How To Make Perfectly Smooth American Buttercream Frosting - The Scran Line

  • Опубликовано: 5 май 2020
  • OK, this frosting is in direct response to all the people who message me asking for frosting that isn’t too sweet or grainy. If that’s what you’re after, then this frosting is for you! This frosting looks silky, which makes it perfect for frosting smooth cakes. Just be careful though, because it can be a little softer than American buttercream frosting which is firmer. So, if it’s a warm day, I’d use American buttercream frosting instead.

    You always manage to teach me/us something new... Going to make some salted carmel buttercream asap !!!
    Nick could you please do a video about adding choclate to recipes. Mostly which kind of chocolate to add or use in what. For example, sometimes when adding cocoa to a buttercream some people add powder like you showed here. But some bakers also add a melted & cooled chocolate. I just wonder what is the best to use ? Ghirardelli coating choclate ? Bakers chocolate or choclate chips ??
    A what is best to use for what recipes. Its hard to know what to buy from the store b/c when youtubers do a video and use melted choclate they usually dont show what form it was in before melting.... Bars/chips or does it matter?? Or should i say when does it matter ?🤔🤦lol

    • @thescranline
      @thescranline  4 года назад +5

      So I use powdered cocoa powder for my ABC, because it already has powdered sugar so adding something else that is powdered is ok. With my Swiss meringue buttercream though I add melted and slightly cooled chocolate (chocolate chips or chocolate buttons usually use nestle brand) because you want to keep that buttercream really smooth and not add anything powdered to it. Does that make sense? I just uploaded the video, check it out and let me know what you think :) N x

    Hi
    Does this frosting have the gritty taste that most American buttercreams have ? I like the taste of ABC but not the gritty crusting texture and want to know if there is a way around that. Thanks

    • @flamingfox3273
      @flamingfox3273 4 года назад

      @Maria Bari
      It should. Usually grittiness comes from not using icing sugar or powdered sugar, or not having soft enough butter.

    • @thescranline
      @thescranline  4 года назад +2

      ABC will always have some grittiness but there are things you can do to make it a little less gritty like sifting the powdered sugar or adding milk. If you're looking for a super smooth frosting check out my latest video on how to make Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting! It's so delicious!

Some do it more than others. Try different brands and if you cant get rid of it with the wilton white icing gel then try adding a tiny bit of purple gel food coloring. Its a trick i have seen & now tried myself. It makes the icing appear more white. Truly. Its worth a try. It works ... 👌👌👌👌
