The Perfect Buttercream Frosting Recipe - Updated Tips and Tricks

[@CakesbyLynz]

I hope you enjoyed the video and there are some tips that you find useful when making your own buttercream. If you're looking for my vanilla cupcake recipe you can find it here kzbin.info/www/bejne/paXMl6aBgNqngtk

[@oneitalia2312]

Also: For the confectioner's sugar - sift then measure? Or, measure then sift? Also, try and purchase clear vanilla so the color of the ordinary vanilla won't discolor your buttercream.

This was the best buttercream icing ever. Thank you!

[@amandabyott5103]

I’m from the UK. I don’t like buttercream myself, but made cupcakes for my granddaughters 18th, and made this buttercream, well I now love buttercream, even though I say so myself, it was the best buttercream I’d ever tasted, stayed soft but kept its shape. Wow !!!! 😍

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Amanda, That is amazing and makes me so happy. I am so pleased you loved the recipe and it has changed how you feel about working with buttercream. Also happy 18th birthday to your granddaughter 🥰 x

[@jennd9091]

Every youtube video claims to have the best buttercream ever and I like this channel the best because you get straight to the point and tell us exactly what to do. So I tried this tonight and, (having made buttercream for 25 years and being complimented on my own) I can safely say that this one absolutely knocked me OFF MY FEET!! OMGGGGG!!! I am RAVING about this Thank you so much for sharing. This really REALLY is perfect.

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi, Thank you so much for your comment. This really has made my day. I am so glad you like the buttercream and I hope everyone you share it with likes it too. Thank you so much x x

Literally THE best tutorial I've ever seen that explains everything in simple form!

[@SoniaRegina-he9mf]

Pena quem não falara linguagem dela fica sem saber quantidades, ela falar bem e parece sem enrolação 👍

[@Kay_B786]

Tried this for the first time today and it was lovely. Thank you for all the hits and tips as you went along. Just FYI to any other beginners, I reduced the icing sugar quantity (300g instead of 340g) just to make it slightly less sweet. I also used stork from a tub instead of butter and had no issues. Thank you again 💗

[@damzy7492]

Can I use a hand mixer with whisk. I want to try this out but afraid it won’t hold on the cake.

[@sunnygokuk2622]

@@damzy7492 ye u can u just have to mix it for the same amount of time as she said but it wont make a difference.

[@MicheleAngela]

This recipe is good for beginners. I must say I started from american buttercream up until now. 👍 I use it on my cakes and cupcakes. I prefer american buttercream than meringue because, it will last for 2 weeks or 1 month inside the freezer.

[@annied1113]

Amazing recipe! If you're looking for a trick to make your buttercream look more white, a way to do this is to use an electric whisk and whisk the butter before you mix it.

[@sheilarobertson9717]

Yes, 7 mins is not too long.

[@ScouserGirl89]

my friend's mum (who worked in a bakery) told me when i was doing food tech in school that when using food colouring and buttercream was to take out a small bit of the buttercream mixture and add the food colouring to that then add the coloured buttercream into the rest of the buttercream and it will blend better. it's a tip that i do everytime

[@taybamuhammad4617]

To be honest she’s the best teacher I love you dear keep it up my love 😍

[@angiegarza4145]

About the butter, and using the sticks of butter instead of the tubs. This explains SO much, I just made my husband a birthday cake yesterday, and made buttercream for the first time. I used a tub, because that's all we had, but it wouldn't firm up at all. Thank you for such a well explained video!!

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Angie, you are so welcome. It is surprising the difference the type of butter you use can make to your buttercream, so I am so pleased that this helped explain it.

[@shamsiahaque9488]

You have pinpointed all the little details that I needed to know. Thank you very much.

[@CakesbyLynz]

I'm so happy to hear that and I'm so glad it was helpful!

[@jenniferforrest2333]

I would just like to thank you for your video and for sharing your recipe. I have tried many times over the years to make buttercream especially for my childrens birthday cakes and failed but the main thing was they loved their cakes. I have used this recipe for my daughters sweet sixtheen this weekend and it is perfect🥰

[@CakesbyLynz]

Hi Jennifer, It is so lovely to get your message. I am so pleased you enjoyed the buttercream recipe. Also happy 16th birthday to your daughter xx

[@sarahkathryn1402]

I use soya butter which is so firm but leaves a white finish! Would recommend

[@theresamalone9078]

How does the soya butter taste in comparison to regular butter? Thanks

[@chelseysmith6805]

We will try it it I am eight years old and I go to 4H and I’m trying this recipe for my cake👍🏻

[@debjudisch5548]

Another great video, Lynz! I really needed this one. I have had a constant struggle with my buttercream being so dry it will not pipe well or it will not hold its shape! So, thank you...I am going to do a good long practice run tonight. One last thing.. please don't ever change the way you share your knowledge with us! I just love that you do not rush and you explain the how's and why's of everything you do. I always learn something from you. God bless...

It seems perfect, i am new to baking but I have always used elmlea whip double cream for icing. But never get stiff consistency as your buttercream.

[@rachelh9299]

Thank you so much for the video! I will say I have learned of you beat the butter for a few minutes before adding the sugar it turns lighter and fluffy then add in sugar it will make it lighter

[@princessgsm5240]

Wow...that tip about bar butter vs tub butter..was just what I wanted to learn. Things make sense now. I appreciate the updated video.

[@l.m.t.l]

Only learnt this after I bought tub butter 😞😔😩😩😩

[@kateoc8]

Real butter is only found in blocks. Not marge Not spread Not spreadable butter- in tubs and blended(I.e. diluted) with oil and/or water Not Stork Not anything else. It's called just "butter". And it's in a block. Or "stick" as the yanks say .

[@tonyayoung5462]

I had to do a party for 100 guests (4 dozen cupcakes and 4 doz candy coated Popcorn) yesterday and this recipe was a life saver! It was so good and everyone loved it!😊 My first cupcakes didn't turn out and had to make a whole batch over again at the last minute and this was the best recipe!!

[@liveandletlive7152]

I live in a very hot country and I keep my butter in the fridge. Most of the time I feel my buttercream just ends up so soft so I always use a little bit of a firmer margarine,the block kind, and this helps so much. I ensure the butter is not overpowered by the margarine.

When you sieve your icing sugar try pushing it round with a balloon whisk instead of a spoon, goes through much quicker and less sugar dust.

I agree totally about salted butter. If it’s already salted you never get granules of salt. If you try to add a bit of salt to a recipe that uses unsalted butter you get salt granules that are noticeable.
