Fantastic explation of how to adjust the buttercream depending on what you are using it for. I have seen a design of your cake that is perfect for my mum. Fingers crossed it turns out OK 🤔🤔🤞🙏
Just found your recipe and can't wait to try it. Is this the kind of buttercream that remains soft whether using it for frosting or decorating, or does it crust over. I remember as a kid the local bakeries had totally soft finish to their borders and flowers. Thanks for your great videos.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I knew my consistency was wrong…..the tail of my roses were frayed….but I didn’t know what to do. Sounds like I need to thicken. I’m like the tip about using corn starch! Going to try this!
Hey Whitney. Love your cakes thank you for sharing so much! I am wondering if you can recommend a hand mixer? I don't quite have the room for a stand mixer.
I think this is probably the recipe you directed me to the other day when I mentioned I had problems with my piping. I feel like your BC recipe is sweet enough so I’m wanting to try the cornstarch instead of more powdered sugar. Does the cornstarch need to be sifted first? Thanks!
I wrote with my butter cream on a cake and the next day the letter color kind of transfered(there was like stains around the letters) , how do you prevent that?
Hi there! I'm so sorry I didn't reply in time for the party but next time here's a heat stable version of my vanilla buttercream recipe: sugarandsparrow.com/buttercream-recipe-for-hot-weather/
Thank you so much for this video. I was just asking you avout this simple style buttercream vs the meringue kind. As far as texture, could you explain how to tell if a buttercream is "over mixed" ?
Hii, how can i have bright colored buttercream? And deep dark black colored buttercream? No matter how many i put for the gel color it will stay pale. 😔
Maybe it's your butter because if you let it sit out for too long it can be melted and you don't want that for the buttercream. Maybe try sitting the butter out for an hour.
Thank God u posted this, thank you. My petals kept sinking and it was driving me nuts!

Did it work?
Thank you!!! Making pupcakes & my icing wasn’t holding!! Going to try medium to stiff consistency ❤
What rato of butter to icing sugar do I need to have a good frosting
So if I were to add 1 cup of Powdered Sugar, would I add the remaining amount with corn starch to minimize sweetness. Or do you add less corn starch?
If I use heavy whipping cream instead of milk for my buttercream does it have to be room temp or can it be cold?

How do you get your buttercream to look so smooth without air bubbles when you coat your cake ?
Dip your offset spatula or comb into hot water before smoothing!!

My cupcakes stuck to my parchment paper after 'cooling' them - was that too thick?

My butter cream always seems to melt:( any tips for that? What temp is your frosting? Thanks
