Thanks so much! I want to help as many people as I can…. 💕

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I used this for the first time on a birthday cake for a friend and it was a huge hit! Easy to make and use. Will have to try the chocolate as well :)

[@AsiaCoffee]

Wait… there’s a chocolate version?! 😳

So informative and life saving for me, thank you so much!!! I have a full sheet cake this weekend to make for a client of mine and they want whipped icing!

[@AsiaCoffee]

A lot of people have been asking for whipped icing over the last few years. This one is pretty tasty! Best of luck on your sheet cake! 😉

[@amberfloyd370]

This is what Walmart uses as their whipped icing on cakes. Atleast that’s what I was told by them a handful of years ago. Walmart let me buy some butter cream from them but then we moved and the Walmart by my new house wouldn’t sell it to me 😢 I couldn’t make or find anything even close to their “whipped” icing. And I’ve looked for where to buy it. Idk, I love it! It’s so good! Me and my husband hate bUttercream icing it is not even close to the whipped icing(bEttercream) the whipped is so much better! Lighter, doesn’t melt, isn’t too sweet. Yum!

[@michaelavalek2649]

Love this! I used to work at coldstone creamery and this is all we used to decorate our cakes with and I’ve been looking for a recipe for it ever since!

[@AsiaCoffee]

I was pleasantly surprised by the taste; pretty good stuff! Thanks for watching 💕

[@fulluvjoy229]

The Bettercreme sounds just like what I'm looking for. Thank you!

[@AsiaCoffee]

Glad to help! Best of luck on your cake! 😉

[@nicolethomas3288]

I love this product. I use it to make the flavoured filling for my cakes. And I use it for my Icebox and Black Forrest Cakes. It works great in tropical environments. I get it pre mixed in a tub in Jamaica 🇯🇲.

[@aneishathomas6725]

Where in ja do you find it? I can only find the frozen one but i would like the tub. I’m on Ocho Rios.

[@tnh4235]

Loved your tutorial! I will definitely try that Bettercreme!! Thanks!!

[@AsiaCoffee]

I’m finding that a lot of people really like this icing/frosting. I was pleasantly surprised by the taste and consistency! Thanks for watching 💕

[@wyantanwyantan3478]

Can you use this as buttercream under fondant?

[@AsiaCoffee]

Great question! I have never tried this under fondant before (Bettercreme is quite soft and not as sturdy as actual buttercream), BUT that sounds like it would make a great video…. ☺️Let’s see if anyone who’s tried will comment in the meantime. Thanks for watching!

[@wendyreed1996]

Can you tint this icing with Wilton icing colors? Also, is it stiff enough to make roses? If you tint it, does the color bleed? Thank you. I enjoy your videos

[@AsiaCoffee]

Yes, you should be able to tint this icing with the Wilton gel colors. I explain ways that whipped icing can be colored in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z37Fi4FsZ89-n9U. This icing was quite soft. You could probably pipe roses however they may be stand up for long. You can experiment and try refrigerated a piped rose to see if chilling it would make it more stable. I don’t typically work with whipped icing. If you’re concerned about color bleed, I would recommend not using very dark or saturated colors. Best of luck and thanks for watching! 💕

[@dmeshdashing9679]

Can this be use for homemade ice cream?

[@AsiaCoffee]

To top ice cream: Sure! To make ice cream: I don’t know…. Let’s open it up for others to give their two cents!

[@livejoyfully98]

Nice tutorial. I was wondering where to find this bettercreme in the stores in the US. Which stores keep them? Thanks

[@AsiaCoffee]

I found it at Gordon Food Service (GFS). I’ve never seen it in any other store!

[@livejoyfully98]

@@AsiaCoffee thanks

[@Saynothing869]

I have a question I hope you can answer. Can you mix better cream with cream cheese icing and get a good consistency

[@AsiaCoffee]

Good question! I’ve never tried that, BUT I feel like it could negatively affect the consistency of the Bettercreme. If you’re aiming for the cream cheese taste, I would recommend adding some cream cheese flavoring instead. I believe Lorann makes one that you can buy from Michaels. I hope this helps!

[@Saynothing869]

@@AsiaCoffee ok thank you. So much

[@krisrtinkoss136]

I have a question, so I have this. Vanilla Bettercreme Have you ever made this into chocolate using cocoa powder if so, how much. I need it for this weekend thanks

[@AsiaCoffee]

Great question! I have never added cocoa powder to it to make it chocolate, but I will give you a tip. This icing is very soft and watery starting off. I would recommend adding real melted chocolate that’s been cooled to room temperature instead of the cocoa powder. I’ve added colored powdered to whipped icing in a previous video and the powder did not incorporate properly. I think you’ll get a better result if the chocolate you add is closer to consistency to the icing. Best of luck!

[@AsiaCoffee]

Piggy-backing on my previous comment: Watch how I melted and added the chocolate in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5KXqqBjmdGSrMksi=6CCOr9mbCqxWQEoO. 😉

[@krisrtinkoss136]

@@AsiaCoffee where I bought that from I’ve used it before but I’ve never added chocolate. My nephew who is turning 4 want it in chocolate. How much melted chocolate do you think I should use just regular milk chocolate chips? Do I need to heat up up any heavy, whipping cream then add the chocolate. some people say use a garni. The lady at the store where I bought it from. She said you’re the fourth person that asked if they could sell the chocolate. She said I’m going to contact my manager again. Thanks

[@AsiaCoffee]

@@krisrtinkoss136 I’m not sure what a “garni” is. You can melt down chocolate chips and use them if you don’t have chocolate bars. As for how much, I would start with melting down and adding about 1/2 a bag (or 6 oz). You’ll must likely need to add the entire bag, but it’s best to start with a small amount of chocolate (in this case) and add more melted chocolate “to taste”.

[@mrscampos3859]

Could this be colored to like a brown. Im going to attempt making my son his bday cake. I’m so lost because he doesn’t like butter cream, he only likes whip cream cake.

[@AsiaCoffee]

Yes, this frosting takes color very well! Be sure that you’re NOT using liquid food coloring; only gel paste or oil-based. Good luck on your sons cake! 💕

[@candicebaker2663]

Thank you! I might use this. If they sell it in N.y.

Can I melt chocolate and whip it in to make a choclate buttercream

It's a diary or non dairy product??

This icing contains a milk derivative, so I would consider it to contain dairy just to be on the safe side. Thanks for watching!

[@meilanijames9551]

I plan to use this for my daughter's 1st Birthday cake! How long do you recommend I make the cake before serving? Can I make it the night before and leave it in the fridge. Or should I make same day? Thanks!

You can totally make the cake the night before and refrigerate it up until about 30 minutes before it’s served. It’s pretty tasty! Happy Birthday to your little one… 🥳

No it does not. Good question; thanks for watching!

[@ritamc4688]

How can I make it thicker?

[@AsiaCoffee]

You could try whipping it for longer. I got the sense that if I followed the directions to the tee, the mix would whip up to the perfect consistency (which it did). There is troubleshooting info on the side of the carton. Make sure that you’ve kept the container at the temperatures indicated for the best results. Best of luck!

[@fauziahsaleh7490]

Hi, how to mix it with cream cheese?

[@AsiaCoffee]

Good question! I would NOT mix cream cheese directly into this icing. If you want cream cheese flavor without negatively impacting the thickness of the icing, try adding some Amoretti to it. It’s a concentrated flavor, so a little goes a long way. Thanks for watching!
