GUYS!!! Buttercream is a SOLID at room temperature. That’s why we have to MELT it to make it a liquid to pour it into the mold in the first place. It will not melt once you take it out of the freezer!!!! Edit: YES, the cupcake will then be COLD. You don’t eat it cold though. You let it sit at room temp for about 10 mins till it’s a normal temperature again.
Instead of filling it to the top you can just cover the inside with the needed amount of butter cream. You know like when you make chocolate shells but instead of chocolate you're just using butter cream
I’d rather it taste good and look bad then look good and taste bad so I’d say youre winning. Ive had so many good looking bad cupcakes, I just do muffins now.
I did not need to know how to make solid buttercream discs of joy. I really didn't. Screw the cupcakes, someone hand me the silicon sheet and no one gets hurt.
An easy cupcake decorating hack: melt your buttercream, pour it into a silicone mold (I went with a heart shaped one for Valentine’s Day!) then place a cupcake on it upside down, freeze for about 20 mins, and VOILA! Essentially no skills required for a perfectly shaped buttercream heart cupcake 🩷 #cupcakes #valentines #valentinesbaking #valentinescupcakes #buttercream #bakinghacks #bakingtips
@@Venomxxeditz it really doesn't hurt it. People often freeze the top layer of their wedding cake, wrap and freeze it and eat it for their 1 yr. Wedding Anniversary. Baker's kid here.
I love storing cakes/ brownies/ cupcakes in the freezer it makes them even more soft and moist after they thaw. I have a bunch of smaller candy molds I’m going to try this out in. Great idea, Thanks!
@@NyanyiC that’s a really good idea! I was also thinking an ermine buttercream would be better for this too because not too sweet and more firm. Love your idea. I gotta use that haha. Thank you. 🙏 ❤️
OMG! This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Talk about being able to hand a professional looking cupcake to someone, that was sooo easy to make. Thanks!
If you want less buttercream/frosting then im sure you can take a spoon and coat the sides of the mold (like you would to make a cocoa bomb) then either leave it empty or add fruit, jelly, gelatin, chocolate, basically anything and as long as you just add another layer of the frosting (so it sticks to the cupcake I'm sure it would still work.
i love this idea. form a jelly doughnut shape with the buttercream, hollow it out, fill it with custard, put it on the cupcake and then top it with some chocolate sauce... bavarian cream doughnut cupcakes! there's a lot of possibilities
Ive used molds like this to make peanut butter cups. I see no reason why you couldnt do something similar with icing and any other kind of filling. 🤷♀️ (Id just suggest eating it on a plate with a fork for less viscose fluids.)
As someone who hates too much frosting (not an “it’s unhealthy” thing more of a “too much frosting makes my stomach hurt” type of thing) I love this idea so much.
I think I'd like to try this with mousse. Just pour it into the mold before it sets. I'm having a hard time imaging doing this with buttercream. The idea of carefully aerating a nice fluffy butter cream and then melting it down kind of breaks my heart.
You've never tried melting buttercream to make the colors more vibrant? I do it all the time. I can never make my Swiss meringue buttercream bright/dark red or really black without melting it a bit. Just until it becomes a bit runny. Not really too liquid.
you can also use an immersion blender, however it doesn't work with every type of buttercream (iirc it didn't with American buttercream). You can aerate it again afterwards, it'll get lighter again, but still darker than originally @@zyedaph
Asking genuinely not being an azz but wouldn’t t this make the buttercream dense and not light and fluffy? It seems like it would change the texture and taste and turn the buttercream into a block of sugar butter? But I honestly don’t know I’ve never melted buttercream, I wonder if it does do that would a whipped cream or maybe an ermine frosting work well For it?
Depends on the buttercream recipe. Most recipes are way more sugar than butter, my mom's though, for example, is about equal sugar and butter, so it's not as sweet. Also you're not freezing it until solid. Buttercream takes way longer than 20 min to freeze until solid. You're just trying to make it firm enough to pull away from the mold.
You could also use white chocolate and make a shell with the mold and then pipe buttercream into the empty shell. It’s more work but not that much more and then you won’t have to worry about the buttercream being ruined by melting.
No, i didn’t know that i can melt buttercream, put it into a chocolate mold, tap out the air bubbles, and then place a cupcake on it upside down, put it in the freezer for about 20 minutes and then take it out to unmold a perfectly fully decorated heart-shaped cupcake.
You dont need to melt it you can just fill the mold (make sure to coat the inside well first so you have air pockets and ruin the design) then put the cupcake on then refrigerate/freeze it doing the same thing alowing you to keep the light texture rather then it being really dense from melting the buttercream. You can also carefully fill the molde smooththem out and put them in the freezer, then put a thin coat/piping of buttercream frosting on the cupcake, then take the molded part that was frozen and lightly score the part that goes on the cupcake and putting it on (created a better bond so the "decoration" stays, like you would do with a sculpture) let sit for 10-15 minutes then put in fridge to fully sit making it so there's little to none of the cupcake top showing (you can also do different colors it looks quite nice) for a better look.
exactly the comment I'm looking for. I mean it's a cool heck but I'm wondering maybe the recipe is different 'cause my buttercream is never that "solid" so why go through all that trouble and risk of ruining the texture if you can just work with pipable buttercream?

The fact you had to explain that is hilarious!
@@LoveMae1222 - Gotta love a baker!
@@LoveMae1222 it’s so infuriating lmao
My cupcakes always taste great but look terrible so this is a life saver!!
Same! ❤
Exactly!!!
I have the opposite problem, I'm such a bad baker but I love decorating and am quite good at it 🥲 I even mess up BOX MIX, somehow

Ove eaten icing out of a bowl many times in my life. Yup im that gal :/
Same though 😂😂😂
Why do cake decorators/bakers have the best job? They get to eat their mistakes.🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Make sure you use a spoon or something to eat it sticky fingers suck
Game changer for tiny decorations on top of buttercream too
I like the 3D effect on the cupcake😊
Me too, love it!
Same
me too, but i feel like that’s too much icing 😅
Polygonal is the word
@@jace3728 Thanks. Didn't realize there was another word for that.
A Rose mold would be great too ❤❤❤
I did that! :)
Exactly 💯 I'm gonna try that. Thanks!
Still roses are easy to pipe but you can’t really pipe a heart like this ❤
I just can’t stop thinking about how good that would taste

❤. Where did you find that mold? So cute!
@@joyv4727 it’s linked in my recommendations 💕
Wouldn't the cupcake freeze?
Hi, what type of buttercream do you recommend for this
@@Venomxxeditz it really
doesn't hurt it. People often freeze the top layer of their wedding cake, wrap and freeze it and eat it for their 1 yr. Wedding Anniversary.
Baker's kid here.
I only make Italian Meringue Buttercream (it's perfectly light and slightly sweet) so this is AMAZING!
What the recipe?
@Melissa-zs7ut Google it maybe?
Might curdle if you try to melt it with heat though since it's made with eggs
It's also going to kill the structure of your buttercream. Bye bye bubbles!
Sounds amazing
That is GENIUS!!! Thank you for sharing this amazing hack!!❤❤❤
Pretty perfect for a Steven universe themed party
Omg I want one!!! ❤🎉

Ooh I didn't know that . I got some cake today I'm gonna freeze it thanks !
Cookies too lol
People used to ask me at my old job how I'd get em so soft lol
Yall are making my life better with this info fr
@@peachesandpoetsI put everything in the freezer
@@gwenculver1040I put fruit in the freezer
Prettty but ain't no way I'm bitting into this much buttercream.
I thought that too, I’m also wondering how the texture would possibly negatively affect the flavor. Maybe if it was thinner? 🤔
You could scoop out some of the center and fill it with something else eg ganache, berry pie filling, curd etc
@@NyanyiC that’s a really good idea! I was also thinking an ermine buttercream would be better for this too because not too sweet and more firm. Love your idea. I gotta use that haha. Thank you. 🙏 ❤️
It’s really not that much more frosting than a swirl on top of a cupcake
I dunno, whenever I freeze buttercream it turns into a dense brick. I have to re-whip it to get it smooth and fluffy again.
OMG! This is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Talk about being able to hand a professional looking cupcake to someone, that was sooo easy to make.
Thanks!
If you find its too much buttercream, just use a smaller mold
I wish more people would just think of this before commenting that it's too much buttercream
It looks like the same amount to me 😂😂😂 I just don’t eat the frosting I don’t want
Or just fill the mold halfway up
If you want less buttercream/frosting then im sure you can take a spoon and coat the sides of the mold (like you would to make a cocoa bomb) then either leave it empty or add fruit, jelly, gelatin, chocolate, basically anything and as long as you just add another layer of the frosting (so it sticks to the cupcake I'm sure it would still work.
Wonderful idea! A strawberry inside would be an adorable reveal once pink frosting is bitten into

@@batacumba I LOVE that idea!
🤯 WoW!! *I LuV how angular they are* 💜 it REALLY REALLY *looks like you spent a long time* sculpting the icing 💜
Much better tasting & easier to do than using fondant to do it! You could also use chocolate if you don’t want as much sugar as what’s in buttercream!
omg this is perfect for my father!! his birthday is on friday, in one day!
Oooh, I’m excited to do it with flowers!!!

Super cool absolutely doing this for work on galentines day 😂❤

What happens to the buttercream when it comes to room temp? Does it hold its shape?
Nothing happens :) buttercream is a solid at room temperature (hence why we have to melt it for it to be pourable into the mold)
@@StillBusyBaking
🧁Cool!
Doesn’t buttercream tend to melt a little at room temp?
@@brooklin_bernek nope!
@@brooklin_bernek depends on where you live.
