[@germainendjomou1117]

Thank you very much for this video. is there anyway when possible to also do a video that how how you ice the cake? what if you decorate the cake the day before do you still leave the cake with the American buttercream outside overnight? what if it's too hot? is there anything you add on buttercream to stabilize it ? thank you for your feedback

[@OluchiImoh]

You're most welcome Germaine. Okay, I have other videos on how to ice from scratch. Here's the playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLhxO2UHFPk3gUZ0je-OrrnlXCj07rIgux For my Buttercream, yes, I do. Now, there are different recipes so it depends on the type you are using. For SMBC, you keep chilled/refrigerated. Stabilization would have to do with your recipe itself.

[@multi-house8656]

Can I cover my cake with thin fondant and now create textures on it (with cake Combs)with buttercream. Thank you for your kind reply.

[@OluchiImoh]

Based on your question, here are a few things I'd like you to note, firstly, it's advisable not to cover your cakes with thin fondant, talk more of a textured fondant cake, it would most likely tear. For the tool you intend to use, if you have seen that being used before and you are sure it'd work, that's fine. I haven't done or seen it used on fondant before. You can check my video on suggested tools you can use for texturing fondant here kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH2lp2lnodeUbK8. Hope these help? Cheers!

[@ndubuisisuccesschianugo1322]

Please can I use shortening and margarine together

[@OluchiImoh]

Yes, you can.

[@julianasam1921]

So what is the perfect merument for butter cream like using 500g of icing sugar the megerin will be how many grams

[@OluchiImoh]

Perfect? That term is relative. There are different buttercream recipes that work for different bakers in different climates that's why I say perfect is relative based on your question. However, the classic American buttercream recipe is 250g of icing to 500g icing sugar.

[@tebogosetlhoka6531]

Hie i would to ask mam... how do i reduce sweetness of buttercream

[@OluchiImoh]

Hello, to reduce sweetness, you can increase the fat content or reduce the icing, this means tweaking your recipe with either of these options to see what works best. Adding a dash of salt is another option. Alternatively, you can try other less sweeter types of buttercream frostings like SMBC and the rest.

[@olufunkeogunwole1683]

Nice videos ma'am! Please I have a question, if I want to use American butter for my butter cream, how many grams or kg will I use for 1kg of icing sugar?

[@OluchiImoh]

You're welcome!❤️ It's 500kg to 1kg. That's the basic or regular one.

[@olufunkeogunwole1683]

@@OluchiImoh you mean 500g right? Thank you for your response, ma'am.

[@aishabadmos1847]

Please I want to ask ma, is butter icing and American butter cream thesame thing?

[@OluchiImoh]

@@aishabadmos1847 Buttercream icing is a generic name for a type of frosting that's butter-based while American buttercream is a type of buttercream icing.

[@aishabadmos1847]

Ok maam I want to ask Is 500g butter to 1kg icing a very good recipe to get a very nice and not too runny or too stiff butter cream?

[@OluchiImoh]

@@aishabadmos1847 That's the basic buttercream recipe but you'd need to try it out and see if it works for you.

[@clarambachu3152]

What about using 450 g to mix 1kg

[@OluchiImoh]

Haven't tried this before but the Buttercream would be too stiff most likely.

[@melodyleo4323]

I made that mistake of putting the cake in the freezer😔
