@@MamasPricelessPartiesnew to the channel on june30'24 I was looking for a vanilla hack for my Coconut cake the only thing I can do just add my Roasted coconut on Top thanks for the recipes I was trying to Add the Cream cheese with it's but I don't no how it's going to come out HELP what can I do to make it's brought vanilla out the vanilla cream cheese ?❤❤😊😮
Thanks for subscribing! I have not tried adding cream cheese to the Betty Crocker French Vanilla Frosting as of yet. I hope to test this out soon. If I were trying it, I would not add the icing sugar because the cream cheese on its own should thicken the frosting. Just not sure if it will hold when piping it. Hope that helps.
@MamasPricelessParties I love your video, but if I may offer a tip from a professional chefs point of view... confectioners sugar is also known as powdered sugar- it's not known as icing sugar depending where you live. It's an industry standard.
I tried this, tweaking just a little bit. I added 2/3 c powdered sugar to 1 tub of storebought frosting. I didn't refrigerate it but went ahead and piped it onto my mini bundt cakes. Turned out great! Thank you for the tip!!
I would say around 3-4 days. I pipe my cake the day before serving it and we usually finish it within a couple of days. I do not put my cake in the fridge during this time.....unless it is really hot in the house. I do put a cover over it, but not all the way. I use a folded tea towel to prop the cover up and make sure the air can circulate. If you keep the cake sealed for too long, I find the frosting starts to sweat and will look abit wet. If you need to use a cake caddy, only use it to transfer the cake and then open it up upon arrival. Also, if I have left over cake, I just put a piece of saran wrap and place it along the cut sides of the cake and it will keep the moisture in the cake for a couple of days. Hope that helps. Enjoy!
Have you ever added chocolate or strawberry to make flavored butter cream? Just curious. Saw someone said they did that but ive never tried wonder about quantity, etc.
Thank you for sharing. I would do this if I do not have enough time. But if I do have time, I prefer making old school homemade buttercream frosting, using white sugar, unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract.
Thank you. I made some cute ninja turtle cupcakes the other day. Unfortunately the icing melted and they looked double mutated 😂. I’ve always found homemade icing recipes and most icing for that matter way too sweet. I prefer whipped frosting and I’ve been hesitant to add powdered sugar to store bought. I will try this and for sure add that pinch of salt.
Sorry to hear about your double mutated ninja turtle cupcakes. That can be very frustrating when we spend the time to make them and than it starts melting...hopefully in your case the double mutation added to the look. Hopefully, you find the right sweetness balance with this hack so that you don't have to deal with that. However, if you ever find yourself in this situation again, immediately put them in the fridge to stop the melting.
If your prefer things to be sweeter, than you could leave out the salt. In this case, I would recommend making it without the salt and taste test. If you love the sweetness than you are done. If you find it too sweet, add a touch of salt and mix again. Hope that helps.

Yes. I always find little chunks of icing sugar at the end of sifting that need to be broken up. It is best to have these chunks broken up before putting it into the Frosting.
Hi what does it taste like… actually I am looking for a frosting that is done in cakes sold in grocery store.. I tried store bought cakes like cookie and cream cake or strawberry shortcake and the frosting in middle is so awesome . Cake costs me $6 Canadian and I want to buy the whipping cream used for it.. and the red strawberry jell as well which is on strawberry shortcake…. Will you please help me out.. Thankyou
Sorry, this is not a whipping cream frosting. This hack thickens Betty Crocker frosting, so you get better piping results. If you like the whipped cream frosting inside the store-bought cake, I would talk to the bakery department where you buy the cakes. Ask them if you can buy their frosting. Good luck!
Being nervous is totally normal. Even though I have been doing this for a long time, I still get nervous when trying something new. Put your favorite music on, try to relax and have fun with this new experience! Hope it all goes well!
You can use it to pipe without the hack, but it does not hold its shape very well anymore. If you do this, make sure to chill the frosting before piping and then put your cake in the fridge immediately after piping to prevent it from loosing shape. Hope that helps.
I guess that would really depend on your sweetness meter. LOL! Keep in mind that when you add the icing sugar, the overall amount of frosting increases and you are adding a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
This is much easier and faster than homemade frosting The recipe I got from taking a cake decorating class at Michael's craft store years ago was for a buttercream, but it used crisco not butter. The advantage to that was you didn't need to refrigerate the whole cake And even then you add more or less liquid to get the right consistency for piping. If you wanted to make roses you needed pretty stiff frosting. For writing you want it softer. For just icing the cake before the decorating you want softer more spreadable. The thing I don't like about the jar frosting is that it never crusts over. It stays wet and sticky and glossy looking My basic recipe was a pound of powdered sugar and a pound of crisco. A few tablespoons of water, and flavorings like imitation vanilla and butter flavor. Pinch salt. Mostly it's about technique in mixing it together. I heard the formulation of crisco has changed too so I don't know what would happen now. Another reason we didn't use butter is because we needed to start with white frosting
@@recoveringsoul755I think by the time I have to pull out everything, bake it, decorate it, and clean up, what's ten or fifteen minutes to make homemade buttercream.
@@FreedomJane-bx4um it's more than 10 minutes. If you think this hack is too labor intensive, you won't want to make it from scratch. I used to make two batches of frosting on day one of making a cake. Each batch makes about 3 cups I think. Put it in the fridge. Day 2 bake the cakes. If time take out one batch of frosting to bring up to room temperature. Beat again !! Spread in cake to seal everything in. Day 3 bring other batch of frosting to room temperature, beat again, divide and tint to the colors needed. Fill piping bags, and decorate the cake. Lots of cleanup each day and I like working in a clean kitchen. If you gave a KitchenAid stand mixer you can make 2 batches of frosting at once but I had to get a hand mixer and it wasn't strong enough for that. I had to buy the KitchenAid hand mixer with wire whisk attachment beaters. Several bowls to make frosting. Cleanup. Several bowls and pans to bake cakes. More bowls for decorating. Plus piping bags and tips The fun part is decorating. To save time I'd order a cake from Costco but ask for all white frosting in whatever design. Then I'd carefully scrape off the roses or whatever, put that into bowls, add my colors and use that to make a completely different cake decoration. The baking and making frosting was done. Only good for sheet cakes though.
@@recoveringsoul755 I'm really not trying to troll you, I've been cooking every day since I was six, and now I'm fifty. A good hand mixer is superior to a stand mixer for meringue. Don't forget cream of tarter, it really makes the peaks stiffen. Are you putting your metal bowl and beaters in the fridge while your butter softens? Perhaps your kitchen is very humid or you live in a warm climate, temperature matters a lot. Always use unsalted butter, there's a reason why salt is used to melt an icy sidewalk. Some people are simply faster, not that you're slow, but decades of bake sales, class parties, and birthdays means I've streamlined the whole affair. Doubling the recipe doesn't really take much more time rather than making two batches. Obviously you have experience with baking, but if you are in an industrial kitchen distractions and foot traffic will slow you down. I just think homemade is better, but instead of trying to improve the store bought frosting have you shopped around for a different brand? Buttercream is the king, but there are types of frosting or recipes that are faster. Also, I have the opinion that you can only eat so much cake before you get fat or diabetes, so life is too short to eat bad cake. And opinions are like a$$h@les, everybody has one, if you like your recipe and you're happy with the results then that's all that matters.
@@FreedomJane-bx4um I'm not talking about Meringue and tes I know about cream of tartar. I'm talking about a buttercream frosting recipe. Made with actual butter or like the class I took, Crisco. Both solid action temperature. Unlike egg whites which are liquid at room temperature and light and fluffy when whipped into a meringue. Crisco is heavier and more dense than fluffy egg whites. I also learned how to make royal icing and we also messed around with that stuff I don't like the taste of and can't remember the name of now, that rolls out and drapes over the cake? You were still supposed to have buttercream under it. Fondant, yuk I could only do part of it each day because I had to run kids back and forth to their activities and still clean my kitchen enough to make dinner and eat. Each day. I haven't tried every type of frosting recipe ever made but we were talking about buttercream. For the cake decorating class we used boxed cake mix we just added a tablespoon of meringue powder to make it better. I don't make cake very often now. Some think buttercream is too sweet. But for me the whipped cream toppings are too bland. If I'm going to eat cake I want it to taste like cake
Icing sugar ? Does she mean powdered sugar ?
Yes, they are the same thing. It is just named differently depending on where you live.
Thank you

Did the frosting last a few hours without melting? I would like to try this on cupcakes
Thank you for the tip. I never knew...
Happy to help
Too sweet
Just saw an Aussie chef do this without adding the icing sugar. He just whipped it on high until the volume doubled!
Great tips! Will be using this weekend :)
Awesome. Have fun!
Thanks for sharing this tip! 😍 Do you know for how long can it stay stable out of the fridge?

what does salt do to it? im new to all of this
@@audrina670 she said it cuts down on the sweetness. Makes sense I’ve just never thought to try it.
@@libertylover2597 oh! Okay thank you! If that's the case, I should leave the salt out, if I prefer it sweeter, correct?

Do you have to sift it?
Yes. I always find little chunks of icing sugar at the end of sifting that need to be broken up. It is best to have these chunks broken up before putting it into the Frosting.
Is icing sugar confectionery sugar?
Yes, they are the same thing. It is just named differently depending on where you live.
Not really. Icing sugar is powdered sugar minus the cornstarch.
I wonder how this would work with instant pudding?
Not sure, I have not tried doing this before. But, now you have me thinking...I might just have to test this out.

I got the strawberry frosting because it is not so sweet. Will adding the sugar change the taste too much even after adding salt?
Sorry, I am not sure. I haven't used the strawberry frosting before.
Wow th k you
Muchas gracias, por el translate…. Thank you
Confections sugar
Yes, where you’re from that’s what it’s called! Has the same meaning with either name 😊
Use cream cheese to make it not so sweet 💗
That is a great idea! I will have to try that.
Can you tell me how much cream cheese to use with frosting? And should be the icing sugar be used as well?
❤❤❤
😊
I’d add some butter or cream cheese instead and whip it. Canned frosting is too sweet to begin with
That would make it too sweet.
I can't even imagine buying frosting in a can. Yuck! Lots of unnecessary chemicals.
Wouldn’t that be overly, sickeningly sweet?
I guess that would really depend on your sweetness meter. LOL! Keep in mind that when you add the icing sugar, the overall amount of frosting increases and you are adding a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
Honestly, this seems labour intensive for store bought frosting. If quality is important share a recipe for homemade frosting in another video.
