Buttercream Palette Knife Flower Practice

My previous videos focusing on palette knife flowers have been getting so much love I wanted to share one more! I think this version of my practice video is a bit slower paced and more clear than my previous video, so I hope it is helpful to everyone trying to learn and practice this technique. I too am learning and practicing as I go, and the more I experiment, the more I hope to be able to share with you all in the future.
*My recipe for buttercream that I like to use for this technique is an all egg white Italian Meringue buttercream:
180g large egg whites
200 g white granulated sugar
80g water
450g unsalted butter, room temperature
1 tsp extract or flavoring
Method: Heat the sugar and water to 118C while beginning to whip your egg whites. Stream in the sugar after it has reached 118C into the whites and whip on high until they have cooled from hot to warm and are fluffy. Turn the speed to medium and add in small amounts of butter at a time and finally the flavoring at the end.
Thank you so much for watching my pastry videos and for encouraging me to film and share more of what I do in my little kitchen!
If there is anything else you would like to see, please let me know in the comments below! And because I am constantly baking but only sometimes filming for KZbin, come find me on instagram @maddiebrehm for more glimpses into my kitchen 😉
I will see you next time for more videos in and out of my kitchen! I have some fun macaron themed adventures headed your way soon, so stay tuned for those!

Finally someone showed how to put buttercream ON the palette knife. Thanks 😊

[@MaddieBrehm]

I’m so happy you liked it!

[@Primeen407]

Thank you for this video. Most don't show how they load buttercream onto the palette knife. Yours really teaches those trying to learn how. I hope you can also include footage from the top (top view) while you are laying petals onto the surface in future videos. 🙏🏻

[@victoriasmith2965]

Exactly. That's what I wanted to see. How to get the buttercream on the knife

[@monimonica1715]

Ciao. Mi chiamo Monica e scrivo dall'Italia. Mi sto avvicinando a questa pratica di decorazione delle torte da qualche giorno, cercando un tutorial adatto...e ho trovato te! Sono autodidatta e mi sto impegnando a migliorare la mia tecnica e le mie ricette. Per questo mi iscrivo. Ti trovo molto precisa e dettagliata nella spiegazione dei passaggi, anche se non parlando bene inglese, non capisco molto bene e devo guardare attentamente i movimenti sul video. Mi piacciono molto le tue creazioni. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Nonaskitchen2023]

[@lorigoedken8149]

I watch and I subscribe! thank you for really showing how to do it.

[@MaddieBrehm]

Thank you so much!

[@jillphillips8117]

Your technique is awesome! The only suggestion I would have for the next time is to color the icing. It is hard to see on the video, especially on white foam. Other than that, great video with relaxing music.

[@TB20243]

She has another video with colored icing where she demonstrates this technique.

[@healthywithhope]

Thank you for the video! What are your favorite palette knives?

[@sundeestone]

Beautiful! Just a lil hard to see the white flower in the white block ... but this best tutorial I have seen on this type of decorating !

[@MaddieBrehm]

Sundee Bickler thank you for watching! I will try to improve the color contrast for next time :)

[@terelopez3636]

Absolutely love your demonstrations ,could you please show doing an actual cake,,, love your work

[@terelopez3636]

Maddie just wanted to ask what type of buttercream are you working with also, is it semi soft or very soft or more like a hard buttercream for texture wise

[@MaddieBrehm]

Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@amanyhafiz4095]

Thank you so much for the recipe..Can I use this at summer without any problem

[@MaddieBrehm]

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but these flowers are the easiest to create when you are working in a cool temperature room--if it is warm you might have a harder time. If you are meaning using my recipe, just please give credit when you use it if you are re-publishing my content :)

[@nadishbebel143]

Maddie Brehm this is my answer. Thanks for great tutorial ❤️

[@tamannagazi4421]

Thank you so much for details tutorial. I am practicing this technic too, but the problem I am facing is, my smbc become soft quickly. What should be the room temperature for doing this technic? Any tips how can I solve the problem? Thank you.

[@MaddieBrehm]

Thank you! Just put it in your fridge for a few minutes if it starts getting soft. I keep my kitchen between 66-68 F at all times, and usually I don’t have any issues with my buttercream becoming too soft!

[@mrsdrdee]

Love this!! Thank you for sharing! What buttercream do you use??

[@MaddieBrehm]

Thanks! The recipe is already in the description box 😉 😉

[@raniinnocent4262]

[@nadishbebel143]

Hi, what should be the ideal room temperature for working with butter cream?

[@MaddieBrehm]

[@risingstar8076]

Wawwww ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@MaddieBrehm]

Thanks for watching!

[@terelopez3636]

Love this tutorial, wishing though you would only speak and give more precise instructions thank you

[@lorigoedken8149]

Hi, I am trying this and my petals look bulky, not thin and fanned out like yours. Also, with buttercream made from egg whites, how long can it stay at room temperature?

[@MaddieBrehm]

Lori Goedken my first suggestion would be to spread your buttercream thinner, and take smaller portions up at a time with your palette knife. Most chefs will leave their buttercream out overnight or possibly two days if you live in a cool place with low humidity. Otherwise refrigerate it and pull it out a couple hours before you need it :)

[@lorigoedken8149]

@@MaddieBrehm thank you!

[@birjisaslam218]

It is beautiful but it will be more clearly to see if any of the butter cream or the foam is of different colour as both are white so it is difficult to see the details.

[@MaddieBrehm]

It’s an old video, and you can find many other palette knife videos on my channel if you are interested

[@sehernaveed]

Can it be Swiss Meringue?

[@MaddieBrehm]

Yep!

[@ursulamenezes7542]

Bonjour vous travaillez en chambre froide ?

[@seyhashop6752]

I don’t know where can I find palette knife 😭??

[@MaddieBrehm]

Seyha Shop you should be able to order them online, particularly from any specialty chef or pastry online shop! I bought mine in Korea but I’m sure even amazon would sell them
