      Can't add water where I live or it will turn to soup. I'm in 90° weather literally every day here in the Caribbean. We have to work in really cold ac to get the perfect buttercream and the fridge is our best friend.

    Yes thanks for making video tutorial. I've used the same ingredients Salted butter, Powdered sugar, vanilla and milk or cream. I'll try it with water and see if I like it better. Thanks 😊

    Yes. YES!!! This butter to sugar ratio is so good. It tastes amazing and sweet, just the way I like it.
    I've tried other buttercream recipes where the ratio is more butter than sugar, and no offense to them but it's absolutely disgusting. It tastes like very LIGHTLY sweetened butter. Not like frosting at all.

      Substitute the amount of butter with shortening. It's still going to melt but will hold better than all buttercream frosting.

    • @cakelegend
      @cakelegend  Рік тому +1

      Yes, you can! Keep it in the fridge and take it out the night before you’re going to use it- then be sure to re mix it before frosting your cake, icing your cupcakes, etc.

    I love using american buttercream but my worst enemy is the hot summers here in Texas, do you have a good buttercream recipe that can hold well outdoors? ive tried using half butter and half shortening and added meringue powder but i find this combination to be too greasy. any other recommendations? thanks in advanced !!

    4have u tried using cream? I do not use water bc of the chemicals fluoride/ chlorine, and who knows what else. Changes the taste and creaminess! I stopped using water in all my cooking additions. Makes such a difference. Try a pie crust or pizza dough? The best!
