I have tried many recipes trying to find a frosting recipe that everyone enjoys(and I can still use for decorating )... i personally love all frostings. However my friends and family always complained that it was too sweet (it's suppose to be sweet!!!! Anyways...) I kept looking for a buttercream recipe that wasn't as sweet. And thanks to you I found it! Granted its still sweet.(as it should be ) but my friends and family said it was much better. Thanks!
I've been looking for a less sweet butter cream and here I found it! I tried a lot of butter cream recipes and most of it was so super sweet and my family doesn't like sweet much. Here I found a good recipe, not too sweet and super fluffy. Thank you so much!!
I made this and it turned out really good and pipes great to, i also put a few pinches of salt into it to takeaway some of the sweetness. I also added the coco powder and made the chocolate one and that was also very nice. It sets quite firm once refridgerated.
I have used this recipe many times and it always turns out great. However, with the change in Crisco shortening, the shortening leaves a bit of a slick coating on the tongue and palette. Lately, I have had better success with 1 stick butter and 1 stick Imperial margarine. Also, instead of milk, typically I use dry coffee creamer mixed with water. Perfection!
Coffee creamer? Wow. Now that's thinking outside the box. Have always been leery of milk idea especially when letting the cake sit on the counter. Thanks so much!
Try this recipe next time!! Don't use Crisco - 1 cup high fat ratio shortening (NOT veg. shortening) 1 cup butter 2 tbsp meringue powder 2 tsp clear vanilla extract 8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar 9 tbsp milk (regular or 2% work great)
For a harder frosting do this recipe! 2 cups high fat ratio shortening not Crisco 2 tbsp meringue powder 2 tsp clear vanilla extract 8 cups sifted confectioner's sugar 10 tbsp milk (regular or 2% work great)
As a Wilton fan of many years, I would like to pass on the tip to use water instead of milk to thin buttercream icing because milk can make your colors off if you tint your icing.
Mermaid Pearl - Confectioner’s sugar is made from cane sugar that has been ground into a fine powder and mixed with a small amount of cornstarch or tapioca starch. When making things like icings you will want to use confectioners’ sugar.
+Leonie Harding - If you are looking for a pure white buttercream just omit butter; substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for butter and add 1/2 teaspoon No-Color Butter Flavor.
Wilton Could you explain the reasoning for the vegetable shortening? I've never seen vegetable shortening used before in a frosting recipe. Just like using vegetable oil in cupcakes, I don't understand it. Every cupcake I've ever made didn't require the use of vegetable oil and they stayed moist even in the open air for at least a week.
Vegetable shortening is good to incorporate into the icing when the cake or cupcakes will be served in a warmer humid climate or out door location. I've seen buttercream melt right off of a cake when made with all butter. Also, incorporating vegetable shortening gives a whiter color. I'm not a fan of all shortening, but a lot of bakeries do use primarily shortening.
In regards to the cupcake, give it a try and I doubt you'll ever go back! They end up staying so moist and fluffy for so much longer when you use vegetable oil rather than a traditional recipe. TheScranLine has the best recipes I've come across so far.
hi maam ,,,i love your way teaching how to make butter cream ,,,very clear and easy to get ,,,,,,,hmmmp especialy your voice very nice like singing angel ,,,same as your lovely face maam ,,,great job god bless you
Okay, so I didn’t have shorting so I decided to use some margerine butter for it and I used everything else and it turned out beautiful. I’m only 13 too!! Thanks for the help!!
Hi I took the Wilton cake decorating coarse. The way they showed us how yo make buttercream icing was with all vegetable shorting, and we also used meringue powder. So does your way change the flavor?, and if this is the Wilton way then why were we told different?
If it had merengue powder it must have been royal icing. This is a different kind of icing. Buttercream is a soft and creamy frosting that doesn't harden like royal.
hey I have a request: for future videos it would also be appealing to have the measurements in grams and/or litres for people who aren't from the US :D it's very annoying to always have to calculate and it wouldn't be much work to just add the grams in brackets when listing the ingredients
sharen ng from my experimenting I would say no for this recipe because than the powder but ratio would be of and it wouldn't turn it right, if you don't like how sweet this buttercream is may I suggest a cream cheese frosting as it's more tart or a meringue buttercream
FYI everyone; if you cannot get the icing [aka confectionary] sugar you can make your own be putting granulated sugar in a blender--the higher quality blender will make a finer powder.
in my opinion, veg shortening is bad for health reasons. Google why hydrogenated oils are bad for us . :) I don't use it for that reason. I personally don't like the texture of it either in frosting as I taste it. I always stick to butter and I've never been sorry.
Learn how to make Wilton Buttercream Icing. It's the traditional choice for flavor and versatility and it is softer and more spreadable than most icings. Perfect for icing cakes, piping borders, writing, flowers, etc. Buttercream can also be prepared with all shortening, resulting in a pure white icing! #buttercream #buttercreamicing #cakedecorating
for the buttercream package I did everything according to the package and when I put the Wilton red color, the icing became very thin we put powdered sugar to try to thicken it up and it didn't woek

Thank you very much! Concise and very clear. Are the recipes written somewhere? I had a time trying to keeping up, as you listed the ingredient. I am going to try this on a carrot cake I spotted somewhere.
I prefer to use all butter, and usually use heavy cream rather than milk to adjust final consistency. It tastes great, but will this variation stand up in decorating.
Hi Wilton.. loved that recipe.. thanks for so many videos.. want to know one thing can i replace sweetened non dairy whipping cream in place of veg shortening and less sugar.. and if yes then when should i add whipping cream along with butter or after adding sugar to butter and will i get stiff peaks then too for designing. Please do reply.. i will be waiting thank you..
Could I substitute more butter for the shortening? I just personally just don't like shortening in frosting, but other than that, I love this recipe! It's so easy to get the right consistency!
Watch our updated buttercream frosting recipe video here: bit.ly/2uyYg9E
Is the butter salted or unsalted does it matter??
calypsomorena
Yea it does....
So which one is it?
calypsomorena it doesn’t really matter, but if you use unsalted, add 1/8 teaspoon of salt
Where can I get these ingredients in England ? Please
I half expected you to have a purple stand mixer
same😂

@@calypsomorena it should be unsalted otherwise the icing will be salty
search for Ermine frosting recipe on RUclips. It's not so sweet.

I made this butter cream for a wedding cake that I made! Tastes great and uses less butter its my new go to!
As a Wilton fan of many years, I would like to pass on the tip to use water instead of milk to thin buttercream icing because milk can make your colors off if you tint your icing.
I bought a wilton 2d nozzle it makes fab roses and this buttercream is really delicious. I made it for my friends birthday she loved it!
Kristoffer Pe Benito This buttercream recipe can be used right away or you can store it in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
Do you have to use shortening?
This is the best buttercream honestly ! I had tried many recipes and this one is the best from all 🙌 thank you !
We're so glad you love it! 💛

Wilton what if mine feels a little bit sandy but i followed the instructions correctly
alecs mix proprly
alecs mine was a bit dry & Sandy. I just kept adding a spoonful of milk & mixing until i got the texture I wanted
what about icing sugar
+tanya man gal Thats what Confectioner’s sugar is!
Took the Wilton decorating decorating corses we where told to use water which was very good! Enjoy your video thank you!
This is just wonderful just made it. Easy Tastes great easy to work with.
I one to no more about cake please help me .........
I just made this for some frozen themed cupcakes Im preparing and may I tell you it came out SUPER YUMMY!!!!! Thanks!!!!! Super Super delish!!!!!!!
+Leonie Harding - If you are looking for a pure white buttercream just omit butter; substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for butter and add 1/2 teaspoon No-Color Butter Flavor.
How and why did mine become grainy? What do I do to remedy this?
This is magic!! I added pink coloring it was so good
May I request a video from Wilton on how to make an Italian Buttercream?
Thanks!
hi.I went to your shop today and your stuff is amazing I wish had everything.
How many layers of cake does it cover ?
About a two layer 8x8x2
Filming has improved heaps. Nice to be able to see things clearly now.
Wilton can you use regular vanilla extract in substitute of the clear vanilla
Yes , it wouldn't make that much of a color difference. I use regular
+Mitchell Gil Of course you can! They only use the clear for the colour, but really, the colour is fine if you use normal - I never use clear!
Mitchell Gil yes but clear vanilla makes it much paler
Cool tips. I always threw my b/cream out and made a new batch the following day, until now..thank you.

hi maam ,,,i love your way teaching how to make butter cream ,,,very clear and easy to get ,,,,,,,hmmmp especialy your voice very nice like singing angel ,,,same as your lovely face maam ,,,great job god bless you
We could use it for cupcakes right
+hang luu Sure can!
+Wilton so can I add any color tht I want? ???
+Zz Chikki zZ Of course you can. This is a basic recipe - add what you want.
Girl yo butter cream is DEVINE (elegants)
Is this the recipe Rosanna Pansino uses in all her videos?
Shayna Corrigan i think so
best frosting on RUclips
How big of a cake will this ice?
Okay, so I didn’t have shorting so I decided to use some margerine butter for it and I used everything else and it turned out beautiful. I’m only 13 too!! Thanks for the help!!
you're beautiful with a Gorgeous Masterpiece,so Lovely...
Omg I tried it and it totally works! Thanks wilton

2 weeks! Hell no i wanna make my cake today!
hey I have a request: for future videos it would also be appealing to have the measurements in grams and/or litres for people who aren't from the US :D it's very annoying to always have to calculate and it wouldn't be much work to just add the grams in brackets when listing the ingredients
Do I use unsalted butter or regular butter?
Maria
It’s recommended to use unsalted.
I made this icing, it tastes really good!
Hi, can i use less powdered sugar as i find that 4 cups are too sweet?
sharen ng add a couple pinches of salt...itll take some of the sweetness out
sharen ng from my experimenting I would say no for this recipe because than the powder but ratio would be of and it wouldn't turn it right, if you don't like how sweet this buttercream is may I suggest a cream cheese frosting as it's more tart or a meringue buttercream
Tanya Knowles salt actually intensifies the sweetness
FYI everyone; if you cannot get the icing [aka confectionary] sugar you can make your own be putting granulated sugar in a blender--the higher quality blender will make a finer powder.
I have a question if you don't have shortening what could you use instead? Cuz I don't have shortening
butter
So that's 2 sticks of butter
Hannah Cox use double the amount of butter
You can use cream cheese
I just made this and it came out perfect
If we don't have vegetable shortening what we do
Exo l kpop Army astro you can make it with out the shortening
Princess Cringe why u gotta be so mean for?
Olie M WITHOUT?? OR WITH SHORTENING?
I like to add liquid smoke to white frosting to give it an extra kick.
Why would you use the paddle attachment over the whisk
+1
because sometime the icing can get to thick and it wouldn't be good for the wisk
+SavannahB whisk
Thank you 😀
It also tends to add extra air bubbles when you use a whisk, which can be annoying when piping.
thank you girl.. very good and very well explained
I don't know your terminology as we don't talk like this in the UK
Follow them and they make a great icing for cakes! Krazy Kool Cakes & Designs
That mixer needs replacing :)
Esta es una de las mejores recetas que e encontrado para hacer con mis pasteles
EN PASTELANDIA hola!
Disculpa, se puede cubrir con fondant esta receta?
IT IS VERY BAD TO USE SHORTENING U JUST HAVE TO ADD MORE BUTTER OK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DANS REVIEWS AND STUFF but then it tastes too much like butter...
Why is it bad??
butter doesn't hold up in heat. so you need to use shortening instead.
in my opinion, veg shortening is bad for health reasons. Google why hydrogenated oils are bad for us . :) I don't use it for that reason. I personally don't like the texture of it either in frosting as I taste it. I always stick to butter and I've never been sorry.

Wilton ,what are the ingridients for all shortening buttercream?
+Wilton Buttercream made with all shortening is nowhere near as nice as made with butter. Wouldn't use it.
for the buttercream package I did everything according to the package and when I put the Wilton red color, the icing became very thin we put powdered sugar to try to thicken it up and it didn't woek
good demonstration baby , you'll get better as time goes by !
tehran1100 hi!
Looks so easy...have to try making it! 😀
Way too sweet. Yucky.
pattycakes376 use unsalted butter then add about a teaspoon of salt to cut the sweetness
Thanks very tasty buttercream.

I recommend using 2tbsp of unsweetened almond milk for a fluffy taste and consistency
Hi thanks for the video. Will this hold in tropical humid weather (outside under a roof)?
This was really helpful!
I prefer to use all butter, and usually use heavy cream rather than milk to adjust final consistency. It tastes great, but will this variation stand up in decorating.
What if we don't have a paddle attachment can we use a dough hook or whisk ??
I don't hv the paddle attachment along with my hand beater so can I use the other normal attachment given with Phillips hand beater.plz reply
very good
Too sweet.
Your super amazing thank you very much

Hey
