Finally someone who explained how to make buttercream. Best tutorial on buttercream. Please keep them coming I just came across your channel and was happy to see a step by step tutorial.
😍thank you so much dear. Comments like yours makes my day. I try to explain things as easy as possible so that a beginner can understand and follow the steps to achieve the best results. Peace and love Faryal
I love your tutorials. I wish there were more. I would like to request an Italian Merengue tutorial for a 12 inch cake or for a three tiered wedding cake
I’m going to make it today. Ur recipe is just perfect I always watch ur video again just to make sure I don’t skip any important step. Plz give recipe of cream cheese buttercream like we eat in Lola’s cupcakes n cakes. Thank you. ❤️
You can’t leave it in hot weather for longer. If refrigerated well then it can hold for couple of hours. Also depends how hot the weather is. In London it’s usually not too hot so it works without refrigeration. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Sister at Peace I prefer making it when I am about to assemble the cake or need to pipe the cupcakes. I don’t make it in advance. But you can if you want. Problem is you will have to refrigerate and when you will take it out you will have to leave it to soften a bit then beat it. So that’s like double the work. It’s better you make it at the spot takes less than 5min. Plus I have noticed in the fridge it absorbs the smell of the food. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Can this buttercream be used for the crumb coat? I’m intending to pipe using a large petal nozzle after the crumb. Would I need a different consistency of buttercream for it to hold its shape? Many thanks
Asalam alikum sister actually I want to ask the butter cream will nt b pure white little bit yellow shade so how to make white we shud add white colour
Nikfi Channel you might have to add a bit more icing sugar. But see if hat happens after adding the colour. Don’t add any other liquid in your buttercream if using water based colours. If you think buttercream gets too soft add a bit more icing sugar. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
This is me JANVI not blender but you can use the hand held beater. It’s not very expensive. Probably invest in one and it will be used in many of your baking. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Question: Did you add the milk when it was still a little warm? Does that help to have it warm? Thanks for your videos. Your upside down method for icing the cake is the best video I've seen with that technique.
@@Scrumptiouscakesbyfairy So can you explain why you heat it up? Is it just so it's not cold or is there a reason to bring the temp up before it cools down to room temp.
Carrie Wetsch yes off course there is a reason dear. Raw milk contains some bacteria and microorganisms which makes it’s shelf life short So by boiling the milk you are increasing it’s shelf life and Its good for health and safety. Same goes for ganache we boil the cream not just to melt the chocolate in it but to kill the bacteria so that we can keep it out of the fridge for longer. Hope that makes sense ? Thank you Peace and love Faryal
If cake stays in air conditioned room and refrigerated well then it will be fine. But if you will expose it to direct heat it will start melting. Hope this helps Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Hi thank you for sharing your recipe and method. Just a question please regarding the amount of milk you added, I hot a bit confused in the recipe you wrote 2tbsp and in the video you added 4tbsp, I know you said you wanted it softer, my question is if you only added 2tbsp will it still good to pipe on cupcakes? Will it hold better? Thank you xx
It’s not compulsory. It’s depends what consistency you need for your buttercream then you add milk according to that. In hot countries I don’t feel the need to add milk. In Dubai I never added milk to my buttercream but in London I do as the butter never get too soft.
Your tutorial is amazing. I have a small question. How to melt the butter to room temperature? it is really hard to melt the butter in the winter season.
erandi pathirana I try to keep near the stove while cooking so it can get some heat in cold winter days. Or you can also keep it near a heater. But make sure you don’t melt it. You just need the soft butter not melted butter. So if you poke the butter it should leave an indent but should still be little firm. If that makes sense? Melting it or making it too soft will ruin the buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Thank you for your video, it is so well explained. If using the buttercream to fill a tiered cake how do you stop the filling from bulging out the sides as I sometimes find this happens to my cake after I have covered it with fondant
It happens if the buttercream is too soft or if the weather is hot. Usually in summers I refrigerate the cake after filling for about 15mins so that the buttercream is slightly firm then I do the outer covering of the cake either with buttercream or ganache. I mostly use ganache for that reason as it sets hard and less chances of getting a bulge. I do have a ganache tutorial as well do give it a try. Hope this helps x Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Thank you for such a great tutorial. Always wanted to make my own buttercream. I want to know if the result will be the same if I use a vegan “butter” since I have dairy allergies. Again, thank you.
Hi, it’s hard to catch the color on the video. Does this turnout white or more yellow from the butter? Any tips to make white? I want to decorate with it... thanks
I use either president butter or lurpak to make the buttercream the reason being when you whip these two buttercream for a little longer it goes very pale unlike other butters which can be very yellowish. It’s kind of off white colour not super white. For super white buttercream you will have to add whitner or white gel colour into the buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Hi faryal m new in ur channel ur cakes r so perfect mashallah... just want to ask m living in muscat oman 🇴🇲 here is very hot weather is this recipe will be useful or hve to add shortening ? Plz guide m a beginner
I have used the same recipe when I was in Dubai. If you refrigerate the cake until the buttercream set and then travel in an air conditioned car or leave it in an air conditioned house it will be fine.
@@eqradoll7893 yes you can but using buttercream underneath fondant is very challenging. on the the other hand, ganache is better for outer coverage of the cake if you need to cover the cake with fondant
How do I get dark shade of colour like red royal blue and so on. My colours are not always dark, the more I add colour the thinner my butter cream. Please help
Sparkles Creation468 you have to use good professional brands gel colours like Wilton and sugarflair gel colour paste. Do not use liquid colouring and a big not super market brands. Try to find a cake decorating shop who stocks professional brands for baking and decorating cakes. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
HotMess if you double this recipe it will cover and fill 3 layers 8” cake. One recipe is enough to fill between the three layers of cake then another batch to cover the outside. Exact quantity depends on the amount you use to fill and how thick you wanna do the outer buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Unfortunately the buttercream made from real butter would not hold up in super hot weather. When I was in Dubai i used keep the cake refrigerated and only used to take it out half an hour before the cutting .
If you use margarine then it wouldn’t be called buttercream instead you will call it frosting. I don’t recommend using margarine because it doesn’t set hard in the fridge and goes super soft in hot weather however butter holds its shape for longer and sets hard in the fridge. If you see my video on icing the cake with sharp edges you will see i put my cake in the fridge to set. So I have to use butter. Hope that makes sense Thank you Faryal
Hi Faryal, I really enjoy your tutorials. I have a small question. How to find the exact kg amount of cake batter for different baking pan sizes. Some pans have the same diameter but height is different. How do I solve this problem?
I don’t work with weight so no idea about kg. The recipe I use is enough to make a 3 layer 8” round cake. I just divide the batter in 3 pans to make 3 separate layers. I use the recipe to fill between the 3 layers of cake. I double the recipe if I cover the outside with buttercream as well. I mostly use ganache for the outside covering. Hope this answer your query Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Hi I love your videos, I am going to be making a 3 sponge 8” cake for my niece. The recipe for your buttercream would that be enough for that size of cake? Or would I need to double the recipe? I look forward to hearing back from you Bev
If you would have seen my buttercream sharp edges video and you wanna fill and Cover the cake with the same amount of buttercream then you will have to double the recipe. If you have any leftover you can freeze it so nothing goes waste. Next time you need just thaw and beat it and it will be good to use. I hope i answered your question x Thank you Peace and love Faryal
aisha masood you mean for the fondant cakes ? Underneath the fondant ? Yes you can crumbcoat and ice the cake with buttercream and then with fondant. However I highly recommend using ganache for crumbcoating as it sets hard Amadea makes it easier to cover with fondant. You can find ganache tutorial on my channel too. Hope this helps Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Unfortunately we don’t get the butter sticks here in UK. We only get a 250gm block. So I have no idea how many grams is the stick. So sorry. Check the weight of the stick. We need 250gm of butter to make this recipe.
It totally depends how much buttercream you put on your cake. It’s a personal preference. I personally double this recipe to fill and cover a 3 layer 8” cake.
Pinoys Outside Pinas as it is butter based recipe it will melt in heat. What I do is I refrigerate the cake before it goes out for delivery so it wouldn’t melt away straight away. It will take time to get back to room temperature so by the time it will be eaten it will be perfect. If you don’t wanna refrigerate the cake than put the cake in an air conditioned room and it will be fine. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
Hi faryal! I live at a place where butter is very expensive and not easily available... the only option is using margarine. You mentioned to not use baking spread or margarine. Why is that?
Sakina k I wouldn’t recommend using margarine or spread in buttercream. If you see my other video on frosting the cake then you would know I put my cake in the fridge for buttercream to set. It gives it sharp and clean finish. However if I use margarine it wouldn’t set hard in the fridge. You can make it though if you aren’t too fussed about the finish. But to follow my sharp edges tutorial you need to use the buttercream made from real butter. Hope this helps Peace and love Faryal
Thanks Faryal for your comment and explaining it so well. For me i think margarine is the only option for now.. i have used it to make cupcake frosting etc.. will let u know when i start baking cakes
We don’t work with weight so I really don’t know what size is 2 pound cake. This is enough for a 6” cake. If that helps. You can freeze the leftover buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
No you don’t need any meringue powder or salt. If you like salty buttercream then use salted butter. I prefer unsalted so as my customers. It’s a simple buttercream so I don’t add much to it. People add meringue powder to stabilise the consistency. In that case you can use the royal icing sugar instead of icing sugar but that will change the texture of buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal
chiagoziem nnubia yes definitely. I do have a video where I have used this buttercream for covering the cake. Please have a look at my video of sharp edges with buttercream. Thank you Peace and love Faryal

Hi, could you please tell me how much of this recipe would i need to cover and fill a 2-layer 8"x2" cake and 12 cupcakes?
HotMess if you double this recipe it will cover and fill 3 layers 8” cake. One recipe is enough to fill between the three layers of cake then another batch to cover the outside. Exact quantity depends on the amount you use to fill and how thick you wanna do the outer buttercream.

Is this good for hot weather?
To be honest any buttercream will melt in hot weather. I refrigerate my cakes before travelling.
What type of milk did you use?
Boiled Full fat milk but cooled down. Do not add warm milk. Unboiled milk will reduce its shelf life.
hi,Can icing sugar be used for baking cakes?
erandi pathirana you mean in cake batters ?
yes. for vanilla or chocolate cake batter
I haven’t tried myself in cakes but should be ok.

But to follow my sharp edges tutorial you need to use the buttercream made from real butter.
Hope this helps
Peace and love

Scrumptious cakes by fairy thank you so much Faryal x
Is this stable for the cupcake
maricel de silva yes absolutely.
How much butter did you use?
1 block of 250gm
Is this enough for 2 pond cake???
We don’t work with weight so I really don’t know what size is 2 pound cake. This is enough for a 6” cake. If that helps. You can freeze the leftover buttercream.
Thank you
Peace and love

What kind is this vanilla extract? It look like syrup
Yes this dr oetkar vanilla extract is like a syrup consistency.
What about margarine instead of butter?
You have to use real butter not margarine.
hiya can I add colour?
Yes of course you can.
The Wilton buttercream requires meringue powder and salt. Do I need to add either of them to your buttercream recipe?
No you don’t need any meringue powder or salt. If you like salty buttercream then use salted butter. I prefer unsalted so as my customers. It’s a simple buttercream so I don’t add much to it. People add meringue powder to stabilise the consistency. In that case you can use the royal icing sugar instead of icing sugar but that will change the texture of buttercream.
Thank you
Peace and love

My mixer is acting up. Can I possibly do this without a mixer?
Utomobong Nsebot you need either stand mixer or hand held electric beater. Otherwise it wouldn’t be light and fluffy.
Thank you
