    I recently made your sweetened condensed milk and butter frosting and that's my new favorite! Letting it sit out of the fridge for a while is the key to making it better. These 3 frosting look amazing, you really can't go wrong and I would definitely choose these over buttercream any day!

    Hello. I'm a home baker who absolutely loves watching your channel as well as other baking channels. You guys save us SO much time & headaches by trying out recipes for you. BIG thank you on that! I recently came across two icing videos that I would love if you experimented with and shared your thoughts with us in the scientific way only YOU can approach icings! 😁
    One video was on 2-ingredient Ukrainian Buttercream by a channel called CakeMeAway posted 2 years ago. It used a version of white chocolate and no powdered sugar if I'm remembering correctly. The other was by the channel theStationBakery and she made this really beautiful icing with pasteurized egg whites that looked so smooth. Video is called 'How to make Velvety Smooth buttercream' posted about a year ago.
    I am so inspired by all of you bakers & think people are whipping up amazing ORIGINAL recipes & icings in their kitchens and I love it.
    You're the buttercream/icing queen so would love if you could consider working with these two icings. Thank u!!

      I just made the dreamy buttercream today. It worked well but the heaviness got me too. I ended up adding a little milk, then too much sugar, and basically ended up with a super sweet frosting anyway and it doesn’t set up well. 😑 All my fault, I know. Still on the hunt for the perfect buttercream for me!

    • @ibfisher
      @ibfisher Рік тому +1

      @@erin6692 and so it begins!!! Have you tried the lighter meringue based buttercreams? She has a great video on the variations. Another option if you like lighter icing is the meringue icing with a stabilizer added to give the loose meringue a bit more structure to ice cakes. Again, Adrianna has a great video on stabilizing the meringue icing. Good Luck!

    Great video! I have never liked any buttercream and have struggled for years to have a suitable substitute. I've been doing the cream cheese whip for a while now and it's been mostly good. The flavour is always great but the texture doesn't always hold, esp in the summer time here in New Zealand. Have you considered a cream cheese and white chocolate ganache hybrid? I think this could be the answer to the perfect frosting, however I've only experimented with the idea a few times. The sweetness will come from the white chocolate so there is less chance of having a loose frosting. I just have to figure out the ratio of chocolate, cream and cream cheese.

I'm excited to try that! The white chocolate ganache looks phenomenal. I'm afraid I'd mess it up. I know you said to pay attention to the texture as you whip, but is there a ballpark figure as to the number of minutes you're looking at in whipping this? I'll say it again: superb video! ❤️

    • @Sugarologie
      @Sugarologie  Рік тому +3

      Yeah I should have emphasized plain Greek, but honestly I’ve used blueberry Greek yogurt and it was really tasty too.
      I would say on low speed it took around 3 minutes. You can stop and check periodically but I find that you can overwhip pretty easily so I always err on underwhipping then finish it by hand ;)

WITHOUT the use of alcohol or carmine. It is pretty hard to get a good quality buttercream but this red annoys the hell out of me.
    Do you have a video for colors and how to get them to work?

    Does the heavy cream you use have any gums or stabilizers? Any idea if that makes a meaningful difference here? Whipped cream cheese frosting is my go-to and I recently made it with heavy cream that had gellan gum, and the result was WAY more stable than usual. It's possible I just beat the cream cheese less or something, not sure. Curious if you have any insight or preference?

    • @Sugarologie
