- Welcome to Buttercream 101!!! In this video, I'll share my best buttercream tips, and show you how to make each of the EIGHT types of buttercream step by step. For each and every type of buttercream, I'll show you how it spreads on a cake, and how it looks piped, too! I hope this episode can help you find the perfect buttercream for your next baking project!
This especially buttery episode was made possible by my friends at Go Bold With Butter (goboldwithbutt...). Like me, they believe everything's better with real butter!

I have been dying for a video with this information all in one place. But to also have the info coming from one of my favorite bakers, now that’s amazing! Thank you, Erin!
I’m so glad you love this video as much as I loved making it!!! ❤❤❤❤
I would LOVE an entire episode on dying foods/ food coloring!
@thesugarart maybe you should sponsor!
me too!!
The butter on hand bit killed me. I love how you’re incorporating more comedy into your videos. Please keep it coming. And as always great baking instruction chef!
Erin is an amazing teacher. I've been watching her for a long while now and no one has ever been able to guide me without overwhelming me. She's real, and shows her mistakes as well as mistakes that can happen and how to fix. She's funny, sweet, and lovable. 😊❤
Thank you 🥹🥲🥰
@@erin-jeanne-mcdowell you're very welcome. You've earned it.
Yes please on food coloring vlog. 😊❤
YES...do an episode on food coloring! That would be great.
YES Erin, we DO want a video on food coloring!!!
She is the reason I’m a baker! I caught an episode of Bake it Up a Notch on Food52 and it (re) sparked my love of baking and took it to a whole new level!!! I have all of her books and she taught me how to make pie dough and laminated dough like a pro! Thanks for the laughter, tips, advice, knowledge and encouragement! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Btw, I’m so loving the new kitchen and hysterical vibes ( ie. Parody of one of our treasured 80’s tv shows) Thanks Again!
This makes my day! I’m so glad I could help you on your baking journey! ❤️💛🧡 thanks for sharing this with me 🥰
Could NOT have a more fitting sponsor 😂
Yes to a food colouring episode! 🎉🎉
Thank you so much for this video! It's the most thorough I've seen on this topic. I also love that you included Korean buttercream, I've never heard of it but I can't wait to try it for buttercream flowers!
Also PLEASE do an episode on all things food colouring that would be fantastic 🤩
I just love Erin and how she does her thing 😂
🥰🫶🥰
I learned SO MUCH! Thank you. So many types of buttercream that I'd never heard of. I will definitely be trying these recipes!!🤯
Any baking video is just so welcome ❤ you’re a gem!!!!
Love, love, love this episode, Erin. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the time invested in this wonderful video. I’ve learned so much and really appreciate your expertise and knowledge, and your comedic wittiness. You are very talented and so very special. 😊
Yes to. A food coloring episode!
FRAAAAANCE!! 🤣🤣 I was introduced to cream cheese ermine buttercream a while ago and it has significantly changed my life! Everyone around me can’t stop raving about it whenever I make it. Can’t wait to try out the other methods as well! 😇
Food colouring episode: yes, please! :)
Yes, please do an episode on food coloring!
Yes please do a video on coloring!
Ermine is such an underrated buttercream. I know older generations are generally familiar with it, but I’ve come to really appreciate as a ‘youngster’. It’s a lot easier to make than it seems, not to mention stupidly versatile. I used it on my father’s red velvet bday cake and even added a tad bit of softened cream cheese for that little tang. And yes to the food coloring episode!
Totally agree!!! It is under appreciated!!! ❤
OMG, so going to use this, just like the pie crust video (flattening the butter with your palm heel was eye opening). YES, pretty please for the food color. I get sugar cookie duty every Christmas and have become comfortable with the whole piping royal icing schtick but get confused about when to use white food coloring and could really use a whole education about colors and paste vs gel vs powdered, etc. Thank you so much, going to try all these buttercream recipes/techniques!
Hubby just came by and said to say "thanks" for him. He adores pie (and cake).
Erin always make me laugh! 😂
😁😁😁
Food coloring. Yes please!
I’m so glad you have your own channel Erin! Whether it was a mutual decision or not to leave Food 52, I had missed seeing you along with a lot of the other O.G. Food 52 resident chefs. Let’s just say, I noticed early on the very different direction the channel was going not too long after your last video was posted. With that said, I am no longer subscribed to Food 52 but will be subscribing to your channel. 😊
Thanks so much for joining this sweet community of Happy Bakers!!! ❤❤❤ so glad you’re here 🥰
Yes food coloring
Food coloring FYI episode PLEASE 🥰
I watched Julia Child make French buttercream frosting damn near 50 years ago. I'm archiving this so I can come to it next time I want to make some frosting. It'll be good to try something different. Lol
It’s so delicious!!!! I think you’ll love it!
Oh I loved this episode! The one thing I wish was included is how they react to being refrigerated after being applied to a cake. For example, I find American buttercream can form a thin crush but stays pretty pliable on a refrigerated cake, but I find Swiss meringue buttercream stops being soft and fluffy and turns into firm butter consistency which is so sad. For a caked covered in smb I usually let it come to room temp before serving, but I’m still not a huge fan of the consistency.
I hear you there! That’s a great point, though that’s also a difference that can be difficult to tell visually, you just know it when you taste it! Meringue based buttercreams + French buttercream will lose some of their fluffiness with time: refrigerated or no. The aeration you’ve manually added will only last so long, especially once it’s laden with more fat (butter). But bringing it to room temp is exactly my preferred advice: any buttercream will be best enjoyed at room temp (though admittedly…i sort of love cold American buttercream).
Loved this video! Please do a video on food coloring…that would be great. Are these frosting recipes in any of your books?
There are a few frosting recipes in The Fearless Baker - but all 8 of these frostings are available on my website (and linked in the video description on this vid)! ❤
@@erin-jeanne-mcdowell perfect! Will definitely be visiting the website, thank you!
Loved the video as always Erin.. so detailed amd generous ❤ pl help
me with the temperature of ermine frosting after a cake is frosted with it...what should be the temperature for it to not melt while transporting?
So glad you enjoyed it! As long as you chill the cake well before transporting, it should stay fairly firm for you. That’s good guidance for any type of buttercream. If I I have a longer travel time, I sometimes freeze the whole cake for a bit before travel just to make sure it’s nice and firm! ❤
@@erin-jeanne-mcdowellthanks erin for such great advice ..two more doubts please ....
will freezing the cake work well in indian summers? The texture of the cake inside the buttercream won't change after thawing at room temp?
Love your videos waiting for the next one❤❤
Thanks, Erin!
My nephew likes fresh fruit on his cake, but our small family doesn't eat the cake quickly. (It takes a few days) What frosting do you recommend that will hold up to this abuse?
❤😊
I would like an episode on food colorings. Please no artificial dyes as it affects the kiddos.
