TOOLS & EQUIPMENT USED IN THIS TUTORIAL:
Kitchen Aid 7 Qt. Standing Mixer: amzn.to/3gV89SN
Kitchen Aid Rubber Spatula (comes in a set of 2): amzn.to/2Ga182b
ICING TECHNIQUE TUTORIALS: The icings in this tutorial are what I use combined with my icing techniques to achieve super sharp edges and straight sides. Please check out my playlist that includes ALL of my icing techniques and other helpful tutorials: • CAKING ESSENTIALS: My ...
After some experimenting and a bit of tweaking, I've finally got down what I consider to be the PERFECT icing consistencies for achieving super sharp edges and straight sides! In this tutorial I show you exactly how I arrive to these GREAT consistencies. As the tutorial shows, I make 2 different "types" of icings:
1). soft icing = for crumb coating and filling
2). hard icing = for damming and the outer layer of icing
Following are the amounts of ingredients I USE to achieve my icing consistencies. Remember, you can change how hard or how soft YOU NEED your icing to be by controlling how much milk you add. It will of course depend on the weather, temp, and the climate you live in. This can also change throughout the year.
These amounts are for a FULL BATCH of icing (can be easily halved):
Soft Icing:
1 cup high fat ratio shortening (NOT veg. shortening)
1 cup butter
2 tbsp meringue powder
2 tsp clear vanilla extract
8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
9 tbsp milk (regular or 2% work great)
Hard Icing:
2 cups high fat ratio shortening
2 tbsp meringue powder
2 tsp clear vanilla extract
8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar
10 tbsp milk (regular or 2% work great)
Tips:
*For best results, make icing right before you need to ice your cakes. That way, the consistency will be the same when you're icing your cake as when you "tested" it out. Using it fresh and right away has worked out GREAT for us!
*One full batch of soft is the perfect amount for filling and crumb coating a two tier cake consisting of 8" and 6" cake tiers.
*A double batch of hard icing is the perfect amount for damming and icing a two tier cake consisting of 8" and 6" cake tiers.
*Batches can be easily halved, doubled, even tripled. We've managed to fit and make to perfection a triple batch of icing in our 7 QT mixer.

@rosemaryvillaquiran6797 Год назад

Hi Laura and Arnie. I'm the owner of Azucar- Baked goods, just started my home baking business in 2020. You are one of the few bakers I follow and enjoy your videos/ Tutorials. I had to let you know the outcome for me of all of your efforts to provide everyone with this great tutorial for an outstanding butter cream recipie. I'm not a butter cream baker, my preference is the light fresh whip icing. On the insistent of one of my clients, I went on a a journey of finding the absolute best buttercream recipe to use. One that wasn't cloyingly sweet and actually allowed the taste of flavors to shine through! I looked at your tutorial a few times, and finally ran a test batch, following your instructions closely. I got to say it was delicious! For anyone who is following you and uses your recipe I offer this advice. Make it fresh as you use it for the best outcome. Ernie, you have a trained eye, it took me a bit to be able to say: ok, its at the right consistency, and not grainy. I used a combination of extract to obtain a unique flavor, and that worked well, so experiment with flavors. Last but not least, Do not let it sit, found this impacts on the buttercreams ability to maintain a smooth consistency. Your recipie is the only one I will use for the cranky clients who insist on butter cream, THANK YOU! keep it coming, wishing you much success.

I made them both yesterday for the first time finally after years of seeing this. The hard icing after I finished I thought was airy for a second it spreaded it was smooth no bubbles like in the video I was like omg this is amazing. I used a lot recipes tbh Edna's is the best and kudos to Laura and Arnie for adaptation to the hard icing. Now I finally tried it.

I have tried SO many different icing recipes looking for the perfect one. I have finally found it, thanks to you!! I've tweaked it a bit. added some different flavorings such as almond emulsion and alan tatreaux's (sp?) bridal blend. It is amazing! I can't believe such a simple recipe was the way to go. I didn't have to stand on my head for this one at all! I thank you two so much for your amazing turorials! You just don't realize what a God send you, and others like you, are to those of us just starting out! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with the rest of us!!!

@mistywatsonsears797 8 лет назад

so.. with the second batch I didn't listen to you. I went and bought the expensive hi-ratio shortening. big mistake! It was greasy. Tasted great, but way greasy. I will definitely stick to your suggestion. I mixed up the extracts a bit and added 1 tsp of vanilla, 1/2 tsp of almond emulsion and a scant 1/2 tsp of bakers mystery. OMG, it tastes exactly like the wilton decorators icing! My kids say it's even better! I'm just putting that out there so nobody else makes the mistake of buying the expensive stuff when it's really not needed.

@krazykoolcakes 8 лет назад

That's so awesome Misty! I'm glad that by just experimenting you've arrived to your perfect icing! :)

Very Interesting. I recently loss my husband 2 YEARS AGO, and after the loss, I stop everything. Now I am trying to get back into baking, it's actually therapy for me; because it bring back so many beautiful memory that we share in the Kitchen. He use to taste all of my icings and tell me if they were too sweet or not sweet enough. Seeing your husband in the kitchen with you, reminded me of my Rufus. I miss him so much; we did everything TOGETHER. Thank you and your husband for doing this video (TOGETHER), just like Rufus and I would have done. I can't wait to try your recipe and my husband would be very proud of me.

@krazykoolcakes 6 лет назад

You're VERY welcome Brunett! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. My heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry to hear Rufus is not by your side anymore. This life is fleeting and the bible calls it nothing but a "vapor". It's hard and it sucks not to be with the one we love but you'll be with him again for all eternity. If he gave his life to Christ before he passed away and you have to, you'll see him again. And the time you spent without each other will seem as if nothing. Get back to baking, have all your memories and enjoy them, and make NEW memories in the life that God wants you to have. You have a purpose and God is STILL doing a great work in you and through you! Enjoy the rest of your life and I look forward to hearing from you again! God bless you! :)

You are so right about making this right before you need it, I had made icing and froze it because I knew I would be busy, when I took it out of the freezer, it didn't look right after it thawed.

@KathrynRoberts60 6 лет назад

woahdudette the FDA has made manufacturers REMOVE the "Trans-fats" so all you will find is "Vegetable" shortning. The best recipes now require More added FAT, weather it be from Butter, full fat milk, or both. Baking is much more of a challenge without "Trans-fats"

I just saw a tutorial about doing mirror cakes, and I know the cakes have to have a great buttercream base before the mirror glaze can be applied. These sound like great recipes to start with, but now I need to find meringue and also that animal-based shortening (we only have Crisco in the pantry right now.)

Hey dolls I used your recipe twice now for some cupcakes that I wanted to make sure the icing didn't slide it was wonderful I was wondering can you Ice a cake with the soft or should it be used for filling only ?

@krazykoolcakes 7 лет назад

Hi! We use the soft icing to crumb coat and fill only. You CAN use it to ice the outside as well (but we don't). We like a stiffer stronger consistency which is why we use the thicker icing for the outside, but if you want to try the softer icing, just add less milk so it's not so viscous. :) Glad you liked the icing! We love it! :)

You're very welcome! Yes, it would be fine. Although the best consistency is to use immediately after making. If you absolutely have to refrigerate it, be sure to take it out of the fridge with plenty of time to let it come to room temp before rewhipping. You may need to add more milk to get it back to the perfect consistency. Hope that helps and thanks for watching! :)

@iLFeLLo 7 лет назад

Two questions. Will it come out super sweet? Will the consistency change when you add color?

@krazykoolcakes 2 года назад

Hi! That would all depend on what you define as "super sweet'. I personally LOVE it and is the perfect sweetness for me. I've never had any customers or family complain about it being "too sweet". You'd have to make it and just try it for yourself to decide. The consistency does change when you add gel food coloring which is why I always recommend that when you're making the icing that you stop adding milk before you get it to the perfect consistency you want. Add your color, and then once you get the color you want, if the icing is still not the consistency you want, then you can add more milk. Hope that makes sense and hope it helps. Thank you for watching! :)

@picantesworld7723 8 лет назад

Hi Laura, I just wanted to mention about the GV Walmart Brand shortening. It's not a hi fat ratio shortening. It is a step up from regular vegetable shortening, which is better than regular shortening as you had mentioned. It does contain trans fat, as high ratio shortening does not. Normal high ratio shortening brands like CK and Sweetex has more emulsifiers in order to cream liquid and air. Personally I have not tried GV shortening, but since you and your husband has been using this and swears by it, then I will try it myself :) I'm a Criso using boy in my buttercream :) Oh and btw awesome video :) God Bless

@krazykoolcakes 8 лет назад

+picantesworld77 Hi There! Glad you liked the video! Thank you! :) I always recommend NOT using Crisco in buttercream. Not if you want to achieve really smooth sides and sharp edges. In reference to the GV shortening, it actually IS a "high fat ratio shortening". It is a more "solid" shortening and we prefer it because it DOESN'T have as many emulsifiers as Sweetex or CK shortening. Emulsifiers as you know increase plasticity and with our types of custom cakes, that is exactly what we're trying to avoid. Not knocking CK and Sweetex. I've used them as well and they work well to a point, but the GV brand actually works better. At least for us it does. I know you said you haven't tried it so I'd encourage you to give it a go. God bless you too! :)

Hi, I love this video. Its so thorough and easy to follow. I would like to know tho what is the purpose of the meringue powder in the recipe? Does it just add fluffiness/creaminess? Thank you!

@krazykoolcakes 4 года назад

Hi Edward! Thank you so much. We appreciate the great feedback on this video. The meringue powder makes the icing more firm so that it holds its shape well. This is great if you want to be able to ice your cakes with straight sides and sharp edges, as well as cover with fondant. I hope that helps. Thank you for watching! :)

A million thanks for this awesome tutorial! I have struggled at finding the perfect consistency without the taste being sacrificed. Love that it is so smooth and creamy.I live in a more humid climate so only used about 7 tbsp of milk. It pipes beautifully and my husband said it is truly the best he has ever had , I agree. As many of viewers, I love viewing you and your husband as a team in these tutorials . A million thanks from my family to yours😊🌈

Ann Gayle I became little miss betty crocker! I keep baking and baking and giving and giving! If you are a beginner like me for the russian tips...practice makes perfection. At first I thought...who am I Kidding. but searched more videos on them and this frosting works best for them and what works best is lightly frosting cupcakes so the russian tip designs have something to stick to. - Happy Baking!

@krazykoolcakes 2 года назад

Hi Giang! Thank you for your question. I believe you are referring to a white can? I don't think we used a little box in any of this tutorial. If so, you are asking about the meringue powder. You can find the entire recipe and all of the ingredients used in these buttercreams in the description box below the video. Thank you for watching! :)

Thanks for this video. Which consistency do I use for piping borders, stars and roses? Can I just use the soft icing to crumb coat and also. ice the cake instead of using the hard icing.

@krazykoolcakes 4 года назад

You're very welcome Janet! Thank you so much for watching. :) We use the soft consistency icing (half butter/half shortening recipe) for piping cupcake swirls, rosettes, waves, etc. Yes, you definitely should use the soft consistency for crumb coating your cake. I recommend the hard consistency for the final coat of icing IF you want it to hold its shape. I hope that helps and thanks again for watching our video. God bless! :)

That looks delicious to me, but now I need to find a recipe that does NoT have 8 cups of powdered sugar. Everyone I have talked to tell me they want something that's between a whipped frosting and a buttercream bc regular buttercream is just way too sweet!!! 😬💜🎂

@krazykoolcakes 4 года назад

Thank you so much! That's very kind of you. :) That's pretty much us all day every day. LOL. I would recommend you try looking for either an Italian Meringue or a Swiss Meringue recipe. Those aren't as sweet. Hope that helps. :)
