Is the milk room temp? Or cold?

Love how she acknowledged people living in a hot country where she knows her audiences come from all over the world. Great tips and amazing video. :)
I agree with you
i was about to comment on that lmao
Exactly lol
meanwhile I live in canadan and in winter my room-temperature butter is still hard lol
Kindly can I use blue band if I lack butter?
Love your tutorial on how to make this frosting. It amazes me that you don’t have confectioners sugar splattered on your counter or clothes! Very helpful. Thank you!
The way she talk is so percise, strict and shows that she is a fast worker.😘

Thank You
Thank you so much
Thank you
THANK YOU! My dumbass has been trying to convert it for like ten minutes
Sara McGarrigle me too ;-;
Jemma this is the best buttercream recipe that I’ve made! It was a complete success at my 4th of July party. I’ve never made a buttercream with the right consistency, taste and perfect to be colored!
Omg. You are so talented. Since quarantine started I have started making cookies for people who were in isolation. Then I started liking it and I was looking for ages for the perfect UA-cam account to help me improve as a baker. This is it. Thank u for the tutorial!!
Ingredients:
150g (5oz) unsalted butter
340g (12oz) icing sugar (also called powdered or confectioners' sugar)
Around 3 tablespoons of milk
Thank you so much for helping those of us that use ounces and not gram...
Thank u hun
I saw this video so many times, I wish I had seen your conversion too.. I tried this yesterday for the first time but my cream turned out to be little runny and granular. Granualr because of sugar I think I should have run the powdered sugar through blender or something:( ...
Jayb
2 sticks room temp butter
1 bag of powdered sugar
1/2 cup crisp o
2 tbsp vanilla
2 tbsp sour cream
Milk to thin.
I make my own buttercream n this is how I make it all the time(I’m a cake decorator)
Amy F. Is a lot of sugar right
For those who prefer something less sweet...mix in a few drops of lemon juice into this recipe. You won't taste it at all but it will give the effect of a less sweet icing.
How much tsp?
It says a few drops

Just wanted to say thank you! I actually made my first batch of buttercream icing, and it came out great. With everything being shut down because of COVID, I’ll be making my daughter 2 year old birthday cake. I’ll be tipping it with YOUR buttercream icing. Thank you!
Also happy because I didn’t have to go to the store to buy anything. It was so easy!
Hey can you help me what if icing sugar is not dissolving properly

cinarod21 mine will turn 2 by September and I am looking for baking a birthday cake too
@@pinkgirl1x Pls help me to support view, subscribe and comment my channel. Tq
Everytime i made buttercream, it always turned out runny or curdled, never right. But i tried this today and this turned out PERFECT ! I followed all your instructions perfectly & the buttercream looks exactly like yours !! I will use it later today, so i've stored it in an air tight container in the fridge !! This is the BEST buttercream recipe !! I recommend it to all 100%
Could you tell us what double cream is
@@adelehiggins4026 Double Cream is the British term for heavy or whipping cream
Using the measurements from the video, how many cupcakes were you able to pipe?
@@mahnoornabeel7208 I didn't use the buttercream for cupcakes ! I used it to make a birthday cake, i used it for the full cake & still had some left over.
@@skeletondude641 using the same measurements?
And there you made it again!! Thanks to you and your tutorial, my 3 years old daughter had the best mermaid cake ever! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU A MILLION YOU ARE A SUPER STAR! 😀🍰
Thanks for putting the recipe in the video description and not forcing us to some website, like a lot of other baking UA-camrs do. This is super helpful, thank you!
I always whip my butter with a hand mixer, then add the sugar a little at a time and mix with a wooden spoon, then back to the hand mixer to whip until light and fluffy. best method I've found yet :)
I was just wondering how to go about this with a hand mixer instead of a stand one. Thanks!
thanks so much, this is a great method! If you want you could try adding half shortening. It really worked for me.
@@mathsisdeadtomenow you use half butter hals shortening? I might want to try this
@@sara-ql1xs Yea I did, but it was a long time ago so I dont remember much, Im pretty sure it was fine though.
@@mathsisdeadtomenow The frosting holds up better with half butter and half shortening.
Thank you for this recipe. Over the last 36 hours I have made 5x your vanilla buttercream recipe and 1x your chocolate buttercream for my nieces first birthday party. I made her smash cake and the birthday cake for alot of people and it got alot of compliments. A friend (who is a trained chef) who attended said its the best buttercream she has ever had (and she hates the standard buttercream). THANK YOU!!!! Your recipe made a very happy group of people here in CA ♡♡♡
I just made this icing with your vanilla cupcakes and they turned out amazing!!! The BEST buttercream EVER!!! Me and my family can't stop eating them! 😂
Thank you Jemma for having our back with these recipes, they are always incredible!!! 🤩🍦🧁
(I'm in the US) I went to a specialty European market for reasons totally unrelated to baking and I found that same brand of French butter! Finally, I can make similar buttercream to yours :) Wish I could have found it earlier lol
I followed this recipe for buttercream for a cake I made last month, but my buttercream came out with a bunch of air-pockets. After watching the video again now, Jemma says "regardless of how much icing I'm making, I always add [the sugar] in 2 stages". I added the sugar in 3-4 stages and whipped 3 minutes in between each stage. Basically I added too much air which caused those air-pockets. Lesson learned! Hope this helps somebody else.
Thank you very much! I want to make cupcakes today, and I would have totally done this mistake, if I haven't read your comment :D (I hope my english is correct, I learn it in school).

I already follow Jemma's instraction..but the result..little bit wet and i still can taste the icing like sand in my cream :(. Do you know why ?
paprika check your icing sugar, if it contains tricalcium phosphate it‘s like sand. Don’t melt your butter too much, runny butter causes runny buttercream.
I have been making butter cream for years, I have just made yours, its the smoothest, fluffiest and tastiest thank you.
Can I use a whisk attachment?
Can u dye flavoured buttercream
@@katecarter4201 yes I think u can I don’t see why not
Is it not too sweet?
Please a little help with type of color she use,gel color or?:)
Your coloured buttercreams look Fab and so do your tattoos! Thank you for explaining everything so nicely! xxxx
I have watched many buttercream videos and yours is the first that actually give really good tips and tricks that work! Thank you, and I like your tats, very clean.
She's so sincere and whatever she does , she does it with lot of care ❤❤❤
I made this before Christmas and now back to remember what I did because it was so delicious! Thank you!!! And congrats on the baby ❤️💜
Great video. Clear and concise. Answers all my questions that I literally had to search multiple videos for.
this cake looks simply delicious
your baking videos are absolutely captivating, and i truly enjoy the audio-visual experience
thank you
This is the best American-style buttercream I've ever made. SO LIGHT! Thank you!
Absolutely love your channel! Love your attitude, the way you easily explain things, the simple recipes, everything!
I've tried three different methods for making buttercream in the last two days. This is the only one that worked. I can't thank you enough! You've saved the birthday cake I'm making
Just made the cupcakes and butter cream from your recipes. Turned out amazing. Thank you Jemma.
If you want to make the icing super white for snowman cupcakes add a tiny touch of purple gel colour as this neutralises the cream/yellow tone 😉🍰

First amazing baking UA-camr that actually gives GOOD advice!! Thanks so much! U got me obsessed with baking. I got so many baking items and bc of u, I am getting much much better at baking
I've cooked for year and taking classes..you explain so well, this left me confident. Thank you so much..
Thanks Jemma for always referring to places that are not similar to the UK:). Excellent guidance, many thanks
Awesome video! I've made buttercream a few times and gotten compliments but I always felt I wanted it a bit lighter and fluffier. Never thought to go that long with just butter in the mixer before starting. I start vacation tomorrow, I hope everyone is ready to live on buttercream for a few days while I try this out!!
Who is here in quarantine? Just passing some time?
I am ! I want to do a toilet paper cake to celebrate my birthday next week

I love the way this lady talks, an of course the great recipes!!! ❤️
Thank you Jemma - all your tips are so good. I really don't like making icing (too sweet, too runny) , but I think I can improve with the comprehensive tips you have given. Thank you.
i'm not surprised that people think your buttercream is amazing, as you're using one of the best french butter ! high quality ingredients make for great cooking.
I can’t get this butter in canada
Omg randomly stumbled across your video. I am obsessed with your bakery, my husband got me 12 rose cupcakes from your bakery around 4-5 years ago for Valentine's day instead of actual roses. They were divine, since then i have been obsessed with your cakes.
Aw how sweet of him :)
I've just started baking and I love your video! Thanks for so much tips and for not forgetting the hot countries!
Thanks for the easy recipe and great tips! I used this to make spritz sandwich cookies. The cookies were flavored with just a little zest, then I made the base buttercream and split it in half. One half was lemon cardamom and the other was rose cardamom.
btw i dont get why Gemma hasnt got under 1 million suscribers? she deserves way more!

Butter cream has pretty much always been 3 to 4 ingredients.
@@toilyfe5985 she isn't talking about the ingrredients i think.
@@olabitch7451 she was. She said that other recipes usually have a lot of ingredients.
Anytime I make icing now I come back to your video 😍 tastiest icing I’ve ever made! Got loads of compliments last time! 🥰
Tried this butter cream today and can confirm it’s amazing!! Not grainy and super smooth and fluffy soooo yum
love love this recipe. been making butter cream for years but after trying your recipe I'll never look back!
Made this earlier today, best buttercream I've ever made! Thank you Jemma!
Amazing!!! I just stumbled across this video and really enjoyed watching you. Clear and straight to the point… keep it up!
Thankyou so much . I am a beginner and. Watched 100 videos but couldn’t found myself ready . Great help. Now I know what I need to hug and how to make . Love

I think I could definitely learn from you, so patient and descriptive.
I did your white chocolate frosting for cakes. Yummiest ever. Thank you so much. Very good demo. It's soft and pale exactly shown in the video. Making it today again.
You’re so good as speaking infront of a camera!!! Love this🧁
I really have had trouble finding a buttercream recipe I like. They are either too sweet or I feel like I'm eating butter. This recipe is the perfect balance of light, sweet, and airy. I'll be using it again! Thank you for sharing such detailed instructions!
I'm in an America, and the particular state I'm in is extreamly humid.....All the time. This turned out PERFECT with just 2 1/2tbsp of milk and 1tsp of vanilla
I like how you deeply explain the process, I immediately subscribe!
Wonderful this is the second butter cream video in the same night! Brilliant!!!
I like the way you list every single detail in your recipes, cause its really helpful
Thanks
Your recipes just amazing. I have just make my first ever buttercream with your recipe and absulately stunning. Thank you for sharing such priceless knowledge. Much love...
What a great masterclass! Thank you!
So far the most elegantly explained trade-secret recipe out there!
Some hints for those struggling with the metric measurements. Grams is a measurement of weight. Cups is a measurement of volume. So if you do a direct conversion, you'll wind up with too much sugar, because sugar weighs more!
There are electronic food scales that are super cheap and handy that can work with ounces as well as grams. I have an OXO Good Grips stainless steel food scale and it can measure grams. Handy if you're looking at international recipes.
Now, I've been struggling with cupcakes that sunk in the middle as well as perhaps felt a bit too oily. The things I'll try is not use an unsalted butter with such a high butterfat content. I tend to use french butter with high milkfat content and I think that's contributing to some of it (but man, it tastes so good). Unsalted butter in London, she's going to find butter that's a minimum of 80% milkfat
Another thing to point out for those dealing with sunken cupcakes. An metric teaspoon is not the same as a US teaspoon. Egadzooks! 1 Imperial/British teaspoon is equal to just about 1.2 us teaspoon. Which means if you put in 1 teaspoon of baking soda, you didn't put in enough. And we all know baking is really about exact measurements when it comes to getting your goods to rise. So 1/4 teaspoon that Jemma says may very well be too little, if you're using a US teaspoon. So how the heck do you measure .30 of a us teaspoon aka, 3/10th? I'm going to "mound" my teaspoon with extra baking soda and see if that helps as well.
First things first, I'm going to go try a slightly more amount of baking soda to try and reach that imperial teaspoon and see if that helps.
By the way, despite all these changes, my cupcakes sunk. I realized my oven was going out and wasn't regulating temperature correctly. Only way to find this out is to put in an oven thermometer and keep it at a certain temperature and see if it can regular that temperature or if it fluctuates. My old oven fluctuated really badly causing the sunken cupcakes. My answer to this? Buy a new oven! Most expensive vanilla cupcake recipe ever. But way worth it.

Well, at least you didn't ruin a steak.
I use a gala measure. It's very accurate if you're careful.
You are the real MVP here Taylor. You just saved the day
Seriously this is some of the best buttercream I ever made! I just added chocolate raspberry coffee into it and it came out as a beautiful subtle flavor as well as red food coloring to emphasize the raspberry!!
Raspberry coffee? Wow! Could you tell me a lil bit about that?
@@israshaikh5511 at my local grocery store, they sell that flavor coffee and it's amazing! It's light but still gives that caffeine intake that I look for. And the raspberry isn't overly done in it. Probably some of the best coffee I've ever had. My local store is Winco.
I came here for the tutorial, but I have to tell you, your winged eyeliner is ON POINT.
love the perfection and the quality of cooking
I’m so happy I discovered your channel!
Thank you so much for the buttercream tips! Mixing it longer made a world of difference in consistency and taste! Love your videos. You’re fantastic!!!
Excellent simple short & detailed video, TY.
Love everything about Jemma.. beautiful, charming and amazing talents..
I like how you give notes for hot countries cause I live in Jamaica and no way could I leave butter out overnight 😂
Aliyah Jensen Cause Jamaica Is awesome! 😉😋😆
Kandice Thompson I live in Jamaica as well and it's the perfect temperature for the butter to be at. It won't get runny. lol.
What you can do though.. if you are making this and it seems too soft.. just watch the amount of liquid ( milk and vanilla) you add.
Nigeria here, and I'm just laughing at the idea of leaving out overnight. I'd have syrup butter by morning.
I just made this and it's the best recipe I've found so far. Smooth and creamy and not very grainy. Yum!
Thanks for all your tips and recipes! Really helpful for one who just started baking and decorating her cakes.
Omg thank you so much as I have been looking for some easy icing recipe and this is the easiest one out of the others. Thanks a lot for sharing 👍🏻
Thank you for all of the knowledge you share. I’m very grateful 🙏🏼
Thanks Jemma! I just made it, and it is very easy! Thank you very much. You really are the Queen of baking. My son made this one for his school project!

Bit of help for everybody who has difficulty finding top quality ingredients. My go to place is actually Lidl! (UK based info or anywhere which has Lidl, apologies) Lidl British Unsalted butter is basically British Lescure - perfect for baking. It has an 82% fat content, like Lescure and it is creamy soft and tastes much butter than Sainsbury's or ASDA's and it's only 95p per 250g block. Icing sugar, Tate and Lyle uses 'Maize Starch' but it's dry, lumpy and when supermarkets finally get it off of their shelves it's old and crusty. Lidl icing sugar also uses 'Maize Starch' and it is softer, smoother and less dry and crusty and it is only 65p for a 500g box. Only buy Tate and Lyle if it's a commercial purchase because it is most likely to be fresher brought that way. Obviously milk is milk just make sure it's whole, I'm not going to tell you where to buy your milk. Lidl sell vanilla pods for less than £2 I believe or I use vanilla bean paste which I don't buy from Lidl. Vanilla is the only expensive ingredient really, extract and paste both ranging between £4-8 if it is a good quality kind. I hope this helps some of your buttercream nightmares.
alice carver hi... so you buy the butter and icing from lidil?? and the butter is that white one??
nathcar 81 it's called British unsalted butter, it's in a silver packaging and it says unsalted butter on it. It also has an 82% fat content just like lescure x
alice carver ok thx alot dear nice to meet you all xxx from malta here
