I have made this a couple times now, and I can honestly say that this is the best frosting out there.

[@curreypanda6640]

How did it go????

[@ShellyCline]

I made frosting using this exact techique a couple days ago. It was the smoothest (and most pipeable) frosting I have ever made. It piped the prettiest rosettes and swirls on my cupcakes I've ever had. And it was delicious!!! I did an extra half teaspoon of vanilla but that was just my preference. Thanks so much for this awesome technique. 😍

[@DanceMomsCentral]

I don't like to bake but love watching these tutorials.

[@2curiousdanielle306]

I love how you make it easy for foreigners by converting the measurements.

[@PovItalianCooking]

I wanted to make a cake for my wife. I'm a self-taught home cook who has never made more than a standard sheet cake with store bought icing. So, I've been reading different buttercream recipes and watching different videos. Your video was by far the best one I found for buttercream icing. The icing turned out perfect and the cake looks pretty good for someone who has little to no artistic ability such as myself. I want to thank you for your video! I also have a cooking channel intended for home cooks and also want to say that your videos are very well done, high quality and very well edited. Thank you!

[@marshabisson3825]

Amazing frosting... I have been making cakes/cupcakes for years and this is by far the best frosting I have ever made. So easy to pipe.. This one is a keeper!

[@nicolechappers25]

hahaha my thoughts exactly!

[@tammertx]

For those who doesn't like this kind of American buttercream because it's too heavy and sweet, then I would definitely recommend making a meringue based buttercream such as Swiss and Italian buttercream. Because of the egg whites, they're very smooth, light, silky, not too sweet, and pipe a lot nicer than American buttercream. Likewise, if you want an even richer flavor, I would recommend making French buttercream which has egg yolks.

[@karenknopick45]

Would you share your recipe for the meringue buttercream icing? American buttercream is way to sweet!

[@1alayzzia]

@@karenknopick45 there are great recipes on KZbin. Italian is harder to do than Swiss. Might want to start with the Swiss.

[@debjudisch5548]

@@karenknopick45 Add a bit of salt to cut the sweetness! You could also make a cream cheese frosting or a stabilized whipped cream frosting. These frostings that have to be cooked to a certain temp, etc. are way too much work for me!! But I don't get it when people say this...frosting is SUPPOSED to be sweet!

[@debjudisch5548]

And they are a LOT of work and careful attention! You can adjust American buttercream as far as sweetness.

[@apollinemalik5383]

Meringue buttercreams stink of eggs!

[@rudyscholl5578]

I got so excited when I saw this because when I first found this page I watched the perfectly pipe-able buttercream frosting and I had to convert all the measuring (for US) and over the years I learned the recipe and now I can recite everything by heart. I make it all the time and now everyone knows me for it.

[@amyb5146]

If you run the mixer on its lowest setting for a few minutes when it’s done, it will smooth the buttercream out and eliminate larger bubbles, making it even better! Enjoy! ❤️

[@angelasteinmetz2243]

I made this tonight and let me tell you its way better than the Martha Stewart recipe I've been using. So simple... tastes amazing. Who knew that whipping was the key. Guess I've been under whipping my batches.

Hi! I would say, if it rocks the whole time you use it, somethings poss wrong with the motor? But if it's in the beginning then your butter is prob to cold & hard. I hope by now you have been able to fix the prob since Breville is a good brand. :)

can i lessen the sugar?i think 600g is waayy to sweet..what happened if i lessen the sugar?

[@FlutterbyTwinkle]

maybe about 1/2 to very very maximum one cup, but you may need to edit the recipe slightly for less butter. I reckon add the sugar to taste, and don't add any milk. it may taste a little buttery though. If it's not stiff enough but just sugary enough, try whipping it. of course, if it's too stiff, add a very small amount of milk. Hope this helps ^-^

[@sahmurabayu6165]

Thanks so much dear...😊

[@ashleenicole71]

[@mxy775]

If you want you can add a pinch of salt to lesson the sweetness

[@rotru1789]

I made this buttercream following the recipe and it was super sweet. So instead of using unsalted butter I used salted butter to cut the sweet a little. I also added vanilla and powdered sugar (icing sugar) to taste. Because I used a lot less powdered sugar I didn’t have to add any milk. It was perfect, piped beautifully, and didn’t melt.

The most disgusting icing I've ever tried is ironically the most popular: buttercream icing. Neither royal or buttercream is healthy, but I'll take royal icing any day over buttercream. Pisses me off everytime I walk into a bakery and all they have is cake coated in a giant stick of butter. Even had a baker tell me you can't decorate with royal icing. So making it look pretty is more important to you than taste. Signs and symptoms of an incompetent baker.

[@pharoon7890]

+Redbird Royal icing is only good for small details on cakes, you simply cannot achieve the bigger designs that you can with buttercream. There is also many different kinds of buttercream, not just American, that do not taste heavily of butter.
