Thanks everyone! Even the people poo-pooing the unhealthiness of the cupcake. Cupcakes made from scratch using natural ingredients are not particularly unhealthy unless you eat a helluva a lot in one go! The odd treat every once in a while as part of a balanced diet, is unlikely to cause major damage. I hope you all have a go at this and get great results. If you have any questions, let me know and I'll try and answer them as best I can x
Ingredients (I know it's so basic but just to make it easier)
200g soft butter
450g sifted icing sugar
2 tablespoons of milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
:)
U are amazing! Saw ur comment on other videos and so thank youuu
Life saver thank you for doing my homework 😂😂
Whats the different between vanilla essence and vanilla extract?
no one Vanilla extract is made from soaking vanilla pods in alcohol. It's a natural product. Vanilla essence is synthetic and in the amount you would need of it would make you're frosting or whatever to taste bad. :) Vanilla extract is the way to go :D
Celia Øyna thanks for the quick reply!
Soft butter is butter which is soft! As in, not fridge cold but squeezable. If you live in a not-too-hot country, leaving it out for a few hours or overnight should do the trick. It is entirely up to you whether you use salted or unsalted but I prefer unsalted, personally. x
You're welcome! That's why it's my favourite!
That smile alone will bring in viewers. And the secret cupcake tech will probably make them stay forever.
So its:
200 gr butter
450 gr icing sugar
2 table spoon milk
1.2 tea spoon vanilla extract
enjoy it
thank you ! ♡
THANK U DEAR FELLA ;w;
can I use refined sugar?

If by "refined", you mean granulated white sugar, of course you can. It'll take a bit more whipping to dissolve, though. Run it through a food processor or blender to make the granules smaller so they'll dissolve quicker. (That's called "caster" or "superfine" sugar, and it's the best kind for frostings and meringues.) :)
Yeah! Do that! I just made my cousin's chocolate orange wedding cake and filled it with orange buttercream. For the quantities in the video I used the zest of one orange and then replaced the milk with freshly squeezed OJ. It ruled! The whole cake smelled like a Jaffa Cake!
I learned so much on how to make buttercream frosting perfectly by just watching this video. Thanks for making it, Jamie & team! :D
I made an account just to comment on this! I used her measurements from her book, cause I had to make a large amt. But followed this video! N omfg... It was amazing! White n silky n smooth n the piping came out amazing! People were just raving about how good it was!! So thank you Gemma :D
thanks for this comment I need to make a large amount for a cake this week 😊
what butters would you recommend to use? I think I need to get a stand mixer to see the difference from a hand mixer.
any butter aslong as its not margarine. margarine will make it sloppy
Hi! What are the measurements and was it too sweet? Thank you!
It's pretty cool when people find out about other awesome and artistic people like the Jemma simply because someone noticed and needed to share her with the world to show the brilliance. That was a looooong sentence.
I made the cupcakes from Jemma's recipe as well as this buttercream. Best bakes ever and will stick with this recipe for my 50th birthday. So easy. So fluffy. And it went down a treat. Thanks Jemma. Love everything you do!
We use that buttercream to pipe with. As long as your butter wasn't too soft or too firm when you make the icing, it's pretty great for all methods!
So many cupcake making vids that makes you feel like you're sitting in a math or history class lecture. But yours is awesome! You're a fun person to watch Jemma!
I have always found that with Silver Spoon. I always use Tate & Lyle icing sugar but also Billingtons golden icing sugar is pretty good, though it won't go very white
Jemma is so awesome. She answered like most of the questions in a very detail way :3 full of passion :3 love it
Yeah! Deffo. For this recipe I'd say 1/3 to 1/2 a pod is plenty!
Soooooooooooo pretty. I worked with frosting only once so far and was really impressed how easy it is. Can't wait to decorate more cupakes. :)
CupcakeJemma! You are awesome! What a great addition to food tube! Yay!
tried this yesterday and OH MY GOD its amazing!! the best buttercream i have ever tasted!! thank you soo much for this tutorial :) I used half the mixture i made on 12 normal size cupcakes so i'm guessing it would do 24 although i suppose it depends on what icing technique you are using as to how much icing you use per cupcake..
...also it's really multiplyable! It works just as well scaled up, just mix it for a bit longer at each stage if you want to make more
Thanks for the lovely recipe. Tried for the first time ever and turned out absolutely well.
Nice first video! Can't wait to see more of Jemma!
She's awesome, you guys are really good at finding amazing people to work with you!
I would recommend keeping it stored in an airtight container at a cool room temperature which, if you're in London right now like I am, can be tricky. The fridge is ok if you you want to keep it for a while before you get around to using it. Because of the butter content, it will become too hard to use straight away after being in the fridge for a bit. If you want to do that though, just make sure you take out your buttercream an hour or so before using it so that it can become soft again.
Mmm cupcakes! Looks fantastic Jemma!
Brilliant jemma ..you make it so easy to follow. ...
So love your videos and ur personality! Can't stop watching ur videos:) just a lovely boss!!!
I made it and everybody loves it!! thanks Jemma!!
It looks so yummy!
Oh my god, you are SO LOVELY! This buttercream just looks like heaven!
Oh! I love her already!!! :D Thanks for the tutorial Jemma!
This video is brilliant and you are star, Jemma!!!
I made your oreo cupcakes yesterday and 2 batches of your vanilla cupcake and vanilla buttercream cos everyone loves it! The cupcake was so fluffy I could die. As I am typing this, I am waiting for my butter to soften to bake another batch for my friends. Thank you Jemma!
love you Gemma!!!!!! can't wait for more videos from you!!!
Yes! There is definitely a connection! your butter should ideally be soft and squeezable but not sloppy or runny or messy. If you were to stick your finger in it, your finger should not come away dripping in butter! It needs to have some body to it if it is going to whip up to that nice pale and fluffy consistency. Try and make it in a cool place! If your kitchen is hot then don't leave your butter out softening for half the day or it will get too soft. Experiment and have fun!
I could hand ice 2 dozen standard cupcakes using the method in the video. Piping them uses a bit more so maybe 1 to 1.5 dozen, depending on how heavy you go. x
It is a Kenwood. Now go get one and make some stuff! Yay!
I can't wait for your videos to come out!! you are a legend
This is exactly how i want to decorate my cupcakes when i make some later - sprinkles and all! Thanks Jemma :)
OMG love C&D, always get something from you guys when I am in London.
Jemma RULES!!!
Jemma is fab! :) Can't wait to see more from her. Oh and now I want cupcakes!
Oh My God, this looks absolutely divine. I love cupcake. I only make and eat them at parties, though, but still...thank you for perfect buttercream tutorial!
Finally made it, took me ages to get it right but well worth taking your time. Now I just have to choose the right cupcake for it......mmmmmm :) Thanks Jemma!
Some brands of icing sugar aren't as fine as others. For example, I used to have this problem when I worked with Silver Spoon icing sugar. I could never seem to get the graininess to go away. Tate and Lyle is what we use and I never have this problem any more but it is true that the longer it whips up for, the more the 'grains' dissolve. Assuming you are sifting your sugar before using it as well.
Can't wait for your next video! Made the buttercream last night. Awesome reviews! I added salted caramel and reduced the icing sugar. The tip about patience really works, it was white and fluffy. Yummmm
I loved you Jemma! Good "acquisition" for the food tube team!! xx
Thank you SO much for this recipe! I just made it, and it's definitely the best icing I've EVER had!
How many cupcakes did it cover?
I made a half recipe, and it covered approximately 8-10 cupcakes
Thanks very much :)
I try this today & it taste delicious .....thanks Jemma..
This looks really good thanks for sharing
These looks delectable
I already love Jemma because I looove cupcakes :)
...looking forward to lots of new videos ;)
I was hoping no one would notice! Basically I have permanently got splodges of food colouring on my hands. Like ALL THE TIME. Cos my hands get so dry from all the washing up I do, it just gets right in there and doesn't come off for ages! I can assure you I am very clean. I wash my hands about 30 times a day (hence the dryness!)
Aw bless you for having to explain that ❣️😘
Welcome to Food-Tube Jemma! I'm looking forward to more of your videos! I love cupcakes and baking! :)
you make everything look amazing :)
Just made this recipe but with coconut cream instead of milk. It was fabulous! Whipping the buttercream for so long made it so light! I used to always make buttercream really quickly but I have seen the light! Thanks!
I've used this recipe several times and it is always perfect. Today I substituted a homemade strawberry puree reduction for the milk and strawberry flavoring for the vanilla. It made delicious strawberry buttercream frosting.
Amazing! Love her already.
I love her dimples and smile.
wow first video and i love her already!
Thank you so much! I made this recipe last week and everyone loved it!! Gonna do it again tomorrow :D if you guys are wondering it's enough for 24 cupcakes :)
My new favorite person. Thank you!
Thanks, i'm definitely trying this recipe, I make cupcakes so this is amazing, really helpful :) thanks, greetings from Lima-Peru.
Made it today and it was so good!
We could try smoking the sugar? Or the milk?
Love this recipe
I love your videos so much I always watch them 😊😊🍰🍰
This is amazing!
Hope you film more videos!
Great attitude, sweet tatts and cute to boot! :) Cant wait to see more of her.
you make this look so easy! I'll give it a go today :)
I love Jemma!
I loved the video, Thanks!!

Love that TEA! But you can also cold smoke. Imagine experimenting with different sweet woods and your buttercream
Love the video! More please
Looks so good :)
She is so cute !! Just like her cupcakes :3
this recipe is amazing!! i just made this buttercream icing and I'm so pleased with it. the texture is amazing. and it tastes really good.
all the other buttercream icings i made before were to "buttery". best buttercream icing! try it :)
Awesome!!
I seriously can't stop playing this video over and over again lol you're so damn funny watching just once isn't enough (: great video.. you're awesome.
Awesome girl, love her!
You can try! Might get a little melty. When I want to get smoky flavours, I use Lapsang Souchong tea! Works a treat. But you don't get to haul out your massive smoker, soz
You have cute dimples :P and ofc I love this show!
Just made this and it is literally the best buttercream I have ever made.
Lovely!! I appreciate it Jemma.
ps: you rule!!!
Chick with tats doing cupcakes like a pro? YES PLEASEEEE. thank you Jemma for the tips!!
Jemma. Love your style.
I made it and it's perfect!
Her cupcake is brilliant:D
i have been making the icing and its going well
thank you for this vidio
Thanks for showing how to properly put this stuff on the cupcakes, I already knew how to make it, but when I've made it before but my cupcakes looked like a mess, your method seems way easier.
Absolutely brilliant - even inspired me to believe I may actually be able to do it!!'
Cupcake, you make me smile.
Please answer CupcakeJemma I'd really appreciate it. How many cupcakes would this amount of buttercream cover? Love your videos.
12
24 actually
I really like her! Plus she's donning some ink and that's pretty rad.
There will be more. Stand by!
Fantastic
I have you under my command. Now SMOKE!
She amazing!
