    Whether you are frosting a cake or piping decorations, the consistency of your buttercream icing is key to getting the right results. Too soft and your decorations will droop. Too stiff and your icing will be difficult to spread.

    Stiff consistency -> medium consistency, add 1 tsp of liquid per cup of icing.
    Stiff consistency -> thin consistency, add 2 tsp of liquid per cup of icing (use corn syrup instead for writing or drawing lines as it gives elasticity)

    How about the taste? Meaning the stiffer the consistency the sweeter it is because of the icing sugar?

    what is shortening? the butter? or is it an oil that is used? shorthening in the UK tends to be beef fat?

    • @wilton
      @wilton  8 месяцев назад +1

      Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature. It would be separate from the butter, but if you do not have shortening at your local retailer, you can use one full cup of butter instead of 1/2 a cup of butter and 1/2 a cup of shortening.

    How much corn syrup to add for one cup of shortening

    • @wilton
      @wilton  10 дней назад

      It would be two teaspoons per 1 cup of Buttercream Icing. Here is the link to the instructions: blog.wilton.com/buttercream-frosting-consistency/

    • @cherryberry9468
      @cherryberry9468 5 лет назад

      You add a pinch of salt or use salted butter. It’s mentioned in the video with the buttercream recipe.

    Can I use vegetable margarine instead of shortening

    • @BeautifullyBrokenBae
      @BeautifullyBrokenBae 5 лет назад

      Personally I never tried it with vegetable margarine. I’m sure it would work however with any butter you r margarine frostings caution melting. They are not the best in warm temperatures

    • @wilton
      @wilton  5 лет назад

      Hi! To achieve proper piping consistency, we do not recommend substituting shortening for margarine as the buttercream will be too soft. You can read more about shortening and what can be used as a substitute on our blog post here: bit.ly/2KY3qBW Thanks for watching!

      And that's why your decorations melt as soon as the day gets too warm.

    • @sakura1701
      @sakura1701 6 лет назад +7

      I work in a custome cake bakery, ours never melts even the middle of the summer. if you get the right consitency its fine. unless you have you cakes in a window or you know in the sun which you shouldnt anyways. Shortning makes the buttercream taste cheep, fake and greasy.

    • @sakura1701
      @sakura1701 6 лет назад +3

      Copped_anODY real butter. I'd much rather a real high quality taste and flavor than an oily texture and fake manufacture flavor that makes me think it was bought from a tub in a cheap decorating isle at Walmart.

      Para cambiar la consistencia de rígido a mediano añade 1 cucharadita de líquido por cada copa o si es frosting blanco añade 2 cucharadas por cada copa. Para cambiar la consistencia a fina, añade 2 cucharaditas por cada copa o si es blanco hasta 4 cucharadas. El líquido puede ser agua o leche. También puede añadir sirope de maíz claro para darle elasticidad cuando está utilizándolo para hacer líneas o escribir sin que se rompa las líneas. El rígido se usa para prepara decoraciones como rosas dimensionales, el mediano para cubrir el bizcocho o decoración de rosettes o estrellitas y el fino para líneas y para escribir.
