    I just recently found my passion for baking. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not anywhere near good at it yet. But, I've tried a lot of buttercream recipes so far and I always keep coming back to yours! I've finally told myself that I won't even try any other recipes. Thank you so much for all your tips and tricks. People like me appreciate you so much!

    Jump onto google and do a quick conversion - measurements can vary a little between countries but there are heaps of free online converters. Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying the channel thus far - lots more great stuff to come!!

    I made this frosting just now. I used 1 cup less sugar and more milk. I did substitute vanilla with clear almond extract. Came out delicious. Crum coated a 12 " cake and 8" cake...thanks for the tutorial. My first time making frosting from scratch.

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Hi, If you want non grainy frosting, you need a swiss meringue or italian meringue frosting. They are a LOT more work (candy thermometer, egg whites etc) but a delicious frosting. This one will have tiny tiny grains but is a delicious frosting - the best I have ever tried :)

    If you have a coffee grinder, you can grind regular sugar and turn it into icing sugar. Add a little corn starch to it! Good luck.

    Hi Lisa, butter is an essential ingredient for the buttercream as most margarine's just don't have the fats which help to form the buttercream as you beat the ingredients together.

    Hi, I am self taught, but I do a lot of training with 'cake-masters' from around the world. I have spent tens of thousands of dollars refining my skills and I just love it, hence the videos and the sharing. Plus, I've spent so much money, I'd like it if you guys didn't have to! I use a smallish muffin tin, and bake in a 650gram cupcake liner to get my sized cupcakes :)

    friendly tip for some filipino cooks icing sugar in our country is confectioner sugar 😊

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  11 лет назад

    Yes you can Amz, you must keep it in a covered air-tight container in the fridge and it will last a couple of days.
    You would want to allow the icing to return to room temperature before giving a quick mix with electric beaters to re aerate and 'freshen up' the icing.

  • @MimiBondi
    @MimiBondi 10 лет назад +4

    Thanks so much for this video, despite some negative comments below, Im grateful you are sharing! Can this icing be frozen? I have an event coming up and having prepared and decorated cupcakes ahead would be a life saver!

    • @MyCupcakeaddiction
      @MyCupcakeaddiction  10 лет назад +1

      Your welcome Mimi Bondi
      Yes this icing can be frozen, cover it in a container, freeze and when needed allow to gradually warm up and once defrosted give it a 'whizz' with an electric mixer to re-combine the ingredients.
      :-)

    • @MimiBondi
      @MimiBondi 10 лет назад

      MyCupcakeAddiction Thank you :) Do you think I could freeze the cupcakes with icing on them?
      How long can the iced cupcakes stay looking good at room temperature?
      I want to make a cupcake tower for my wedding so need to prepare ahead and wondering if I could how long I can leave them on display, thank you again!

    • @MyCupcakeaddiction
      @MyCupcakeaddiction  10 лет назад +1

      Mimi Bondi You can, however the more variables (cupcake mixture, decorations) you add the more likely something will go wrong.
      Perhaps if possible try freezing one made using the same ingredients and then defrost a day or two later to see?
      Room temperature cupcakes out of the sun and wind should last all day....if the temperature doesn't move and the icing is thick enough to begin with.
      Good luck,
      :-)

    • @MimiBondi

  • @NiaElinor
    @NiaElinor 11 лет назад +3

    Hi, I've just tried this recipe and my buttercream tastes great but has turned out really thick, to the point were I'm having to squeeze the piping bag really hard to get any out. I've tried adding a little more milk, but it's only loosened the frosting a tiny amount. Do you have any tips/suggestions to help? Thanks x

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Glad you like the videos! Thanks for tuning in :) If you don;t have the rotating bowl, it just means you will need to scrape down the sides a little more often and rotate the mixer by hand. No real disadvantage, except that you can't walk away and just let it mix by itself like I do!

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Thanks Ashley!

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Sure - its perfect for that!

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Yes it is! Take out half the milk from this recipe and replace with 1tbsp of lemon juice. Replace half the butter with the same amount of cream cheese at room temperature. Follow all the preparation instructions just the same and you will have delicious cream cheese frosting :)

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Hi sophia, its 250 grams butter (unsalted) and 5 cups of icing sugar (5 cups of unsifted, then you sift it) (same as powdered or confectioners sugar), 1 teaspoon vanilla essence and 2 tablespoons milk :)

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Thanks so much! Positive feedback is always warmly received :) Lots more to come so will definitely be keeping up the tutorials xx

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Make it a little firmer by reducing the milk and/or adding an extra cup of icing sugar if you know you will have them somewhere hot. They should be fine as long as they are not in direct sunlight, but they are made from butter so they will melt eventually if it is super hot. xx

  • @jaybeejack
    @jaybeejack 11 лет назад

    Thanks for this recipe - I made my first batch of butter cream icing EVER (for my husbands birthday) and it went very well! Will be keeping this recipe on file for the future. Cheers.

  • @thathanako7921
    @thathanako7921 12 лет назад

    I've been looking around youtube for a butter cream frosting recipe with perfect consistency for piping. I love the consistency of your butter cream. This is by far, my favorite among the butter cream recipes I've seen on youtube. And no shortening, thank you!! :D genuine butter cream! thank you for this one!

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    To add colour, reduce the amount of milk by the amount of colour you're using (eg: if you use 1 teaspoon of green, remove a teaspoon of the milk)
    For better heat resistance: Make it a little firmer by reducing the milk and/or adding an extra cup of icing sugar. They should be fine as long as they are not in direct sunlight, but they are made from butter so they will melt eventually if it is super hot. I sell mine in pretty hot conditions & they're fine :)

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  11 лет назад

    It can, must be in an airtight container and when ready to use again place on bench top to allow to return to room temperature before mixing again with an electric mixer to re-airate and freshen up the icing.

  • @marymccoy470
    @marymccoy470 11 лет назад

    This is the best frosting I have ever ever made in the whole world of icings and frostings! It is absoulutely AMAZING

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    YES - you can add food colouring and it will colour the frosting without ruining it HOWEVER - cut the amount of milk to 1 tablespoon initially, mix the complete frosting and then once it is all finished, add your colouring at the end. Either liquid or gel colour will be fine and if it is too firm, you can add a little more milk a teaspoon at a time until its the perfect consistency :)

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  11 лет назад

    I bought mine from Kmart here in Australia, its a Sunbeam branded mixer.

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    Hi! Thanks so much! I would take away half the butter, and add the other half amount of cream cheese frosting, reduce the milk to 1 tablespoon, and add a tablespoon of lemon juice - it just balances the sweetness out a bit :) I will have a cream cheese video coming very soon :)

  • @Emily-ow6bk
    @Emily-ow6bk 11 лет назад

    I used margarine, and I whisked it by hand, and it still came out perfect! Thanks so much for the recipe! I will never use a different one!

    I made this to frost chocolate-banana cupcakes. The icing perfectly balanced the slight bitterness of the chocolate.
    The cupcakes vanished in minutes.
    Thanks a lot for the detailed instructions!!

  • @MsLadyDarkside
    @MsLadyDarkside 11 лет назад

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    They are a sunbeam mixmaster :) Available in Australia at Kmart but not sure about your country - you can google sunbeam to see if they supply near you?

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  11 лет назад

    Hi! I just got your message! If its a bit too soft, just add in another cup (or even two) of icing sugar. It wont change the flavour, but different countries have different consistencies of butter etc so adding the additional sugar will just help you achieve the consistency you like:) Hope this helps! xx Elise

    Make a double batch. You should have some left over but this frosting by itself can be left on the bench for 4 days, in the fridge for 2 weeks, or frozen for 6 months. :) xx

    @fatfreesaltines 11 лет назад

    I don't have a mixer either, and I use this recipe all the time. It takes A LOT longer to do it by hand with a whisk, and is one heck of a workout, but it still comes out delicious! P.S. I recommend making a double or triple batch all at once if you know you will be using it. It's a lot easier on your arms to make it all at once than in separate, smaller batches. Good luck!

  • @MyCupcakeaddiction
    @MyCupcakeaddiction  12 лет назад

    You may need to just add small amounts of icing sugar as you mixer is on, until you reach the desired consistency.

    Hi - You can refrigerate for up to a week, or you can freeze it for 3-6 months - and this frosting makes 2 DOZEN (24) cupcake, not 2000. You would need a LOT more butter and sugar to frost that many cupcakes :)
