Buttercream Basics: An Overview of the Top 5 Buttercream Methods
Once you’ve decided to start making your own cakes from scratch, it’s important to also add making your own homemade frosting to that list of new skills to master. Using buttercream that you’ve made from scratch is going to allow you so much more freedom when it comes to flavors and design. But before you can become a buttercream pro, there’s a few things you’ll need to know.
There are so, so many varieties of buttercream to choose from, but these are my top 5 favorites. We'll start with the most basic, American buttercream, and end up at the most advanced, Italian meringue buttercream. Pick the option that suits your skill level and flavor preference.

These are my most popular cookies, no question about it! Using browned butter adds toffee flavor notes to the cookie dough and a dash of cinnamon brings cozy vibes and a subtle bit of pizzazz to each bite.

    Hi, can I use black cocoa powder to get a darker brown frosting?

    • @bakesandblunders
      @bakesandblunders Месяц назад

      Hello! From my experience, that will just give you a gray brown shade. Use a dark cocoa powder and add a little bit more (about a tablespoon at a time) until you have the right shade, making sure to stop before the consistency becomes too thick. If you still don't have the color you want, you could add some melted chocolate or brown food coloring. I've also found that giving the buttercream a day or two to develop in the fridge will deepen the color.

    • @bakesandblunders
      @bakesandblunders Месяц назад

      In between the layers, the streusel will soften over time, but I never found it to be soggy. The longer it sits before serving, the softer it will become. For the best texture, I would fill, stack, and frost the cake the day of serving. But even if you did it the evening before, it should be fine.

      @bakesandblunders Месяц назад

      Thanks for watching! I don't use whipped cream frosting on cakes often, but I don't think this technique would work. It's essential that the frosting firm up in the fridge before removing the discs. Since whipped cream will never get that firm, I think it might just make a mess.

    Any tips and tricks for rewhipping after the buttercream has been refrigerated? When I rewhip it turns lighter due to hand mixer incorporating air😞 I'll pop it in the microwave for a little bit it gets dark but then it's too soft then I have to refrigerate to make it stiffer and rewhip and it turns light again 🥴 I keep going back and forth 😢

    • @bakesandblunders
      @bakesandblunders 4 месяца назад

      After chilling my buttercream, I just give it a decent beat with a spatula, not my mixer. This is enough to get the consistency nice and creamy and it doesn't incorporate a ton of air. Even if your buttercream does lighten a bit, I find that it always gets darker while I'm using it. The heat from my hand on the piping bag or the heat of my warm metal scraper deepens the color a bit more. Another option that I haven't tried out exactly is to use an offset spatula and a flat, smooth surface (like a silicone baking mat). Take a portion of buttercream and plop it on your work area. Then use the offset spatula to work it back and forth. Scrape it all together, then smooth it out again and repeat until you have the right consistency. This will remove air bubbles and get the frosting nice and spreadable. I haven't tried this exactly, but I do like to smear my buttercream along the side of my bowl for a similar effect.

    Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe! I've been practicing macarons lately, so I will try this one out soon. Quick question, I always thought that a Swiss meringue required cooking the egg whites and sugar over a double boiler. Is this a different method? Just curious! Thanks again!

    • @bakesandblunders
      @bakesandblunders 7 месяцев назад

      A Swiss meringue is egg whites + sugar over a double boiler. However, for macarons, you just want to melt/ dissolve the sugar, not completely cook the egg whites. I do my egg white mixture over the double boiler for 90 seconds, and you can see this step around the 1 minute mark in the video. If you heat your egg whites too long, you'll end up with wrinkly shells. If you have any other questions, I'm happy to answer them! Thanks for watching my video <3
