    I made your chocolate buttercream with a chocolate fudge cake, I ended up not needing all of the milk following your advice was the best ever.
    I used my kitchen aid and the recipe was flawless so creamy and rich my dad and relatives demolished that cake.
    Thank you for sharing your recipe I'm happy to subscribe.
    I took a picture too.

    this video helped me immensely! I have watched countless videos where the baker uses so many more gadgets and tools. This was wonderful! I was able to make a great looking cake with this frosting technique. Thanks for the tip about the upside down plate.I have since purchased a turntable but the plate worked very well! Thank you!!

    what changes do i have to make to the amounts of the other ingredients for 2 cups of icing sugar?

    • @luisescalante6530
      @luisescalante6530 7 років тому +1

      Azkaee Vishah just use 80g of Butter a little less of milk and like 25g of cocoa

    Hey there!
    Instead of cocoa powder can I melt a chocolate and use??

    • @pastyblobpastyblob1251
      @pastyblobpastyblob1251 7 років тому +1

      Noor-Ul-Ain Zafar yes. In the UK we melt dark chocolate (high percentage of cocoa solids) and add. Less milk is required to soften the mixture too as the melted choc adds moisture.

    i have tried the cake recipe..but I do not have a mixer to make that wonderful frosting

    • @katvtay
      @katvtay 8 років тому

      Definitely invest in a mixer, even a good hand mixer (because Kitchen Aid mixers are hundreds of dollars, although well worth the cost), or ask for a mixer as a gift. A mixer definitely helps beat things better, like frostings!

    • @baguettelesslorrytrailer5974
      @baguettelesslorrytrailer5974 5 років тому +1

      Use some hand beaters. It's basically the same

    The height of a cake is dependent on how height each layer is. For a two layer, it is usually 4"-6".

  • @Cookiescupcakesandcardio
    @Cookiescupcakesandcardio  11 років тому

    Yes, it is great for cupcakes :) I recommend that buttercream is kept in the fridge as it has dairy products in it. Take it out an hour or two before serving it, to allow it to come to room temp, and soften up. Thanks so much for watching!

    You need to apply a crumb coat (thin initial layer), which catches all the crumbs. Freeze it with the thin layer, and then apply the final coat, which will be crumb free.
