Oh my god, thankyou thankyou thankyou thankyou!!! I have been trying and stressing for nearly 10 hours today to get a nice navy blue but I just couldn't do it, I have just now stumbled across this video, tried it....

@@Maffylicious1 I still just can not get over how well this works 😂 I'm on my 5th cake using this method and it still amazes me haha
Yes, thanks for sharing this most helpful tip - saves us money and time 😊 Much appreciated 👍
Do you whip it agin after it sits in the fridge
@@sharonfitzpatrick1621 I dont whip it but I do gently stir it with a wooden spoon so it not as solid to work with. The colour will get a bit lighter when you've mixed it again but once it's on the cake and has sat for a bit the colour will then darken again xx
Such a cool idea! Can’t wait to see how you made that blue stripy cake. Looks gorgeous!
Coming soon.Thanks so much! 😊

Thank you - I came across this, looking to see if there were any tips for dark colours - here you are ! I achieved the correct dark green colour I needed without putting tons of colouring in and the buttercream going darker by itself after a few hours. I left my cake for a while & the colour stayed the same as I put it on - marvellous. I have been decorating cakes for a long time - never too old to learn & another new skills acquired - thank you once again for sharing ♥

اجمل بصمه ليكي حبيبتي يسلمو يارب
I just tried this technique with my black American buttercream and it did work! But I think I may have made a mistake because I use half butter and half vegetable shortening for my recipe. I noticed after I put my buttercream in the fridge to firm up, the shortening separated from the rest of the mixture. Do you happen to know if I can just rewhip everything together or do I need to make a new batch?
Thank you! Do you think I can do it with whipped cream frosting as well?
No I don’t think it’s going to work with whipped cream frosting. But will work with any other butter based icing.
Hello, great video. I was reading through the comments and saw that you replied to someone saying that it can be chilled in the fridge for up to 4hrs. Do I whip it as soon as I take it out of the fridge or am I supposed to let it get to room temp and then whip it in my stand mixer? Thank you.
Hello Arlene, thank you for your question.
If it’s too hard when you take it out of the fridge, perhaps waiting before mixing might be a good idea. Also, you don’t have to use a stand mixer, a spatula would do just fine and if you must, don’t whip it for too long as it might start to look pale again.
On another note, leaving it in the fridge for 4hrs may not be necessary as long as the buttercream’s cooled down enough to be used.
Thank you once again. Hope this helps?
Wow....very nice share dear....
Thank you so much 😊
Wow.. Very helpful video for home bakers. Nice presentation dear. Stay connected

Nice video! Does it work with SMBC as well please?
Yes it does! I've heard many others say they used it with SMBC and it worked. Thank you for watching.
very nice tips.
Thank you so much 😊
After being microwaved a bit it’s quite runny. It is a great bold color but what do I do now? Do I put in fridge to firm or let it go back to room temp first, stir and then refrigerate??? Thank you for your great tutorial and that blue is gorgeous as is your finished cake!!!
Hello. Thank you for watching.
Yes, mix the runny buttercream to blend it together then put in the fridge till it firms up, then give it another quick final mix before using.
Hope this helps 🥰
I just did this and I'm scared to microwave it "too much" as once I did that trying to get red and I'm pretty sure sugar crystals formed that made the buttercream have little chunks. UGH. On your last heating in the video, it kind of looked like that but then it was smooth! So anyway, I stopped when mine was still kinda dark greyish blue and put it in the fridge. I'm assuming I can check it tomorrow and microwave more if I need to continue darkening? I don't need this before Thursday when I stack the cake.
Wow yummy 😋 clr is so beautiful 😍 amezing sty connected ❤️ dost ....
Thank you so much 😊. Hope you will visit again.
This is a must try for me!!! Will this work for black as well?
Absolutely! It will work for any colour. Please do let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching. Seasons greetings ♥️
@@Maffylicious1 thanks so much, I have a cake to do using black icing. Will definitely give this a try. Question, will it have a bitter taste?
Sounds great! And no, it shouldn’t have a bitter taste, mine didn’t.
All the best 😊. Please do subscribe for more tutorials . Thank you ♥️
Hi, thanks for sharing this is very useful!!! If the buttercream is too runny after in the microwave, is it going to back to normal after I chill for 1-2 days? Thanks!
Hi Anthonia. Yes, the buttercream will go back to normal after leaving it to cool for some hours. You don't need to leave it for 1 -2 days, you can leave it for up to 4 hrs in the fridge depending on the quantity, just until it's nice and firm (not runny). Then, give it a final mix with a mixer.
Hope this explanation helps and if you have any more questions or doubt, I'm happy to answer them. Thank you for watching.
@@Maffylicious1 thanks a lot😘😘😘
You’re most welcome. Do let me know how it goes if you can. Hope you’ll subscribe and visit more often ❤️

Thank you!
Can you do the same thing with swiss meringue or Italian or any other buttercream using egg in it?
I’ve read from some people that it works but haven’t personally tried it. You can just test a little bit of buttercream to check, but I’m almost certain it does.
What buttercream did you use
Nice
Thanks
I’ve seen this a few times but they always use swish meringue buttercream.
Can it be done with American buttercream or dairy free buttercream using vegetable oil based butter replacements?
Thanks in advance 😊
Hello Simone Krause, I used American buttercream in this video. What I always advice if trying something new is to do a little testing before going all out just to be on the safe side.
Hope it goes on well as you desire.
Thank you 💝
Nice upload like 23

Will this work with Swiss meringue or would the eggs cook in the microwave?
My apologies for the late response, your comment somehow got lost in the comment section.
As for Swiss meringue, many people have tried it and confirmed that it worked but I haven’t tried it yet.
Perhaps, you may want to try a little sample to see how it turns out.
Thank you for watching. 💝
Looks delicious , well done friend , stay in touch plz
Thank you, I will. Hope you will subscribe and visit again.
Do you make blue icing, then just take out a little and microwave it then add it to the rest of the icing, or do you make the whole amount that you need
Apologies for the late response. I make the whole amount that I need. That way, the colour is deeper and better than taking a little out to microwave. Thank you.
Can we use this with Swiss meringue buttercream??
I haven’t tried it with Swiss meringue buttercream but I’ve heard someone mentioned to me that they did and it worked. I’ll advice you to try just a little to test just to be on the safe side.
Do kindly let me know how it goes. Thank you for watching ♥️
Does it also work with whipped cream frostings?
Hi Misseng_ _
I don’t think it will because whipped cream doesn’t melt and totally different from buttercream.
Will this work with IBC ?
hi can you do it on fondant thanksss
Hello @Hannah Temple, are you asking for how to colour a fondant? Please explain. Thank you.
hello new friend is here hope to see you around have a nice day best wishes
Great vid, thanks for the tip! What is the facebook group that you got this tip from? Would love to join if possible.
I forgot to mention how beautiful that navy blue is on your lovely cakes 😊
Aww thank you so much. I’m glad you like it ♥️
Does it work with meringue and Chantilly?
Hi David, I don’t think it will work with whipped cream frosting but it does work with Swiss meringue buttercream or any butter based icing.
I always advised to do a small quick test before trying it out on the whole batch.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for watching.
Does it stain your tongue and teeth after darkening like adding a lot of food color does ?
Hi Rashmi Sharma, I try not to use coloured buttercream throughout the cake when decorating, I only use a thin layer of coloured buttercream just enough to cover the surface and to avoid eating too much of dark coloured buttercream.
So I can’t really say as I personally don’t like eating coloured buttercream on cakes. Thank you 😊
Will this method work on cream cheese buttercream ?
Hello. I’m not 100% sure. If it’s more of a buttercream than cream cheese, it should work. I would say to experiment with a little batch of it to be sure. 💗
Will this work with other colors.. like black or deep purple?
Yes, it definitely will. Thank you for watching.
Awesome, new friend here to support 👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for supporting 😊
Will it not melt when in tropical season?its very tropical here in the Philippines,will it work? Thank you very much for your help :))
Hi @Julienne Formeloza. I’m guessing this buttercream should be fine in a very hot weather condition as long as it’s not left in the heat for a very long time. It’s a basic American buttercream (ABC) that I’ve used here and I’ve found it to be quite stable especially when you use the 2:1 recipe (I.e, 500g icing sugar to 250 grams butter).
Thank you so much for watching ♥️
@@Maffylicious1 thank you very much ^_^,have a good day
You’re welcome and have a lovely day too 🥰
i don’t have microwave, can i use oven instead?
I can’t advice using oven as you might accidentally burn it or something. How about you use a double boiler method.
Simply put some water in a pot/saucepan and place on a hob or cooker, put your buttercream in a heat resistant bowl and place on the saucepan till it melts a bit. You can experiment with a little and see how it goes. All the buttercream need is the heat to develop the colour.
Hope this helps. Do let me know if it worked out. Thank you ♥️
good luck my new friend
Thank you 😊
Hi what kind of buttercream did you use?
I used the American buttercream
@@Maffylicious1 thank you!
i don't have an microwave :( does it work with oven?
Thank you so much for this tip!!! Deffo trying this!! I wanted to know what quantity of the buttercream you used, was it 250g butter and 500g sugar or?
My go-to basic recipe is usually as you’ve mentioned, 250 butter and 500g sugar with a spoon or two of milk or cream.
But most times I don’t follow that exact measurements because I add other things like melted marshmallows or white chocolate to it, I then reduce the icing sugar a bit.
Thank you for watching ♥️
