I’ve been making and decorating cakes for over 50 years. While this video didn’t teach me much that I didn’t already know, I appreciate her lessons. I always use salted butter and often add a pinch more salt to dampen the sweetness.

This was so helpful, I've never made a better buttercream in my life! I stuck to using the lowest setting and only adding the icing sugar to the butter 1/4 at a time. For anyone else using a handheld mixer, I used the dough hook attachments instead of the whisks and it worked a treat!

Great tutorial. I have always increased the speed! Will try to remember to whisk on a low speed when making the buttercream. Thank you x

I always beat my buttercream on a low speed for quite a while after I have mixed it together and I find that helps get rid of any air bubbles. Thank you for your wonderful videos!
