Buttercream Masterclass: How to make Perfect Buttercream Icing | Cupcake Jemma

[@kikinovalova2353]

*150 g squeezable unsalted butter* - Beat for 5 minutes *340 g powder sugar* - Sort out through sieve - Add 1/2 of sugar to butter - Add second half of sugar when the mixture is nice, smooth, pale and whippy (cca 3-5 minutes) - Mix another 3-5 minutes (preferably 5) - Mix *1/4 tsp of vanilla extract* with *3 or 4 tbsp of whole milk* - Add just as much vanilla milk to your mixture as you need - With the vanilla milk add any flavours and/or colors you'd like - Speed the mixer up and beat for 3 or 4 minutes, just so the mixture connects well with the vanilla milk (and flavours and colors) - After a few minutes scrape the sides and check consistency, if need, add milk, continue mixing

(I'm in the US) I went to a specialty European market for reasons totally unrelated to baking and I found that same brand of French butter! Finally, I can make similar buttercream to yours :) Wish I could have found it earlier lol I followed this recipe for buttercream for a cake I made last month, but my buttercream came out with a bunch of air-pockets. After watching the video again now, Jemma says "regardless of how much icing I'm making, I always add [the sugar] in 2 stages". I added the sugar in 3-4 stages and whipped 3 minutes in between each stage. Basically I added too much air which caused those air-pockets. Lesson learned! Hope this helps somebody else.

paprika check your icing sugar, if it contains tricalcium phosphate it‘s like sand. Don’t melt your butter too much, runny butter causes runny buttercream.

[@annanichole4939]

I'm in an America, and the particular state I'm in is extreamly humid.....All the time. This turned out PERFECT with just 2 1/2tbsp of milk and 1tsp of vanilla

[@alicecarver9229]

Bit of help for everybody who has difficulty finding top quality ingredients. My go to place is actually Lidl! (UK based info or anywhere which has Lidl, apologies) Lidl British Unsalted butter is basically British Lescure - perfect for baking. It has an 82% fat content, like Lescure and it is creamy soft and tastes much butter than Sainsbury's or ASDA's and it's only 95p per 250g block. Icing sugar, Tate and Lyle uses 'Maize Starch' but it's dry, lumpy and when supermarkets finally get it off of their shelves it's old and crusty. Lidl icing sugar also uses 'Maize Starch' and it is softer, smoother and less dry and crusty and it is only 65p for a 500g box. Only buy Tate and Lyle if it's a commercial purchase because it is most likely to be fresher brought that way. Obviously milk is milk just make sure it's whole, I'm not going to tell you where to buy your milk. Lidl sell vanilla pods for less than £2 I believe or I use vanilla bean paste which I don't buy from Lidl. Vanilla is the only expensive ingredient really, extract and paste both ranging between £4-8 if it is a good quality kind. I hope this helps some of your buttercream nightmares.

[@nihongomastercom]

Some hints for those struggling with the metric measurements. Grams is a measurement of weight. Cups is a measurement of volume. So if you do a direct conversion, you'll wind up with too much sugar, because sugar weighs more! There are electronic food scales that are super cheap and handy that can work with ounces as well as grams. I have an OXO Good Grips stainless steel food scale and it can measure grams. Handy if you're looking at international recipes. Now, I've been struggling with cupcakes that sunk in the middle as well as perhaps felt a bit too oily. The things I'll try is not use an unsalted butter with such a high butterfat content. I tend to use french butter with high milkfat content and I think that's contributing to some of it (but man, it tastes so good). Unsalted butter in London, she's going to find butter that's a minimum of 80% milkfat Another thing to point out for those dealing with sunken cupcakes. An metric teaspoon is not the same as a US teaspoon. Egadzooks! 1 Imperial/British teaspoon is equal to just about 1.2 us teaspoon. Which means if you put in 1 teaspoon of baking soda, you didn't put in enough. And we all know baking is really about exact measurements when it comes to getting your goods to rise. So 1/4 teaspoon that Jemma says may very well be too little, if you're using a US teaspoon. So how the heck do you measure .30 of a us teaspoon aka, 3/10th? I'm going to "mound" my teaspoon with extra baking soda and see if that helps as well. First things first, I'm going to go try a slightly more amount of baking soda to try and reach that imperial teaspoon and see if that helps.

[@vegasdaemon]

By the way, despite all these changes, my cupcakes sunk. I realized my oven was going out and wasn't regulating temperature correctly. Only way to find this out is to put in an oven thermometer and keep it at a certain temperature and see if it can regular that temperature or if it fluctuates. My old oven fluctuated really badly causing the sunken cupcakes. My answer to this? Buy a new oven! Most expensive vanilla cupcake recipe ever. But way worth it.

My buttercream is fluffy, smooth, and just yummy :) I followed the directions to the "T" I used Land O Lakes butter not sure how good it is but I mean I guess it does the job. I also used a "hand" mixer. Super sadly it does not have the Wisk or paddle but it got the job done. I can only imagine with the proper mixer the results are top-notch! I also used generic Target powdered sugar which is what I had at the time along with the butter. I didn't see either of the ingredients mentioned in the video but it seems to work just the same. I'm practicing for my daughter's sweet 16, I'll be making her cake, fingers crossed. I haven't piped anything yet with it, a bit nervous but maybe later today.

What I usually do if I'm baking last minute or forget to leave my butter out is I lay it on top of my oven when I'm preheating it. It's not too hot so it gets that oily coating, but enough heat seeps through to soften it.

[@miriamrobarts]

You can also fill a drinking glass with hot water and let it sit a few minutes until the glass is hot. Dry it out and stand the butter on end, then place the glass over it (without it touching the butter). Leave it for a few minutes & the butter will soften without melting.

[@demtron]

Hi Jemma! I wondered if you can teach how to make the Korean icing that the Korean bakers use for piping flowers. They look like real flowers, glossy and translucent! I have been searching all over the internet and it is hard to find the recipe or someone who teach like you how to make it. I know that they do not use butter or egg. Their main ingredient is beans. Please if you know how to make the Korean icing make a video for us and do a demo how to make the flowers on the flower nail. Thank you so Jemma!

[@HajinClaire]

I know this is quite an old comment, but I know how people make the cream in korea. Usually people don't make whole thing themselves. They buy bean paste (angeum paste) and mix it with whipped cream in around 6:1 ratio. 6 is the angeum paste 1 is whipped cream, and they may use more or less cream to control the consistency (some don't use cream at all, it's a preference). As for the recipe of the paste, you may be able to find it online if you search up 'angeum paste'. If you can't and still willing to, I can always tell you!

Im making my daughter a unicorn cake gor her birthday tomorrow so have a lot of buttercream to make!

[@TomDaley]

OMG YUM! These look amazing! I am so going to try this!

I know this is totally irrelevant but I am in love with Jemma’s tiny spatula! Soo cute!

[@uladniets]

Thank you for your video! I just have two questions: 1- if I prepare the cupcakes or cake the day before, should I apply the frosting on that day or wait until I will serve them? 2- if I don't have a mixer, will I have the same result by mixing with a spoon?

[@noorulsaba3307]

Hey! Butter requires a lot of whipping and mixing air in to it and that just might not be possible with a spoon. So I’d suggest that don’t use a spoon or a hand whisk!

[@ambermiller1321]

You can use a spoon but it'll take alot of energy and time

[@anniebowyer3064]

Love your videos, I’m a novice at this. Can you give me an idea how much butter icing I’ll need for a 9” double sponge cake please? Filling and full icing? Thankyou Annie

[@swatigaur2394]

I like the way you list every single detail in your recipes, cause its really helpful Thanks

[@tiwongechirembo2210]

Should you ever wish to replace that mixer, I'll be super glad to have it😊. Thank you for the lesson!

[@nihaamtul7139]

How do u that

I am so happy that I know how to make exactly perfect butter cream! Thank you for the detail explanation! it's the best video to make butter cream EVER!

Great video. Clear and concise. Answers all my questions that I literally had to search multiple videos for.

[@crystalfrancis5977]

I think I could definitely learn from you, so patient and descriptive.

Made this earlier today, best buttercream I've ever made! Thank you Jemma!

Just made a triple batch and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much!

[@iqrasajid4370]

was it to sweet? just asking cuz the ratio is 1:2.25 lol

[@ntsikincomanzi3433]

Much more detailed than what I have been watching, I will try it and let you know, this has been one of my frustrations in my baking journey...😪

[@mishl7]

Thank you so much for this video! This recipe worked so well. I doubled all the quantities and managed to do buttercream icing for the base, in between layers and multi-coloured ombre as the final layer.

[@CuriosityMania]

Really? Thank you for such a helpful comment! I was wondering if i would need to double or triple the recipe. What size of cake did u have?

[@mishl7]

@@CuriosityMania I did a three layer cake using about 21cm size cake tins. The whole recipe for the cake was from How to Make the Most Amazing Chocolate Cake video by The Stay At Home Chef. Using Jemma's technique to add ingredients into the mixer gradually took awhile and I used every last bit of the icing. This was probably because I used it as both the base and the three colour ombre. But the end result was beautiful. The combo of Jemma's recipe and The Stay At Home Chef was a huge hit and people loved it! If you choose to do a three layer like I did, then I recommend you use something like a straw to hold the layers steady.

[@CuriosityMania]

@@mishl7 thank you so much for taking the time to reply. You have been a huge help honestly! Doubling or tripling would mean seriously a lot more ingredients, which in quarantine is a more pain than usual, so i was stressing a bit between doubling or tripling. You did an ombre, which i imagine would require a decent amount of icing to make the different color. I do like the other youtube channel u mentioned and i'll check that video right now and ill try the combination of these two. Thanks again and congrats on a great cake!

[@mishl7]

@@CuriosityMania I doubled the mixture and the three layer cake I made was quite high (sifted flour). I personally would never want to make triple the amount recommended in Jemma's video. In part because of the amount of time it takes to make sure you get it as fluffy and white as possible. Best of luck with your cake. The cake video is superb. I've used it twice following the instructions and it really is a moist without falling apart.

Thanks for the easy recipe and great tips! I used this to make spritz sandwich cookies. The cookies were flavored with just a little zest, then I made the base buttercream and split it in half. One half was lemon cardamom and the other was rose cardamom.

Hi Jemma thank you for your recipe.. I am using this as frosting on my cake and you know they all like it because it is not too very sweet just right to taste its sweetness.. Thank you and God bless..

[@mvelsomethinsomethin]

Love this! So informative, I will try it this coming week wish e luck! lol I know you mentioned about keeping it in a air tight container at room temperature for 5 days, can you store it in the fridge as well? If so, for how long please? Also, does it have to be that much icing sugar? Thank you

[@cantwait239]

Great video!! I have a question about decorating the cake with the buttercream. If I decorate the cake a day or two before the event could I keep it refrigerated until the event? Or does that ruin the consistency of the buttercream ?

[@claire8126]

Lauren Aronov it should be fine if you keep it refrigerated

[@rebecca589]

This is literally the very best buttercream ever! This will make people who don’t like buttercream, actually love it!

[@mariaspagnola1915]

Thank you so much for the buttercream tips! Mixing it longer made a world of difference in consistency and taste! Love your videos. You’re fantastic!!!

[@laurenagte532]

How can it stay at room temperature for 5 days after you make it when there is milk In it? Looks amazing though and excited to try it.

[@nickyhopkins852]

Sugar can act as a preservative to inhibit microbial activity, and there's a fair bit in this recipe so that's probably why :)

[@barbgrainger8076]

Thank you so much for this video! I've never been able to make a decent buttercream that tastes as good as I imagine in my head. Now I realize that I'm just not beating the butter enough. I'm so excited to try what I learned here today. Also, thank you for all the tips you've given us. I'm off to see more of your videos and subscribe!

I used to have split buttercream all the time. Tried this technique today and it was by far the best I have ever produced. Thanks!! :) I noticed, though, that you used quite a thick vanilla extract? Could you tell use what brand that was - was it vanilla bean paste?
