    For german buttercream I use instant pudding mix, learned this working in a german bakery. It's really quick and easy because you don't need eggs, no cooking nor waiting for the custard to cool and it still tastes great! Tip: use less milk than what's stated in the instructions to get a more stable buttercream. I usually reduce a quarter, sometimes by half when it has to stay out for a long time or in hot weather
    Recipe if your pudding mix calls for 500ml milk:
    2 packages of instant vanilla pudding about 90 - 120g (already sweetened), 1L milk, 300g - 500g butter (the amount is really up to you how buttery you like it)

    I do my ermine a bit differently than how you did it, and it's my go-to! Super stable, fluffy and light. (And smooths on cakes great!)
    Mix the milk (120g), flour (20g), and sugar (75g - can be adjusted for sweetness) in the saucepan, heat on med-hi, stirring constantly until it starts to thicken. Turn the heat to med-low and cook, stirring constantly, for another minute. Mix in vanilla or flavoring. Cover with plastic wrap and cool completely.
    Whip 2 sticks (226g) butter until light and fluffy, then add in paste a spoonful at a time. Whip to heart's content. If you get any big air bubbles (I usually get minimal), take a spatula and run it through to mix, pressing the spatula down to get out any bubbles.

    FYI you absolutely can do a cream cheese ermine. I did it for a 10in tall wedding cake and it was incredibly stable and survived a summer wedding (at least 1-2hrs in the sun). It does have the issue of smoothing due to the gel like texture like you mentioned in your video but if you do a rustic cake you can get away with the texture not being perfectly smooth. Because of the stability, I was able to add more lemon juice and cream cheese to the recipe than your Cream Cheese Buttercream recipe and it had a much more satisfying cream cheese flavor (similar to American Cream Cheese frosting) while maintaining stability.

      @catpoke9557 27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@AllTheArtsyThat doesn't really work because frosting alters the texture and taste of cake in a positive way beyond it just being sweet. It makes it moister, softer, and more aromatic. It also just adds diversity in texture to the cake. Thing is, the ratio of icing changes the experience a lot. I like to use a lot of icing for textural reasons, but with most icings this comes out WAY too sweet.
      That's why I usually just use whipped cream. You can adjust the amount of sugar in that as much as you want.

    Thanks for the video. It’s always helpful to have an overview over all possible options. :)
    One amazing thing I want to mention about German buttercream is that you can make ones with amaaaazing punchy flavours by just swapping the pastry cream for a pudding of any flavour you like. I once made a raspberry pudding using raspberry purée instead of milk and used that instead and it was incredible. So full of real fruit flavour. Since it’s cooked/stabilised it doesn’t change the texture whatsoever and you can also adjust the amount of sugar you use because it’s structural integrity doesn’t rely on it. ☺️

The truth is - the Dr. Oetker pudding is nothing other than ordinary corn starch with some vanilla flavor, preservatives and coloring (to mimic the egg yolks) the and sugar. BUT it sells times more expensive than regular corn starch and it also tastes quite artificial for me.
      The egg yolks in the basic creme patisserie (pudding) give more in depth flavor, therefore it is worth the extra mile and I would always prefer it to the other version.

    I’m new here and I’ve only seen a few videos so far. I’m officially hooked.
    I had heard you mention the “Cakeulator” before but wasn’t sure what it was until now.
    That’s friggin’ GENIUS! Watch out, Claire Saffitz!

    im not a baker, by any means ive only just learned how to make like a very basic sponge cake. I am a marketer and use a lot of data and studied a lot of data analytics and must say that the graph at 2.16 is the most satisfying thing i think ive ever seen, and has been the best resource ive come accross in my journey learning to bake because it just matches how my brain works so well!! thank you!!!!

The German buttercream that you showed here, nailed it. Love this video, so glad I came across it. Thanks a million!!!

      I've made mascarpone frosting (chocolate but using cocoa powder) and I really loved it, it tastes like chocolate ice cream. The recipe was from pretty simple sweet I think. It's not very "durable" though, can't beat butter.

    • @phillipfrancis9842
      @phillipfrancis9842 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ganache is really sturdy and no butter to it. You are limited in flavor though as it's chocolate and cream.

    • @sockpuppetqueen
      @sockpuppetqueen ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@phillipfrancis9842white chocolate ganache gives you a lot more flexibility with flavors, you just have to adjust the ratio of cream to chocolate when you make it, to account for white chocolate being so soft

    Italian meringue buttercream is my go to. As someone who likes baking but not necessarily eating sweets. It’s a good a good medium. Not too sweet but still easy to work with. Plus it’s always a crowd pleaser

    I Absolutely love your video. I am a middle school culinary teacher and this is my first year in this position. One of the things that I would like to with my students is to show them the science behind the food and give them healthy options. We were fortunate to have Bakery Donation cake flour and pastry flour Plus I have gluten-free and all purpose flour. I want to do something very similar with the flour. What recipe do you recommend (or someone could please) that We can do a one to one with? I would appreciate any recommendations so my students can have some fun with the science behind baking and cooking. I’m going to show them this video to focus on the mise en place. You do this so beautifully. ❤❤❤❤

    • @Sugarologie
      @Sugarologie  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      So that’s a good set of flours - I’d start with something really simple and flour heavy so you could immediately see the crumb structure and texture of each. Maybe a pound cake? Or muffins? That way it can be easily made and you’d have less variables that would potentially mess up the outcome. Even something as simple as pancakes with different flours will yield different textures :)

  • @julieblair7472
    @julieblair7472 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I have made ermine frosting with all or half cream cheese instead of butter, it's incredible on carrot cake. Ermine is my go-to for everything. The texture and sweetness are just perfect for me. When I make ermine, I whisk all the sugar and flour together, then pour the milk. The dispersion of the flour in the sugar eliminates all possibility of lumps.

    • @surinac9412
