    Cupcake Jemma, you're a genius!! I made this a few days ago and I never knew buttercream could be so soft and smooth!!! There's a heck of a lot of butter, but you wouldn't be able to tell just by eating it. It's so easy to change this to any type of flavour. I added some caramel at the end and topped some chocolate cupcakes with it. My friends were fighting over them!

    One other thing I just want to comment on. I live in the US also and I see a bunch of people asking for measurements in cups rather than weight. I have heard, and now found myself, that weights are much more accurate. Sometimes with cups u can fill the measuring cup differently for say flour if u spoon it in vs. scoop it with the measuring cup, you may end up with more or less. Weight is always the same. I bought a decent scale on Amazon for like $10-15. Well worth the investment. I have found a huge difference with my baking by switching to weights where possible.Hope this helps.

      @CravingsJournal 7 лет назад +25

      I completely agree. I much prefer to weigh the ingredients when I create recipes because then I KNOW for sure people are getting the right amounts. Whereas with the cups, there are even different sizes to them according to the country; so if someone gives you measuring cups as a gift from Canada, say, you won't be accurate with your amounts.

    I made this and it turned out great! Since I haven't found any information about how much this recipe makes, here's what I found out:
    It was enough to coat (just on the outside, I used something else for filling!) an 8 inch/20 cm cake that was 5-6 inch/12-15 cm high. I still had a little leftover, but not too much.
    Hope this helped you :)

      @lisa-jy5vx 4 года назад +4

      @@raihanahr2492 when I made it, it was like 23°C/73°F outside and the buttercream was really soft and silky but not runny (yet). Since I was doing a drip cake, I put my cake in the freezer for about 30 minutes after frosting it so that the drip would cool down really fast. After that, the buttercream of course was really cold and stayed stiff in the fridge as well, but as soon as I took it outside it did get softer rather fast again... I don't know whether that helped you, but if you have any other questions let me know, I'll do my best to answer them ^^

    I enjoy your videos very much and learn so much from them. Thanks for putting in the time and work to make them. I never realized why my buttercream did not turn out right until I saw your video where you explained that we need to whip the butter first for five minutes or so to make it lighter and fluffier. My mother used to make seven minute icing with egg whites, sugar and vanilla on a double boiler, but without the butter, it developed a "crust" after a few hours on the cake. I realize now why it developed that crust, thanks to this video.

    Thank you, you helped me make my first SWB! To others, I'd say it's worth it to invest in a scale! I say "invest", but I think mine was only like $15, and I use it for all kinds of stuff! When it comes to baking, many things will come out a lot better if you do them by weight rather than by volume! I brought the egg/sugar mix up to 140ºF, to pasteurize the eggs :) I recommend, once done, popping it in the fridge to firm up for 10 minutes or so before piping. I did because my butter wasn't all the way softened, and even 30 secs on defrost in microwave melted it a bit 😅But I found firming it up makes it easier to work with, and the heat from your hands on the piping bag will have it getting soft again in no time, so better to get out ahead of that issue!

    I made this and in fact it held very good for heat and humidity. At first it tasted bland, but the next day it was a hit with the kids. I iced 15 cupcakes, and had leftover cream in 4 pipping bags. If you want to colour the buttercream, I learnt the hard way what's missing in this tutorial: gel works better than powdered or liquid food colouring, and it's probably best done on the machine after the vanilla essence, because otherwise it sorry of behaves like water-repellent and you have to whip hard in bowls with a spatula.

    • @debjudisch5548
      @debjudisch5548 2 года назад

      yeah, I wondered how to color, because I want several different colors for piping my cupcakes. I ALWAYS use gel, never, ever liquid or powder, no matter what I am making. So, it is really difficult to take the color? I wouldn't mind if mine was sort of streaked, not totally blended...that might make some really pretty rosettes! Guess I'll find out what it does for me!

    i just made this & it was my first time ever making homeade frosting and it turned out pretty good! i used a hand mixer and one big change i'd make is to not throw the butter in small pieces, but in bigger clumps, cause it's not practical to keep stopping and going to add butter one pad at a time. Also it tastes a bit too buttery and sweet so i think i'd cut the butter down 1/3 and the sugar down 1/4 from the recipe next time
    Quick tip, if you find that you over mixed your BC and it curdled and looks like cottage cheese, scoop about 1/4 of the mixture out and microwave it for 10 seconds then add it back to the rest of the mixture and beat it all together! Instant saved buttercream!

      @@lizbee726 The thing with meringue-based buttercreams like Swiss or Italian is that they really need the butter though. What Jemma didn't show is that the buttercream becomes a soupy mess about halfway through, almost ruined. You can't cut down the amount of butter or it just won't come together properly.

      @@shaereinismail1857 if you ever make it again don't throw it out. Put it in the refrigerator for about 10 to 15 mins then start beating it. It should come out the way you see Gemma's. I've made this buttercream twice. Gemma's once and another bakers recipe once. The difference between the two? Gemma has us using soft butter. The other recipe? She had us using semi soft cooler butter. When I made hers I had no problems whatsoever. When I made Gemma's I did have to put it in the fridge. Hope this helps...

      Technojuckie, did you ever make this recipe using less sugar and butter after all? I'm stuck. I have enough butter to make 1/2 of the recipe but if I were to cut the amount of butter down I'd have enough to make the full recipe. Ugh, hate when I run out of ingredients. Especially certain ones I keep in my house. Butter being one of them. Had I not got on a scone baking bonanza I'd still have at least 2 full pkgs left 😟 Don't get me wrong. All of those different flavored scones were tasty but I want my butter back now, lol...

    You re the best!!! Tried this twice and learned to not put it in the fridge otherways it wont be smooth. This batch can frost the whole cake +faultline+topping on top. I used 5 medium eggs. Make sure you use casters sugar and not regular sugar. It will be easier to disolve w the eggs.

    When I do SMB it looks like a curdled mess when I add almost all the butter....but I just continue wisking and it will become smooth again:)

When that happens I just pop it into the fridge for 5-10 mins then place it back onto the mixer and let it go.

Determined not to give up on the 7 tier cake, I tried Jemma's swiss meringue recipe and the result was a marriage made in buttercream heaven! It also didn't melt or split on the hot spring day like a normal buttercream would do. Thanks for the very comprehensive recipe. I definitely recommend it.
