4 Minute Buttercream Frosting

[@charm4836]

Can I just say thank you so much, you've saved me from tearing my hair out. I've been making buttercream cakes for years but recently I've become more and more frustrated at the little air pockets appearing all over my cake when I'm scraping. Today I made it using your method and et voila it spread smoothly onto my cake with minimal scrapes and I'm just in shock I could cry. Thank you once again xx

[@BritishGirlBakes]

That's fantastic to hear!!

[@Nkiruedema]

This recipe is now my go to. Love it. Though I found if you beat it for longer (about 30minutes after all added ingredients) it gets smoother and more spreadable

[@ChulhaChauka]

Wow! This channel is what I've been looking for. I'm a self taught baker & you tell us things in a perfect way so that we become pro. Thank you so much ♥. Can you please show some square cake decorating ideas?

[@takwasenni7921]

You are a professional and you deserve millions of followers !!

Your bloopers are adorable! 😂

[@BritishGirlBakes]

haha! Thanks!

[@yummilicious_gmb670]

I just love you. Thanks for letting us know that it is okay to use salted butter when making butter cream.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

You're welcome!

[@nikitasutton5437]

Okay! Lemmee tell y'all!! This Buttercream is ev-va-re-thang!!! This is the first time I was able to get a super smooth ABC on a cake! I've only had success with SMBC---which I love---but some customers prefer ABC and I needed to perfect this. Thank you!!!!

[@bugjellybean2]

I new to cake baking and you are so thorough and helpful!

[@deenizekunder3991]

Really amazed with the simple buttercream recipe. Do you do whipped cream cakes too could you please share recipe of that too. As the cream sometimes melts.

[@lillymr1615]

thanks for the great recipe .. I have seen many videos to refresh up , im a chef that loves too try new recipies..I will use this one inn my daughter cake......yum that strawberry one

[@iamrush]

I'm soooo happy i found this channel!! I live in Jamaica and it's very hot so my buttercream is not so perfect but this video explained things so clearly ! Thank you !

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm so happy you like it! I used to have a bakery in Costa Rica and it was hot there too, so i used half butter and half vegetable shortening so that the frosting would hold its shape and not melt on my cakes and cupcakes.... maybe that would work for you too?

[@khibp887]

But half butter half crisco

[@zelenebahig8531]

Loved that you shared the flubs as well!

[@moniquegonzalez9276]

Yes you can! It's a bit of a workout for your arm but will work :) And thank you!

[@ajinpnw6221]

Your adorable Love the Bloopers~ Thanks for the smile and your recipe!

[@Proudmuslimah123]

It blows my mind that everyone over mixes their butter on a medium high speed for way too long because you end up with air bubbles, this makes so much more sense to me!!

[@kristicalderon9455]

[@artemisk6297]

Τhe problem is that the icing sugar sometimes doesn't melt and you can feel it between your fingers.Does it matter, or gradually it will melt? Thank you so much. You are great by the way and you explain everything so nicely.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

Hmmm it doesn't really melt, it just gets absorbed into the butter as you mix it. it's a very fine powder - look for "10x" on the packet which means it's been sifted 10 times so it's really really fine. If your butter is at room temperature, after you add the milk or cream you shouldn't have any lumps or graininess but if you do, try another brand of icing sugar

Your mixer is just amazing, and your videos all so helpful 😍🤩

[@ayekantspeylgud]

I have always had an issue with frosting! I almost never can tell when it is perfectly smooth versus too dry or too wet. I also don't know what causes it to separate. I also don't know if you are supposed to be able to pipe thin lines with buttercream or if those size tips are meant to be used with royal icing? Every time I pipe it seems like I have to use an exorbitant amount of pressure OR it's too soft. But I can never eyeball the consistency in the bowl - so I don't figure it out until I'm already piping! The "air pockets" tip is fantastic!!! Also, so is your voice. I could just about doze off listening to you say "buttercream".

[@BritishGirlBakes]

I'm not sure which piping tips you have but you should be able to pipe thin lines with buttercream - if the lines are breaking apart as you pipe, try adding some milk to make it a bit less stiff.

[@ayekantspeylgud]

British Girl Bakes thanks so much!! What causes it to separate or what would save it?

[@dinydgeraldine3254]

Wow! U are so amazing girl... Thanks for this explanations!

[@TriviRocks]

I'd be grateful if you could teach us other kinds of quick-and-easy frostings. In my country people don't like buttercream. The weather is humid and often hot, so I'm in big trouble when decorating!

I love the blooper reel! I'm going to try this Thank you!

[@hemalatharoger1167]

[@chanekshgaming5611]

Thank u for a lovely recipe. Can I make buttercream with half n half ratio with whipped cream to cut down little sugar. Thank u.

[@BritishGirlBakes]

That's a great idea but since buttercream is stiffer I think it would deflate the whipped cream, destabilizing it. You can cut down on sugar a bit by adding less and then not adding the milk/cream at the end
