    I made this buttercream and when I added all the butter the buttercream came together but it slid around the bowl and wasn’t as smooth as yours. I kept mixing for about 25 minutes and it still was the same. My butter was at room temperature and the meringue was completely cool

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  6 лет назад +1

      I have had that happen before I mix on med-high to get it emulsified. You need to mix it at a higher speed. Once you get that emulsion turn it on low to mix for about 5-7 minutes to get out all of your air bubbles.

      Yes, definitely for covering a cake. You can cover with fondant but I recommend not very thick covering and not over 75 degrees because the buttercream can melt and the weight of the fondant will sag.

    I've never made smbc and i want to try, because why not? But I'm curious, what about when you've iced your cake? When you get it out of the fridge for consummation is it stiff like stick of butter on the cake /with all that butter in it/? . Or when you let it come to room temperature it becomes creamy again?

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  3 года назад +1

      When you take out of the refrigerator it will be hard like butter. Just let it come to room temperature and it will be creamy smooth again.

      That is completely normal. Keep mixing…it will come together. This is very much a temperature sensitive recipe. If you have a microwave next time slightly warm your butter up to where when you touch with your fingers the butter is soft and indents easily. Then make your buttercream. This will help since your kitchen is cold.

      Depending on how big the pieces are that would definitely add texture. If you do a purée your texture will be good. Only add in 1/2 increments so you are not breaking down the buttercream with too much liquid. I believe most purées that I do I add up to a 1 1/2 to 2 cups.

    Can I use half butter and half shortening in this recipe? I'm looking for a good recipe, I live in a very warm city here in Mexico and I normally use the American buttercream but I read in a lot of forums that Italian meringue buttercream is better for warm cities and I just discover your swiss version and personally I prefer this recipe over the Italian meringue buttercream but I don't know what to do, I'm thinking about changing the quantity of shortening on my American buttercream recipe to make it more stable or trying this recipe but adding shortening and see if this works, what do you recommend me? I'm sorry for the bad spelling and thanks for the video c:

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  4 года назад +2

      Hello....the most stable is going to be the American buttercream by far. You can get away with all shortening in that one. For SMBC you can sub some of the butter for shortening but I have only seen some other blogs where other bakers have tried it. More like 6 tablespoons to a cup of butter ratio. Not sure how much more you could push those limits. Either way, I don’t think you will get the stability you are looking for. I live in Texas on the Mexican/American border and the way I get around the heat is to layer my cakes with SMBC and then cover my cakes in a form ganache. Provides a great brick wall because in summer months I use a 4:1 ratio of cream to choc. Then I cover in fondant. If you are not familiar with fondant or set on buttercream I would advise the ABC.

      Hello, Noorah....yes, you answered your own question. To build up a meringue you need speed and time with your whip. Use your stand mixer on a high speed. Takes a few minutes...this video with 5 egg whites took about 7-10 minutes. Hope that helps!

    I tried making this just now but with no luck. I figure 2 things must have gone wrong. 1.) When beating the egg white to stiff peak it wasnt really at stiff or as stiff as in the video. 2.) I use salted butter cause that's all I have in central America, Bze. I ended up with a soupy & runny mixture. Anyhow from reading the comments it seems a few minutes in refrigerator and back to beating should help but that didn't work out for me either. So I'll turn this runny butter mixture into a cake with a flour and baking powder.
    Better luck next time for me.

      I think my egg whites was not that stiff enough when I started to add the butter. I think patience is a virtue here cause I was adding the butter too fast out of excitement to see this cream come to perfection. I will give it a try again tomorrow. Can you tell me exactly what the temperature of the butter should be ? I know you say room temperature but my country is very hot and the butter gets really soft to liquid on it's own. We only have a cheap blue Bonet butter here.

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  3 года назад

      I don’t recommend margarine as there is more water in it than real butter. Your butter should look like mine in the video. I live in a hot tropical climate which is why I place my sugar egg white mixture in the freezer about 10 minutes before I whip into meringue. Make sure your meringue sticks to the sides like in the video. Butter should be fairly firm but not cold. You don’t need an exact temperature. Just follow the visuals in the video....mine is left out when I first start to make the butter cream and you can see it is still firm but it will melt some where my fingers touch. Give it another try!

      @sunshineseaandvitamind8620 2 года назад +1

      Your egg whites should not have any yolk(fat) and your bowls and beaters should be extra clean with no traces of fat. This is what causes failed meringue.

    • @ShortCakes

      @ShortCakes  6 лет назад +1

      vivi s....thank you! This is whipped with egg whites so there is a lot more structure than heavy cream would provide. You can see that when you whip up the meringues....also sticky until you incorporate the butter. Give it a try, I am sure you will love it!

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  3 года назад +2

      Without the butter it is just a meringue and not buttercream. You can leave it like that and use it. It is very sticky so keep that in mind. Otherwise, if you still want a buttercream but the color is your concern you can use white food coloring and a small hint of purple to achieve your white result.

    Hi there! great video! I've tried making SMBC couple times already but they always end up tasting like sweetened butter. It tastes so so much more buttery than regular american buttercream. What do you think I should do? Thanks so much

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  3 года назад

      Hello! This is a common complaint. Usually the issue is not adding enough flavoring and/or whipping it enough making it lighter and more flavorful. Give those both a try. Enjoy!

  • @EricHonaker
    @EricHonaker 6 лет назад +4

    This was a very nice video. I have noticed that most instructions I have seen for SMBC suggest whipping the hot sugar/egg mixture immediately and cool it that way. Do you find that cooling first changes the end product in an appreciable way?

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  6 лет назад +2

      Hello Eric....you are correct, and you can totally do that! Most instructions are to put it straight onto the stand mixer and let it mix on high for about 10 minutes, or until cooled. I find that since I live in a very hot climate my buttercream was always pretty soft and I would have to pop it into the refrigerator to help it come together. Then I figured out that if I cool it completely first it 1.) takes less time to mix and come together and 2.) is more stable right away so I can use it on my cake quickly once finished. :)

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  4 года назад +1

      Depends on how much you put between the layers but if you are only doing the swirls on the top and bottom (not covering the whole cake) then two batches should be enough. You can always make three and save the rest (freeze).

    • @shanelleelise7542
      @shanelleelise7542 4 года назад +1

      Thank you. The day I made this comment, I couldn’t wait for your reply and ended up making two batches anyway. Lol. I had plenty of frosting left even after I put a cup of frosting in between the layers. Including the crumb and final coat of frosting and the decorations on top and bottom. I had about two cups of frosting leftover that I froze. The cake I made unfortunately wasn’t for me, so I couldn’t enjoy the frosting and cake together. But after I was done making the cake, I had a spoonful and it was delicious! I’m not a fan of chocolate, but I wouldn’t mind eating this on a cake at all! I will be making a lemon version of this soon. Thanks for sharing and replying back to me. Blessings!

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  3 года назад

      That usually happens from the difference in temperature between the room temp buttercream and the cold buttercream from the cake being refrigerated, condensation usually being the issue. No worries...just let the cake sit a few minutes before starting your final layer of buttercream and it will integrate better.

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  4 года назад +1

      It depends on what is in your area. A good quality butter that I like is Plugra but can be pricy. Challenge butter is a good alternative that I use and like the results. Also, please note this is a true buttercream frosting...so to tase butter to some degree is absolutely the point. However, it is often true that most people who have this complaint can remedy the problem by adding more of your flavor of extract you are using.

    Hello! I tried making buttercream before but why does it taste too buttery? Is it maybe because of my butter? Idk if it's slted or unsalted cause all it says is buttercup, that's also the label.

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  4 года назад

      Is it real butter that you are using? Make sure to add your extract. There are usually two reasons people think it tastes too buttery. The first is because they don’t add flavor (extract) or not enough. The second is simply because they don’t realize what a true buttercream tastes like. There are a lot of “buttercream’s” out there with little to no butter at all so our palates are not used to it. Once this recipe is whipped up and has flavor is is ultra smooth and a flavorful buttercream taste.

    • @ShortCakes

      Hello! Yes, you could frost the cake with just the meringue once it is cooled. It will be very sticky but will work. Consider adding flavor...if you want a pure white for vanilla you will need a colorless imitation vanilla. 🙂

    What can i do to make this more stable in a 29°C humid weather? I've tried making this twice and it just melts and turn soupy and deflates. First try was grainy. Second was ok but a not as fluffy as yours so i put it in the fridge for a bit but when i whipped it again it deflated.

    • @ShortCakes
      @ShortCakes  6 лет назад +1

      Lyka Enriquez, the only reason it would be grainy is if your sugar is not melted properly. You can use the finger test as I have demonstrated (watch for the frothy stage too) or use a candy thermometer and go to, at the very least, 140 degrees. There have been some studies showing that 160 degrees makes it a bit more stable but probably not what you are looking for. That being said, this is not a traditional American style buttercream loaded up with shortening and powdered sugar so there are downfalls to that. This is not a cake you want sitting out in high temps. To make this properly make sure that your syrup stage (once everything is heated and combined) is completely cool before you whisk it. That is why I put mine in the freezer for about 10 minutes. I live in a tropical, very humid environment also. If my weather stripping is old on my doors and it rains this buttercream will not come together because of the high humidity. So, easy fix...just check your weather stripping to be sure and fix it if you need to. Your electric bill will be better too... :) Once cooled, whip it. When you get to the stage you put the butter in it will deflate some, that is normal. But it will not be soupy and it will come together if you follow all my steps. That brings me to my last point....I use this buttercream for my orders but it is too hot here. I get around this by torting and filling my cakes with this buttercream, then I cover my cakes in ganache. The ganache is great because it serves as my brick wall making it possible to use this elegant buttercream in my desserts. Hope this helps....don't give up. Try again...you will get it.

      Yes, you can cover your cake with fondant once it is covered in SMBC. I recommend chilling your cake thoroughly once you have it covered in the buttercream. Then roll your fondant fairly thin so it is not too heavy. Keep it in a room 70 degrees or colder.

      Likely if you have tried this twice with the same results you have a humidity issue. Check your weather stripping, make sure doors, windows are closed. I live in a humid area and that totally affects it this way.

      Hello mae gako...you can totally make this in advance. There are a couple ways. The first way is to just make the syrup and once you take it off the stove to cool you can just store it in a container in the refrigerator. When you are ready to make it the rest of the way pull it out and whip it up and follow the rest of the directions for adding in your butter and flavors. The second way is to completely make the buttercream recipe all the way through....you can wrap it up and save it in the refrigerator or freezer. When you are ready to use it again set the buttercream out and allow it to come to room temperature and then whip it until it is fluffy and smooth again (should take several minutes).
