    Thank you for this explanation! I made a buttercream without following a recipe, using whatever butter I had left and added coconut milk to loosen the mix and add more mass. It worked out well, but ended up slitting after I put it into the fridge to chill and tried whipping again. This video was a huge help!

    It’s usually temperature related. Your ermine was too cold. In future, you can store ermine for 24 hours outside of the refrigerator well covered.
    Heat up a double boiler (or just hold the bowl partway submerged in a pot of hot water). The trick is to heat a portion of the buttercream and add that back into the rest of your buttercream and keep beating until it comes back together. You can also microwave a portion at 5 second intervals, stirring often.
    If it becomes runny this is also temp related - it’s too warm. Remove a portion of the buttercream and beat it in a stand mixer, while holding an ice pack or a bag of frozen veggies against the outside of the mixing bowl. Otherwise, you can refrigerate it or chill a portion in a small bowl sitting in a bigger bowl of ice water.

    I accidentally used too cold butter to ice my sister’s cake, and I was in a rush (have many assignments due and need to study lol, but I think homemade cakes are better so I didn’t wanna just buy one) so my buttercream was totally split. I wish I saw this video an hour ago instead of searching AFTER piping because I thought maybe cooling down the buttercream would help LOL. Fortunately the cake doesn’t look TOO terrible but if I saw this it’d have looked so so much better. Oh well! I’m def saving this video for future reference.
