SHOULD I TRY MAKING ALL THE DIFFERENT BUTTERCREAMS? 🤔

I think Sugarologie might have the best buttercream content on the whole internet. Her recipes are worth a look. edit: spelling

How about a video where you make all the basic buttercteams and try them and rate them?

Been running a cake business from home for a few years now. I've never made American buttercream since it's too sweet. I make both SMB and German at the same time since it uses the entire egg and no wastage and then I freeze the batches when it's all completed. SMB is perfect for piping designs and German just has a great taste to it so depending on what the decoration calls for I'm happy to switch between these two. I have tried Ermine and Italian and more recently Russian but the SMB and German are my go to frostings.

I also dislike American buttercream, but I understand why it's so often used. It's stable and beginner-friendly. So I've been practicing with other buttercreams and frostings to see if I can find something I like!

Hello from Germany! Our buttercream isn‘t just one type. I know many different recipes. But the custard one is light and sweet. I love your videos and now I can‘t wait to see you try German Buttercreme ;)

First ever buttercream I made was Italian meringue buttercream. It's lush, give it a try 😊

Please take us on the buttercream journey with you!

I LOVE buttercream. I didn't know there are so many types. I think mine is just plain American buttercream. My husband laughed at me because the cake below the buttercream is irrelevant. The cake is just the "delivery system"for the buttercream to my mouth. :)

Ermine is my favorite because it’s not too sweet but it’s more fluffy so might not be good for flowers. I also like stabilized whipped cream frosting. I wanna try Swiss next. I find American buttercream toothachingly sweet

My wife’s a cake decorator and does not appreciate it when I pronounce buttercream as “butt-hair-cream”.

I grew up with ermine buttercream as the staple for cakes and cupcakes but we always called it "cooked frosting." It wasn't until recently that I learned that it had a name!

Long videos for different buttercreams please!

Whatever frosting you’re using in this video is beautiful! Recipe, please?🥰❤️

My mother always made red velvet cake with ermine frosting instead of the ‘normal’ cream cheese, and it’s still the last thing I’d want to eat before dying.

Yes!! I’d love to see what the differences are ! Esp compared to the standard American buttercream I’m used to

I started baking as a hobby and I love buttercream with condensed milk. It's not to sweet and soft. My family love it too.

Not a baker or cake decorator, but I had to make some sort of frosting in high school home economics. (USA) The recipe included a large amount of shortening. I’d never seen shortening before, and I didn’t eat store bought cake for several years afterward. I’m curious about the different kinds of buttercream now. I did actually enjoy the piping part of the class. 🤔

I actually didn’t know this 😮 I’m a whipped icing type of lady due to the light airy not so sweet goodness lol. My husband’s family all loves buttercream but will buy a few whipped icing cupcakes for me ❤ I wonder how I could like taste test the different types of buttercream 🧐

Ermine is amazing <3 it is so hard when refrigerated. I made the mistake of chilling it before piping it on cupcakes and yeah, no it was solid. I first made it for a friend who said her mom used to make boiled milk frosting on heart shaped red velvet cake for her birthday every year. So for funsies, I tried it out, it was a super weird process, but was one of the best frostings i had ever had. She cried when I brought her the cake to work. She was an older lady, in her late 60's and said she hadn't had it since before her mother died many years prior. I don’t actually cake. I had not intended on caking but somehow it became one of my traditions to make a cake for friends birthdays using my art skills 🤷🏽‍♀️ I picked up a lot just through observation. Watching you, sideserf cake studio, and Bake my day Mimo. A 2 tiered cake took me and a friend 2 whole days to make so I have a ton of respect for the process.

Buttercream is my downfall, I'm not a big cake fan so if I ever have a cupcake, which is rare, I will literally just eat the buttercream off of it & if the cake part is dry like it usually is, I'll just pawn that off or discard it, it would be dangerous for me if I ever had a vat of buttercream in front of me, I don't know what I would do, but I'm afraid I'd probably grab a spoon & dig in ☺
