Have you turned vegan? I haven't seen anyone post so much vegan baking recipes. Thank you so much😘
thanks yes explanation in the description below the video
Love the music on this one. Definitely going to try this recipe out. I find that my biggest issue with vegan buttercream is the stiffness/ fluffiness, but this looks like a cloud!
thanks! and it's nice to see you again my friend! :)
Got to try this vegan Buttercream recipe. It looks so yummy, & fluffy. I like your vegan recipes, & Now I;m going to try this icing.
Thanks so much for sharing all your videos Gretchen. As always you are the best.
Hope everything works out for you again. I'm praying for you lady.
God Bless you.
Happy Valentines day!
You are awesome! thankyou!!
I made this for my son’s birthday cake since he has so many food allergies. It is the best buttercream frosting I’ve ever made! I can’t wait to try your other buttercream recipes. Thank you so very much!!!!
Did you get th e butter to room temp?
Yes
Thank you for the fabulous recipe! We are not vegan but we do keep a strict kosher diet and that often means no dairy! This helps us have our cake and eat it too!
Great! thanks!!!
Awesome tips. Definitely need to try some more vegan stuff 😄
thanks Brad!
Ahh you have the best timing! I needed a buttercream recipe to fill some macarons. Do you include shortening just for stability?
awesome! Yes I love the addition of the Hi Ratio shortening but you can use all vegan butter
Omg Sarah I love your recipes too!

hi gretchen ,i love you & love your recipies may i ask can i used this recipe ln hot weather & make roses & flower
what could you use to replace buttercream in a recipe? i love your videos!
hi. I was just wondering if you could possibly upload the videos from the bakery. not only were they entertaining but the recipes were amazing. just wondering.
Hi. I love your channel! I’ve tried this recipe twice and I love the texture but I’m finding it too salty for my taste. Is there any remedy for the saltiness?
Just became vegan thanks for this recipe
excellent thank YOU for watching!
Thanks for making vegan things!
thank you for watching !
Holy flip - you're amazing!! 😳😬👍🎉🎉❤️
Oh Gretchen I hope you can help. I’ve been making your Swiss Buttercream for as long as I can remember and today I’ve made 4 batches and they were all soupy. I don’t know if it was the butter, the shortening or the egg whites but there is nothing I’ve changed from all my successes. I just sat down and cried because it was for a birthday cake for a friend who doesn’t like overly sweet buttercream and yours was just right. I’m so frustrated after 4 batches I should have found the problem. I made sure everything was right, egg whites stiff and bowl cool, butter and shortening at room temperature, all ingredients fresh. Nice cool day middle of winter so I’m at a loss. I gave up and I’m in a puddle of my own tears as soupy as the mix 😢
Oh no how frustrating! It's the worse when you are making a recipe you have made for years and all of the sudden it is not working out!! The first thing I would look to is the butter. I am assuming you are using cow butter since you are also using egg whites??
I only use vegan butter and this is the #1 culprit for my buttercreams to start acting strange! Depending on the moisture content of the butter it is what will make or break the recipe - literally!

@@GretchensVeganBakery oh you are so sweet for replying especially now that you only use vegan products for your recipes so it was rather a long shot that you even responded. For that I am very grateful. It is the butter, I remembered I changed butters because in Australia the butter is very yellow it’s difficult to get a white buttercream (just icing sugar and butter) no matter how long you whip it so I changed to a Danish butter which is a paler yellow and that probably has a higher moisture content. At least I know that now so thank you for your response and I’m very inspired by your journey, good luck on the rest of it😊
would you happen to have an awesome vegan macaron recipe please? :-)
By the way, Her buttercream it is AMAZING!
thanks!! :)
Yyeeessss!!
Hi, the Hi-ratio shortening is unavailable in my aera. Do you think I can replace it with coconut cream ? Would the effect be quite the same ?
Looks amazing! How do I make this into chocolate buttercream?! :) thanks!!
thanks! click here for how (its a different base buttercream recipe but same concept and amounts apply) www.gretchensbakery.com/chocolate-buttercream/
Do you know how to make avocado frosting?
Looks good! Have you ever considered being a instructor Gretchen? I definitely would signup.
thanks! I have, but Im not quite there! We'll see what the future has for me though!
hey gretchen do u think u could do a half of a basketball cake?? im trying to do one and every recipe i try comes out wrong. btw i follow everything it tells me
That looks wonderful. I have never seen vegan butter before Gretchen. What's it made of?
thanks Ange it just used vegan butter not real butter thats all
Gretchen's Bakery ok I've never seen vegan butter
ya da Vegan bomb!!!
This sounds great and I've got all the ingredients in the house with a birthday cake coming due. How long will it keep fresh if i refrigerate it?
a month!
Gretchen's Bakery really glad you put your immense talents into making healthy, animal loving, planet loving, delicious baking!
Who knew it was so easy?? Wow.......Gretchen, I love your channel...I've watched you for quite sometime...I remember the old kitchen where you used to film....
This doesn't look much different than my regular buttercream....Can you tell me,...Does this taste really good?? Will people be able to tell that it is vegan , by tasting it? I don't know much about vegan foods....Thank you....
yes easy for sure! I love this icing, and everyone I have given it to has been surprised it is vegan. Does it taste good? Taste good is preference so you will have to try for yourself!
Hey Gretchen I've been your subscriber since the time you were doing crumb boss, I just wanted to say I literally sticked with you since the beginning and until now I'm pretty amazed on how much you accomplished , I used to miss the set you did in ur new place you went to after you sold your bakery and now you're in Florida. I'm just kind of disappointed that all of your new recipes are now vegan , I don't mind vegan and have made vegan food before but it kind of broke my heart to see that you literally changed your videos and what you make. I grew up with your regular non vegan recipes 😂 but anyways good luck and keep moving forward on RUclips! :)
HI Thank you for the support!!
Very good recipe , I use this one a lot. You mentioned that you used to have a bakery and I remember some of your videos productions shoots at the bakery. May I be so bold as to ask what happened to the bakery ? I think it was your husband that used to hold the camera when you did the videos....
HI Yes thanks, I sold my bakery in 2014 and the guy you speak of,he was not my husband though, just was a business partner in the video business I created after I sold the bakery, now he is an Ex Biz partner and I started www.gretchensbakery.com solo
Idk if you'll see this comment, but is it okay to use regular shortening?
Can you do an vegan aqua faba buttercream frosting recipe?
yes click here www.gretchensbakery.com/aquafaba-swiss-buttercream-recipe/
Hi gretch. I love your book. However I'm in the UK and we don't have vegan butter. What alternative can I use. We have a margarine! Xxx
Amber Roberts thank you!! Yes. Margarine
Can i use an electric whisk?
Does this freeze well
could u please share a recipe for modelling choclate and more breads pls🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
raymen soin I believe it's 3 parts white chocolate to one part heavy cream.
How much time ...we can store it
Gretchen, we dont have vegan butter sticks. Can I use all shortening (sweetex flex is what I use) or the smart/earth balance margerine in the tub instead?
yes to both! Use a combo!
I have difficulties finding shortening here in Europe (unless, I am not looking for the right thing); would it work with deodarized coconut fat?
Im not sure what that is exactly but click here for more www.gretchensbakery.com/substitutions-i-dont-have-that-in-my-country/
Looking into this icing makes me wonder if you could use Crisco. I'm guessing not since I didn't see it as an alt mentioned in the comments or the blog. Also how does this hold up with roses? I'm assuming that the buttercream that you were using to make the roses in the video was this one? Have you seen vegan icing sugar in the stores?
Yes you can use Crisco, since Crisco is a solid vegetable shortening, however I dont recommend it becuase it will keave a heavy greasy mouth feel.
If you can get a Hi Ratio shortening it is the best for any icing recipe and yes to roses with this recipe
Vegan icing sugar in stores, No I order it online
amzn.to/2n5bwLM
Thank you!
Hey! I don't know where you are, but I live in Vancouver, Canada and here at Walmart you can buy Red Path Icing Sugar (and other sugars) that are all vegan because they are not processed with bone char.
Gretchen when you went to the Culinary Institute of America how much did it cost? I am asking this because in my class in middle school we have to do a project on what career we want and I chose pastry chef, also did you ever go to college to get a business degree?
Hi sure thing, 20 years ago it was $36,000 for 2 years After my loans were paid I ended up paying total $56,000
I did not get a business degree
Does the texture of this buttercream most resemble your American buttercream or the Swiss meringue? Thanks! :)
this is the American Buttercream just using vegan butter instead of real butter
I do not find it to be gritty
Can you overwhip earth balance? I've made lots of buttercreams with it before but the most recent time last week, I combined earth balance, organic veggie shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla like normal but it ended up being an extremely loose icing at room temperature which doesn't really make sense since it's so chilly inside my apartment these days. Anyway I was wondering if the earth balance could lose its structure if overwhipped and separate? Any thoughts?
yes it could for sure, any "emulsion" can break under certain circumstances
www.gretchensveganbakery.com/re-whipping-buttercream-save-failed-buttercream/
Is there an alternative to vegetable shortening? Can I add more icing sugar? Thanks
_T_ __ all vegan butter
Ty! Does it is stable for tiers cake?
Yes!!
which vegan butter would you recommend best?
I prefer Earth Balance
Sorry did'nt know where to post this question ,I made the American Buttercream frosting what was left I put in freezer brought it out to thaw to use now can I refreeze it ? Thank you
Esmeralda Cano hi yes, I have done that with no problem
@@GretchensVeganBakery Thank you for answering me so fast.
Second! (nobody beats Byron lol)
it's so true! Byron is my man! LOL
Hi Gretchen! Can I skip the shortening?
Yes, replace with all vegan butter
Can we use solid coconut oil instead of vegetable shortening?
I have not had luck with that since Coconut Oil is either too hard (&chunky) or it is literally melting the minute you look at it! Feel free to try but I have had terrible results using it
Have you ever tried it with just veg shortening? How does it come out?
vegan butter is essentially shortening, but it has a much better taste than straight up shortening. So yes you can use it, but the butter taste really comes from the vegan butter (I like Earth balance the best)
Hi Gretchen! I have a question: you say that you use vegan powdered sugar. Can powdered sugar not be vegan?
HI! Yes it is true! Ugggh they just want to use dead animals in everything it is insane!! Some sugars are processed using Bones from animals... its bizzarre...
Is the shorting really needed could you just use a dairy free butter ?
Shortening is only needed for stability~ if you need this cake to sit out for hours (like at a wedding outdoors for example) but I almost never use shortening anymore since my cakes don't stick around long at all!
I have updated the website with all of this new information re: No Shortening in the buttercream.
So the short answer (after my long answer LOL) Is NO You don't need it & yes just more vegan butter!
www.gretchensveganbakery.com/no-shortening-buttercream-recipe/
can we use soy milk or almond milk? you said milk alternative so not sure if you mean that we can't use any plant milk. just not cow or animal milk right?
ye correct, any milk you like. The original recipe was using heavy cream, so I like to use the thickest of the milk alternatives and that for me is Oat or Soy
Why do we need shortening..is it must ?
No, I rarely use shortening anymore, it helps for stability with a heavily decorated cake, or high temperatures, but you can use all vegan butter
What brand vegan butter do you use? I made a buttercream using Earth Balance and I don’t care for the taste, it’s too salty.
I agree the earth balance is salty! Ive emailed them and asked that they make an unsalted version! (LOL with no reply!) but they do make one that is harder to find that is a soy free one, I believe that one is less salt or no salt. But you can use margarine too if you can find one with no milk it it!
Can I use just a electric hand mixer
yes
I looked at the recipe linked and it also asks for butter extract but in your video you just put vanilla extra. Which one is correct?
Hey thanks! The written post is always correct!
@@GretchensVeganBakeryThank you.
When do you add the butter flavoring?
Last, with the vanilla extract
@@GretchensVeganBakery om awesome. How much?
Do you prefer this buttercream to your vegan Swiss Buttercream?
I do because this one is super stable, however the AF Swiss is less sweet
How do u know its vegan butter? What should i look for in the ingredient listing
No dairy in the ingredients at all. Margarine is a good example of "vegan butter" I use Earth balance brand, but there are quite a few on the market now. On the package, there will be a little D in a circle if it DOES have dairy in it
Gretchen's Bakery thank you margarine is available in my country
What about amount for the ingredients???
all clickable links for the written printable recipe ~ below the video
Mmh...
What is the difference between vegan butter and shortening ?
(I'm a foreigner I'm trying to find equivalent product.)
vegan butter is like margarine, which quite honestly is like shortening there is not much difference in INGREDIENTS, but in taste yes definitely.
is there a vegan fondant?
I believe Satin Ice is vegan
I've made this with Crisco because I could not find Hi Ratio shortening here. I don't think this want supposed to be made with Crisco because it tasted awful.. I'm so sad. LETS TRY AGAIN... Find me some better shortening.
Yes the crisco is definitely a last resort, and since I have an impossible time getting hi ratio shortening...
But I have also made this will ALL VEGAN BUTTER since vegan butter is essentially shortening afterall.
@@GretchensVeganBakery I will try that! AND make the aquafaba Swiss buttercream, so I can compare. I also made your vegan vanilla cake and the batter was delicious! (cakes are in the freezer until I find the best buttercream to go with it)...
When I was whipping it turned liquidy??
click here for an in-depth look www.gretchensveganbakery.com/re-whipping-buttercream-save-failed-buttercream/
Gretchen's Bakery It worked yay! Apparently I used the smart balance instead of earth balance oops haha
but its verry sweet i cant eat it
If I put this in the fridge will it turn liquidy?
no will be fine
Gretchen's Bakery thanks
Gretchen's Bakery when did you become vegan? I think its awesome :) Im just curious. And why ethical? Environment? Or health
Almost 2 years ago, I've been including this explanation in the description below my videos for those who are surprised, since before then I had been doing traditional baking:
I have been vegan for a while now and I have been super conflicted with my channel not being in alignment with my life and my beliefs I am transitioning my channel/blog to align with my beliefs, I have been veg for 8+ years and have been in severe conflict here on my channel and when I owned my bakery by promoting the exploited animal industry, so I finally "got off the fence" and decided to stop being a hypocrite and follow my heart and soul passion.
I understand not everyone cares to be open to this kind of baking
(although I have been making some of my BEST recipes more recently!)
So I hope and wish that folks will be open minded and give me the same understanding for following my heart.
This has not been the case 100% so far, as I have sadly been met with anger and hatred
However others have been showing tremendous support and encouragement. I hope you will at least give it a chance. :)
I will not eliminate my old recipes and will still help you all with baking of any kind just like always!

Hi, sweet adorable Gretchen. That buttecream looks beautiful like you. What do you love about Christmas tree shaped projects? Have a good day, sweet adorable Gretchen. 💖💖💖
Hi Byron! Thank youuuuuuu!
diabetic
I really miss the old channel although adding more options is good too, I miss the old ways.
you're links for. original & veganrecipes can not be found.
Hi Thank you for letting me know, I transitioned my life & business to full vegan in early 2016.
I kept the non vegan website open and free to everyone with continued baking support for nearly 4 years after that
but ultimately had to shut it down in late 2019 as it was conflicting me emotionally & financially for that many years.
I no longer share non vegan recipes but I would love it if you would try my vegan recipes here,
As always I would only share a recipe that is perfection, so you can bet that is the case here too!
@@GretchensVeganBakery I have been plant based vegan for many years & I too am a baker. I’m always looking & listening & learning. I stumbled across your video & was interested. I thought the site was to your vegan info. And good for you on your transition. So is this channel where you do your vegan videos or is there another link for that? Thanks for responding.
Hey there, so everything is vegan, my RUclips channel is now entirely vegan. The non vegan website was shut down in 2019 as it was conflicting me emotionally & financially for several years. I got lots of flack for that but I could no longer advertise or promote the very industry that I reject, so I now have ONLY A VEGAN WEBSITE all recipes are here www.gretchensveganbakery.com/
