut the sweetness. Also you can reduce the powdered sugar by 1 cup. If you reduce the sugar, you won’t have to add as much liquid.

You can absolutely add chopped fruit to the filling if you prefer! Just make sure you keep the cake in the refrigerator so the fruit doesn't spoil. And I've never used Bavarian cream, but I like the Henry and Henry brand and they do have that flavor: amzn.to/468HHPt
