  • Hi and welcome back to my kitchen. I get asked so many questions about the buttercream that I use for my cakes and cupcakes so for this weeks cake decorating tutorial I thought it was about time I updated my Buttercream Recipe tutorial as the one on my channel is now 7 years old.
    In this video I go through my easy recipe for American buttercream and answer your questions like that butter to use, how to get it smooth and creamy, how to get rid of air bubbles, how to make chocolate buttercream and so much more.
    ★RECIPE
    340g / 12oz - Icing Sugar
    170g / 6oz - Room Temperature Salted Butter
    1.5 tbsp - Milk
    1 tbsp - Vanilla Favouring (or favouring of your choice)
    I really hope you enjoy the tutorial and it will help with your own buttercream creations. Thank you so much for watching and don't forget to like the video and subscribe for more cake decorating tutorials!

      Also: For the confectioner's sugar - sift then measure? Or, measure then sift? Also, try and purchase clear vanilla so the color of the ordinary vanilla won't discolor your buttercream.

    This recipe is good for beginners. I must say I started from american buttercream up until now. 👍 I use it on my cakes and cupcakes. I prefer american buttercream than meringue because, it will last for 2 weeks or 1 month inside the freezer.

So, thank you...I am going to do a good long practice run tonight. One last thing.. please don't ever change the way you share your knowledge with us! I just love that you do not rush and you explain the how's and why's of everything you do. I always learn something from you. God bless...

      Real butter is only found in blocks.
      Not marge
      Not spread
      Not spreadable butter- in tubs and blended(I.e. diluted) with oil and/or water
      Not Stork
      Not anything else.
      It's called just "butter". And it's in a block. Or "stick" as the yanks say .

Just FYI to any other beginners, I reduced the icing sugar quantity (300g instead of 340g) just to make it slightly less sweet. I also used stork from a tub instead of butter and had no issues. Thank you again 💗

    About the butter, and using the sticks of butter instead of the tubs. This explains SO much, I just made my husband a birthday cake yesterday, and made buttercream for the first time. I used a tub, because that's all we had, but it wouldn't firm up at all. Thank you for such a well explained video!!
