    I've never seen black cocoa before! I'm sure it tastes way better than the food coloring does. Thanks for the tips!

    If you don't want the chocolate flavor, color it brown first with americolor brown , then add black!!

    I don’t have Americolor and was not able to get it on Amazon due to it being out of stock , I used the sunnys bakery brand.?.? Something like that. It has pink wrapping. But mine didn’t turn out as black as yours. Will it still work? Also will it still get darker over night? Ps. You are a fantastic baker and you are gorgeous! I’m a huge fan!!!!!

    • @Chelsweets

      1 batch of buttercream frosts about 24, but it depends on how you're frosting them / how big of a swirl you're making!

    @haileyrees3643 7 лет назад

    hi plz answer! when you say 'let it sit overnight' how should i do that? do i freeze it or just wrap it in saran wrap or what? haha thx. i'm planning a halloween party and black frosting would be great! x

    • @Chelsweets
      @Chelsweets  7 лет назад +1

      definitely cover with saran wrap (place directly onto frosting), as this is a crusting buttercream! If i plan to use it early the next morning, i let it sit on the counter, if I plan to use it late the next day or in a couple days, I will place it in the fridge! It takes several hours to come to room temperature, so just be sure you have enough time to let it warm back up before you need to use it! And be sure to give it a good stir before frosting the following day

    How do you store it overnight? Do you leave it in the bowl and at room temperature or put it in the refrigerator?

    • @Chelsweets
      @Chelsweets  7 лет назад

      You can do either. If you plan to use it first thing in the morning, leave it out! If not, keep it in the fridge, and remove it a few hours before you need to use it. Give it a good stir before using to ensure you smooth out any air bubbles that can form during the temperature change.

      Yes, it will taste like chocolate and a bit bitter.

    • @Lilbit77

      It makes your buttercream very bitter and not tasty. Just color buttercream and microwave 30 sec stir and let sit for 30 mins to stiffen back up

    Hi! It looks like you’re using 32oz of powdered sugar for the frosting but I remember u saying it was 8 cups. Isn’t 32 Oz 4 cups?? Please advise bc I got my measurements wrong when I made my first batch of buttercream. Thanks!

    • @Chelsweets
      @Chelsweets  7 лет назад +1

      This bag is 2lbs, and contains about 8 cups of powdered sugar! The ratio should always be 2 cups of powdered sugar to 1 stick (or 1/2 cup) of butter

  • @Lilbit77
    @Lilbit77 2 года назад

    This will in fact back your frosting bitter and choc tasting. Will not keep traditional buttercream flavor. Just add your gel coloring and microwave and 15 sec stir and more drops if needed let sit and come to room temp and stir. Repeat if needing deeper color. No need for extra spending or having bad tasting buttercream to achieve black frosting

  • @sophiebonnema5681

    I noticed you added salt to your butter that was unsalted. Could you just use salted butter?

    • @Chelsweets
      @Chelsweets  7 лет назад +6

      Different butters have different amounts of salt, so it's hard to make sure the frosting has the right amount of salt if you use salted butter. That's why most recipes call for unsalted butter!

    • @GodsTyro
      @GodsTyro 5 лет назад

      The problem with this and in some states it is now illegal, is the fact that activated charcoal absorbs a lot of things within the system, so for those that are on medication, if they have taken medication within 2 hours of eating something with activated charcoal, it makes that medication ineffective and as if the person never took it in the first place. This could be potential for disaster. I use it for myself, but if I'm making a cake for other folks, I never use charcoal because of this issue.
