    I learned from Global Sugar Art to use popcorn salt in buttercream frosting to cut the sweetness. Not regular salt for it is to grainy. I hope this helps. I also shorting and butter flavoring to get the butter taste because my grandson couldn’t eat milk products. It taste great. I am not trying to take anything away from this video for it is definitely informative!

    Butter is rich in color if it is actual grass fed cow butter. If it is very light in color this is the cheap cheap butter at the store. Have to say if you are wanting a white Buttercream look, go for the cheap stuff, no one will know and you can add some Americolor white ( will not take much) and your Buttercream will be very white. If you use the really good "KerryGold" or Euro butters, even if you whip it and whip it good ( hahaha ) it will not get as light as the cheap stuff and will take a LOT of white gel color to get the frosting white...Save the headache and buy the cheap stuff...No grass fed butter...
    Have to add this: In USA ALWAYS buy C&H powder sugar if at the grocery to insure that you are getting powder sugar and NOT the Corn starch filled powder sugar. There are no regulations on how much Corn starch can be added in to sugar as a filler in the USA. So, this is a full proof way to insure you are getting yummy powder sugar unless you make your own :D

    • @BritishGirlBakes
      @BritishGirlBakes  3 года назад

      @@KingdomLifeDec yes, you can add buttercream accents but since whipped cream isn't as strong and stable as buttercream, you'll have to keep the weight of the buttercream decorations to a minimum so that they don't slide down the cake, especially if the cake is going to be out of the fridge for a long time.
      I haven't tried mixing buttercream and whipped cream but you can use whipping cream (from the bottle/carton, not yet whipped) to thin out buttercream instead of adding milk to thin it out.

    @tarnishedknight730 7 месяцев назад

    Speaking as someone with hearing difficulties, please hang some sheets or light blankets out of frame to cut down on the echo from all the flat hard surfaces that surround you. The echo makes it extremely hard to understand you.
    As fast as you talk, it's rather hard to keep up with you. Add to that, the way you trail off (get quieter and quieter), you are really making hard for those of us with hearing problem to follow you.
    For the haters... I have my hearing aids in, they are adjusted properly. I can hear and understand everything else around me, except this video. So I doubt that the problem is on my end.
    Kitchens are often the place where cooks and bakers make videos. Kitchens are also a room with scores, even hundreds of hard, flat surfaces, this makes them easy to clean. But the hard flat surfaces reflect sound waves incredibly well. This results in scores, even hundreds, of echos, all at slightly different times, hitting the microphone... making it hard to hear for anyone, and extremely hard for anyone with less than perfect hearing.
    The speaker tends not to notice this as their own voice overpowers their hearing. And when they listen to the recording, they know what they said and their brain filters what they hear so it sounds normal.
    So please, use another room that doesn't echo as bad, or temporarily hang some sheets to cut down the echo. And slowing your speech down a tad would not be a horrible thing, either.
    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I just watched this video in its entirety and have no idea what you were talking about.
    Hope this helps.
