My all time favorite icing...From icing a wedding cake to licking the beaters...then for good measure, scraping the bowl down and licking the spatula. None goes to waste. Goes to waist, yes, but not to waste.
Mike, you made me think of ALL the people who ask, "can I cut back on the butter, or the sugar?" I laugh to myself and say, Hm...what do they think this is? BUTTERCREAM...butter, right there in the name! Or, they ask if they can use margarine, and I just think...yuck! I say...let them eat frosting...WITH their cake! Right? lol!
so cute. Not to waste but to waist!
Nice play on words
😂😂😂
And I think I like the cake Mike ❤ do you like it ?
INGREDIENTS
▢1 tbsp vanilla 15mL
▢1 lb confectioner's sugar 454g
▢1 cup unsalted butter 225g, room temperature
▢3 tbsp heavy whipping cream 45mL
▢1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
Whip the butter and salt for about a minute using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. You can use a hand mixer instead if needed.
Sift in the confectioner’s sugar in several batches beating on low after each addition. Scrape the bowl down and repeat the process.
Add a tablespoon of the cream while mixing on low then add the vanilla. Beat until you have an even, fluffy consistency. You can add more cream or milk if desired for a thinner consistency.
wasnt it for 5 min the butter?
@@frankiekawaii6163 I just copied the recipe.
My confectioner's sugar doesn’t melting with it. It feels mouth that sugar doesn’t combined with butter. What should i do now?? Please help me 😔😔
@@fatemaakterbithi9084 is your butter room temperature and soft? Add the powdered sugar a little at a time. Adding it all at once can make the sugar lump together.
Rahselle... it is ONE TEA SPOON, NOT TABLE SPOON!
According to ATK’s Bridget, adding 1 tbs of warm water at the end dissolves all graininess in the frosting. I tried it and it worked for my fluffiest frosting ever.
Love this video! Here's my 2 tips: 1 stick unsalted and 1 stick salted. Perfect salt level. And use vanilla paste for superior vanilla flavor. I recommend that N.M. brand. :)
I would love to use vanilla bean paste but I can't afford it! Also, it really keeps your frosting dark!
@@debjudisch5548 where are you based?
@@anitadhm_ Where do I live? I live in Iowa, in the heart of the U.S. While this might not seem expensive to some, it is to me because I am on SSI and disability, so my income is so low. Otherwise I would LOVE to use vanilla bean paste!!
@@debjudisch5548 ohhhhh ok
Totally agree with the unsalted/salted butter part! I do the same thing, gives lots more flavor!
I love your positive energy and how you take the anxiety out of baking!
Pretty comments on the cake baking . I hope we can be good friends
I took a beginners cake decorating course and the instructor gave the class a great hint about the salt to add: popcorn salt because the grains are smaller and mix better. This is the recipe I use for all my cakes. Thanks John
What a perfect idea
Do you mean flavacol salt ??
No way I was actually just thinking earlier today about how I’m going to make my buttercream for the cake I made and now I’m definitely going to use this recipe!!😁😁
Hope you enjoy!!!
Does it always have sugar granules/grains left in it..feels in mouth
@@PreppyKitchen Would buttercream frosting taste good on top of a strawberry cake? I would use strawberry frosting but I want to color it using gel colors.
@@DiningDelight14i do did you fixed it?
@@PreppyKitchenby any chance, do you know the measurements for a 3 8in cake and 2 9in cakes?? ☹
Thank you so much for being so thorough with all of the tricks and details for the perfect buttercream frosting for piping and decorating! And I love your personality! 👍
I really like your instructional videos, style of teaching & topics. Not sure how you do it, but you are able to get to the point as well as give needed tips/details in a short time. Thanks for your good work.
So I made this in December for a wedding cake and again for my Birthday cake on Sunday. Always, always compliments. So delicious. This will always be my go to frosting.
I made an entire table of sweets for my daughters bday, and almost all the recipes were from your channel. The cake came out so beautiful and I used this buttercream recipe. Thanks so much ! I'm going to buy your book just to say thank you
He has a book!! With all his recipes?? ❤
@@KingdomLifeDec with some of his recipes 😊

Add instant coffee (mixed with a bit of warm water to dissolve) to make fantastic coffee buttercream! My grandma taught this to me in the 70's - before coffee was such a thing. Really, it's heaven.
Pipe this between two lady-fingers, and it will be the perfect treat with coffee or even tea.
How much coffee do you use to how much water and do you have to add sugar to it to counter the bitterness? Thank you!
@@Stircrazyy10 just store bought instant coffee one sachet should do the trick! ☺️👍🏼
Or, to your taste
Thanks Ma'am
My sister and I have whipped up buttercream frosting for snacks (e.g., chocolate buttercream on graham crackers) since we were small children. Everyone needs to have this in their repertoire.
ohh yesss !! i was waiting for this video! John , you are the only person i trust when it comes to baking and i always struggle with my buttercream . thank you so much for this video! i’ve definitely be trying this one :)
Your kitchen is to die for!!!!! Also you are a wonderful teacher!!!!! Thank you for this
I followed your recipe, and was able to make beautiful decorations on my cake! I also tried this with a calorie free powdered sugar, and it works there too
I once accidentally combined a buttercream and creamcheese frosting recipe when i wasnt paying attention 😅
It turned out so good that it became a favourite for family and friends though so i refer to the creamcheese-buttercream as “ricks secret buttercream”
` wish you`ll share your recipe because i love creamcheese! 😍
You need to share your secret! lol
Does it have the same consitancy?
How well does this hold up in the heat or room temperature?
@@astr0girl i made it during Christmas so the upstairs region was a bit cold, about 11c and it stayed in perfect condition for 2 days in that temperature. And then i moved it to the kitchen where it was about 20c and it didn’t seem to show any signs of deformation over the course of 2 days either so it holds pretty well i think
I spent about 6 months practicing many many recipes of buttercream, until I gave up for the past two years. The icing recipes I previously tried were very unstable, I couldn't pipe it and the flavor was okay at best.
I tried your recipe for the vanilla cake and it was amazing. This encouraged me to risk it for a biscuit and give your buttercream recipe a go! I'm so glad I did! It was a game changer and I was able to pipe a lovely cake with ducks, lily pads, flowers and rocks! The icing was unbelievably stable and the flavor was awesome! Thank you so much for the videos and recipes, your amazing!
Hello John, I’ve enjoyed watching your videos over and over. You are articulate in explaining while you bake, or cook. Totally enjoying this.
I made your vanilla cake and used this buttercream for it. I did use a egg beater instead though for the buttercream, it did work very well!
tried this today and it was amazing!!! it was so soft and fluffy so it was easy to decorate my cake !! thank you john ! this is now going to be my to go to recipe !!
Just finished making this and I have to say ,slow and steady wins the race! That’s the best buttercream I’ve ever made.Thankyou!
Made this buttercream and absolutely in love. With leftovers from making cakes i just place them in bread or croissants and absolutely sublime
Literally the best buttercream I’ve EVER tasted. My family agrees, thank you!!
Passa a resceita por favor nao estou entendendo a resceita sou do Brasil
Loved all your videos. I learned everything I need to know about cake making and decorating from you. You helped me realize my dream to whip up a delicious and pretty cake You're simply the best❤
Awww! What a sweet comment! 😊
I was looking for this, I’ll be using this recipe! Thank you John 🙂
Was wonderful thank you! Used this this morning for my 4th of July cookie cakes ! Customers loved it!
I love you man! Your channel is the best dessert/baking channel on UA-cam. You deserve to have your own Food Network show.
Either way…keep up the great work. I appreciate all of your insight. 💯
Thank you for the advice to get the buttercream smooth! I tend to zoom through everything and end up with a very airy (bubbly) frosting. You are the actual bee's knees, John!
Just made this while watching your video and it’s sooo amazing! The perfect sweetness, smoothness and balanced amounts! Thanks so much! Making cake for my sons bday and now I didn’t have to worry about the icing :)
John - you truly are the best - you make all this seem so easy and you look like you truly enjoy it - thanks
Love your channel and your casual way of coming and baking..I am just concerned sometimes when you call out measurements of a teaspoon or tablespoon and it seems like you're using so much more of the ingredients measured,.I do follow your recipe as directed
I love that he gives good tips and explanations
ive been looking for a perfect recipe, to start my baking phase. thank you john !
You make this look soooo easy thank you John 👍😊
Thank you for the clear directions, great calm energy. Easy to follow:)
omgosh!! I just used your recipe to frost my grandma Ann's 99Th birthday cake!! it's sooo delicious! thank you! Thank you!
YESS I WAS GOING TO MAKE A CAKE TODAY I NEEDED THIS! Thank you
Hope you like it!
Omg I went to a wedding once with cupcakes and the frosting was so grainy!!! This is a great method, thanks for sharing!!!!
I have to say your tips and tricks during this video really helped me make buttercream and it tasted and looked amazing
Just made this today and had no issues! I bought the gadget to measure heat and that helped! Thanks for the great video and easy steps.
I really need this for the cake I’ll be making soon! Thank you!
Love your videos! Thank you! My foolproof way of making buttercream is (don't cringe) using my food processor. I get such a good consistency and smoothness.
Love this I've been learning so much from you and your family , you rock!
Very good recipe. I used it to make a birthday cake for my niece. It firmed up nicely in the fridge for the crumb coat. Took the gel color really well. My nieces and nephew were just licking the frosting; not really eating the cake. Take it easy. Trust the process. Used 2TB of 1% milk. Just right for cover and basic decorations.👌🏻
I was looking for this tips for a big batch of cupcakes that I was about to make, it was like magic to see this new video recommendation from my favorite baking channel ever 💙 I will try it with Rusian piping balls, thanks John!
How are you doing
Whipped Peanut butter buttercream is really good too!! Especially on a chocolate cake!!
OMG you are so good at explaining! Thank you for this life saving recipe
Good advice on getting the air bubbles out. I have always had that issue, so thank you!
Buttercream icing is awesome John. It tastes even better when the cake and frosting is cold! I made a lemon buttercream a couple of days ago. It was awesome. Thanks for this recipe! 😄😊😋
What did you add to make it lemon buttercream?? I love lemon.
@@sanditarin4828 oh hey! I added some lemon zest, and fresh lemon juice! 😊
😊 thank you
@@sanditarin4828 you’re welcome 😇
Thank you mucho you make it look so easy , Have a wonderful blessed day 💥💕🌿
It’s amazing how great icing can be when you don’t sweeten it to death. Store bought and even most bakers make icing way too sweat. Now that I’m making cakes, I’m showing the people the way.
Just tried my first batch made it orange flavored with your vanilla cake recipe- sooooo good
I absolutely love this! If it's still too sweet for you, I like adding greek yogurt to add some funk and balance out the sugar :)
I was wondering why my butter cream always got so stiff, I was missing the cream! 😱 thanks for this video!!!
Love, love, love.. this buttercream John is just perfection!! I don’t like buttercream because they are just so sweet for my taste but this one is balance. Sweet but not mind boggling sweet.
I’m am now working on learning to use the bags and tips so fun thank you so much for all the inspiration
One cool buttercream that I just discovered is Russian Buttercream which is just as easy to make with whipped butter & sweetened condesned milk. perfect level of sweetness. I was super surprised I'd never heard of it before.
Wow so you like the taste? I imagine it prob tastes like Ermine maybe? I had a delicious buttercream the other day in a cake.It was French buttercream it was divine and I’m not crazy about buttercream at least not American buttercream.
@@merimebardhi5129 You’ve got to true Russian buttercream !! The texture is so silky & smooth. it’s like an american buttercream with lots of heavy cream that adds the extra fluff BUT you don’t get any of that residual powder sugar mouth feel OR if it is mixed really the American can be overly sweet. the Russian buttercream is great & it’s stable enough for piping & filling a cake.
Does it crust? I am worried it is as soft and creamcheese frosting and aren't stable for decor
@@aidaminyu7004 So I wouldn’t say it crusts, because it doesn’t really have a crusting agent or ingredient in the mix. However it does hold its shape well enough to decorate, but then i’ve seen whip cream based frosting even used in frosting. it’s not as soft as cream cheese buttercream but also not as stable as the big 3. make a small batch & test it.
@@aidaminyu7004 The sweetened condensed milk buttercream has been around a long time, people just never realized it! It does not crust at all. I like the taste, however, I am not crazy about piping with it. I mean, it does do basic borders and stuff, but for flowers, I find it way too fluffy...almost like piping whipped cream!!
For the powder sugar, you mentioned 4 cups or 16 oz. I think there’s a confusion here because 4 cups =32 oz of sugar. Which one should I use 4 cups or 16 oz?
4 cups
Yeah, I made with 4cup & it’s too much then I googled 16oz of powder sugar which is equal to 2cups.
I always use the 32oz bag..it’s what I learned in a Wilton cake decorating class
I tried this and it came out perfect!!
Love the way you explained everything❤😊
Yup that's how I make mines works good everytime an it don't melt in hot condition
My cream cheese frosting came out really runny. What can I do to make it thick so that it can pipe nicely. Even after I put it in the fridge for a few minutes it still wasn’t for a minute.
Confectionate sugar of course
I just love watching you! I can't wait to order your cookbook. You are absolutely my favorite and I love your personality and messiness, looks like my work space when I am baking.
I am so excited I just stumbled upon this channel. I use so many of your recipes! I'm a big fan lol When I need to bake something I tell my husband to look up one from "our boy John" You're a staple in this household.
226 gram /1 cup unsalted butter 🧈 Room temp
Use paddle attachement - high on 5minutes to cream the butter
Sift 4cups of powdered sugar and mix with butter (in batches)
1 tablespoon of cream and keep it on low
Once smooth add tablespoon of vanilla extract
Add one last tablespoon of cream
could you please teach an easy fondant recipe
I can’t wait to try this out! Thank you so much 😊
I have a box of piping tips which I'll admit I've never used, I'm inspired to use them now after watching, and I'm going to try making this buttercream for cake or cupcakes 🍰🧁for Easter!
I followed these tips with a different recipe for frosting and it helped a lot
Love watching you..you are not boring like other videos I have watched!!!
I love the details and extra infromation you telk us about the buttercream. So many recipes I follow and they don't tell yoi what can possibly happen with the buttercream, then I end up throwing the whole batch away.
You are truly so talented. I love watching all your videos and ur recipes are tops. May God bless u and your family.
chef you are helping me through a huge milestone in my culinary career thank you!
Love your lecture on different method of making pastry for cake decorations thanks
Thank you for educating us.God bless!
Omg came right on time i am making cupcakes for a birthday tomorrow and was looking for a buttercream recipe . Thank youu
Buttercream frosting is always good. Thanks for sharing this
Made my toddler’s cake from scratch for the first time ever today using this buttercream recipe. I don’t have a stand mixer and my really old hand mixer doesn’t have any type of low setting, so I ended up mixing the whole thing by hand 😭. Shockingly, it worked and it was so much smoother than I ever thought it could be. Definitely took “low and slow” to a whole new level. 😅 I also threw in my own homemade bourbon vanilla extract and the flavor was a dream. Thanks for the recipe. I like your style of video where I can basically follow along with what you’re doing (pausing every so often to give me time to hand mix it together 🤣).
I love all you are teaching us. It’s a good and easy recipe. Congratulations. My regards from Los Angeles, Ca.
Can't wait to try it. The buttercream looks so creamy and delicious 😋.
Same here can’t wait 😅
How are you hope we can be good friends
Making buttercream with only a spatula! I definitely need that video 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Well explained
Awesome! You're so talented and amazing. Thank you 😊
This always stresses me out so thanks for this John
I love how he is always smiling❤😊
You are an amazing teacher!!! ❤
I’m a new subscriber ~🙋🏻♀️. And, I just have the best time, listening to all your recipes! You’re so insightful, and inspiring! ( And thanks for all the extra tips, on storing extra recipes) Much love from ~ Texas! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🤘🏼
First time making this turn out perfect!
Great job fantastic result 👏thanks
You are doing a great job at preparing flavorsome dishes. The preparation and presentation of this wonderful buttercream was just superb🤩🤩.
Thanks for the great angle when showing the piping of the cream. I'm a newbie to icing and your video makes it's seems doable! Cupcakes are baked and now to make the icing🤞
me too newbie
It's nothing fancy, but started to bake more in the last 8 months or so, been practicing with cream cheese frosting, so good! Just made everything from scratch, a toasted coconut and pineapple cupcakes
Thanks for the lovely video and great tips.I will try.
I just made this recipe- it is so good, it is hard to resist eating it all with a spoon!
Thank you 🙏 im doing it now, thanks to you simplifying ❤❤❤❤
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’m a bit obsessed with buttercream icing. It’s absolutely decadent and yet easy and you can use it on so many different things. I recently discovered a chocolate chip cookie sandwich with buttercream as it’s filling. It’s not easy to find different ways to enjoy this icing and so I came to Preppy Kitchen to see what John does and I’m now going to try making some cupcakes for my niece’s birthday and I will be saving a couple for myself!! 😊 Thanks for this wonderful recipe and tutorial for what I’ve been craving for awhile and found a great reason to make some for myself, instead of wandering around bakeries for what I have been unlucky in finding. There’s nothing better than practicing something that you want to do and having it turn out better than anything you’ve searched your immediate area for!!
i ❤ how you share the does and dont‘s and also the why‘s 😊
The best frost receipt I made,Thanks you are the best😅
As always with you: perfffffect!!😍Thank you!
Hi John I just described to your channel because I've been watching your channel lately and getting a lot of good ideas for baking And thanks for sharing your videos
