How to Make Cream Cheese Frosting

[ceci0729]

instead of butter can i use margarine?

[pastryparrot1]

@ceci0729 No. It will really affect the final result. Thanks for watching!

[brebreLUVSGIR]

woud this taste good with vanilla cake?

[pastryparrot1]

@brebreLUVSGIR Yes. I think it would be fine. Thank you for coming by!

[nickyejay09]

would you fill a cake with this? or frost it? how would you make peanut butter cream cheese frosting? what is the difference between frosting and icing? and how do you know when to use either one... sorry for all the questions? but i thank you in advance

[brebreLUVSGIR]

@nickyejay09 add peanut butter to it :) you can fill a cake with this and frost it but it might be better if you used as regular frosting. you can use either frosting or icing.

[poptartsrule96]

I'm making a homemade carrot cake today and this looks amazingly good!! I'm deffiantely using this recipe! Thank you so much!

[pastryparrot1]

@poptartsrule96 I hope this came out great! Thanks for coming by!

[misscutienay]

Hi, thanks for this video. Can this be used to pipe cupcakes and will it get hard. Im looking for an cream cheese icing thats not runny. Thank you

[pastryparrot1]

@misscutienay This will not get hard. I think it might be too soft for piping on cupcakes. Thanks for watching!

[themoneyking45]

is icing sugar is the same thing right

[pastryparrot1]

@themoneyking45 I think you might be looking for buttercream frosting. It is stiffer and you can use it decorating all kinds of cakes. Thanks for coming by!

[xKJx25]

How come my frosting is yellow-ish? why is the one at cinnabon's white? =\

[pastryparrot1]

@xKJx25 I have no idea how Cinnabon makes their frosting white. This acquires the yellow from the butter. Have a great day.

[hanadina123]

@pastryparrot1 they use white vegetable shortening instead of butter

[FesTinaX]

@pastryparrot1

Can i add coloring to the frosting?

[pastryparrot1]

@FesTinaX Go ahead. Thanks for watching!

[15mshotpink]

this was so helpful!! thank you !

[pastryparrot1]

@15mshotpink You are welcome! I am happy this helped!

[alexlee310]

ahh.. look at that dog in the backround at 0:18. so cute!

[pastryparrot1]

@alexlee310 Thank you! I appreciate you coming by!

[sidekicksisters3]

sadly my mom thinks 1:92 or less/more is too expensive :L

[pastryparrot1]

@AnaCutie16 Go ahead and use regular butter but not margarine. Your frosting might be a little salty but it will be fine. Thanks for watching!

[AnaCutie16]

@pastryparrot1 thanks!!

[pastryparrot1]

@AnaCutie16 Thank you!

[MrBessyTheCow]

thanks!

[pastryparrot1]

@MrBessyTheCow You are welcome! Have a great weekend!

[luckypatrice2]

omg can i lick those beaters!

[pastryparrot1]

@luckypatrice2 Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful day!

[VitaFLVS]

Can you use shortening instead of butter to keep the frosting white?

[pastryparrot1]

@VitaFLVS I have never used shortening with this so I do not know the answer to that. Sorry! Thanks for watching!

[KiisaKitten]

this s cheeeap .. lol i laughed at this and definitely looks GOOD !!(y)

[pastryparrot1]

@KiisaKitten Thanks for coming by! Have a wonderful week!

[olmoskarimova]

Thank you very much for cooking videos, they are all informative, I will try to learn to cook them!

[pastryparrot1]

@olmoskarimova You are welcome! Thank you for watching! Have a great week!

[tiffharr]

I know you said that the butter is supposed to be room temp, but is the cream cheese supposed to be room temp as well?

[pastryparrot1]

@tiffharr I really don't think it makes any difference other than making it easier to mix. Thank you very much for coming by!

[dejamusicilovelife13]

@tiffharr no it's not

[KRicketts98]

this sounds really easy so i might try it this weekend :)

[pastryparrot1]

@KRicketts98 I hope you do and love it! Thank you very much for coming by!

[theelsih]

Does it come out yellow or white?

[pastryparrot1]

@theelsih It will be bone color. Thanks for coming by!

[vsarocks]

I really like the way you talk! So entertaining :) Just one question: how long will the frosting stay in the fridge, in case I can't use up all of it?

[pastryparrot1]

@vsarocks Thank you! This frosting will keep for up to a week in the fridge. I appreciate you coming by!

[pastryparrot1]

@lazyzebra123 Awesome! I am happy this works for you. Weird how sometimes we get reminded of people when we someone! I am sure your aunt Thitsa rocks ;) Thanks for coming by!

[purplerose159]

this is random but can sour cream be a substitute for buttermilk?

[pastryparrot1]

@purplerose159 I guess it depends what you are making. For salad dressings, for example, possibly. For things like pancakes not really. Great question! Have a fantastic day!

[nabeelhayat]

Thankz for sharing, would it work with chocolate sponge cake ???

and can i use anything instead of cream cheese ??

[pastryparrot1]

@nabeelhayat This recipe needs to be made with cream cheese. I think it would work great with chocolate sponge cake, Thanks for watching!

[nabeelhayat]

@pastryparrot1

okay, i'll try to find it, i also used fresh cream, but itz difficult to handle, as its difficult to work with at room temp,

thankz for reply, and thankz for the recipe once again..... :)

[sweetpie33053]

thx its helpful and good

[pastryparrot1]

@sweetpie33053 You are welcome! I am happy this worked for you!

[awesomestcrystal]

i havent tried this yet ..but how come everytime i pipe my frosting ..it always melts?

[pastryparrot1]

@awesomestcrystal What kind of frosting are you using? Is is dairy based? If so, are you letting it sit out of the fridge for too long? Thanks for coming by!

[holeygreen]

cute dog passes by hehehe

[pastryparrot1]

@holeygreen Thanks!

[durgaaa]

Only expensive in that it packs on the pounds. New wardrobe!

[pastryparrot1]

@durgaaa Yes, if you eat it all the time. But once a year - say on your birthday - you should be fine. Thanks for watching.

[anisahsc]

thank you very much for your recipe n this video... I tried the recipe today and it came out perfectly .... the ingredients are simple n easy to find... it's really tasty and suit my taste... I know I dont hv to look for other recipe...thanks again

[pastryparrot1]

[colombianmakeup1]

I LOVE THE WAY YOU TEACH .....FUUNY AND SIMPLE HAHAHAH THAKS FOR THE RECIPE : )

[pastryparrot1]

@colombianmakeup1 Thank you so much! I am happy you like it. Thank you very much for coming by!

[mirtalina1231]

thank you... i will try it tomorrow. what will happen if i use salted butter?

[pastryparrot1]

@mirtalina1231 Your frosting will be a little salty. No big deal! I hope this comes out great.

[eatgarbage]

What kind of cream cheese do you use? There us no generic one in the uk, would it taste good with full fat philladelphia?

[pastryparrot1]

@eatgarbage That would be awesome! Philadelphia is the best! Thanks for coming by!

[mari5e1a0]

Just curious shouldn't the cream cheese be white !! I definitely tryn it ur way but just wondering thanks !! So easy n simple

[pastryparrot1]

@mari5e1a0 I think you will like this if you give it a try. You can buy colorless vanilla in some places in the US. However, the color is a question of preference I think. Thank you very much for coming by! Have a great weekend!

[KAleyBaldwin]

Thank You! : )

[pastryparrot1]

@KAleyBaldwin You are welcome! Thanks for coming by!

[19141208]

thank for video

[pastryparrot1]

@19141208 My pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[Vksan]

Hi there! What happens when I only have salted butter in hand? Will the taste be awful?

[pastryparrot1]

@Vksan No - it will not be awful. You will taste the salt a bit but no big deal. Go ahead and make your frosting. Good luck and thanks for coming by!

[Vksan]

@pastryparrot1 Thanks! =3

[KORUAPEHU]

What would the metric measurements be?

[pastryparrot1]

@KORUAPEHU 8 oz. will equal 227 grams - roughly. One cup is 8 oz. Thanks for coming by!

[musicdoll91]

How much servings does that make ? Can you double the recipe to make more if you need to ?

[pastryparrot1]

@musicdoll91 This is enough frosting to frost a 9x13 cake. Yes, you can double the recipe. Thanks for coming by!

[phatbeb0t]

so obviously i can make this and add food coloring rite? coz that looks yummy and really easy

[pastryparrot1]

@phatbeb0t Absolutely! Thanks for coming by!

[LiquoriceIsMyLife]

@tleustaquio DUDE! I have so had that problem before and it was driving me insane! I was making rice pudding, and finally realised it was the vanilla essence I was using! Make sure you buy top quality vanilla, otherwise there is a good chance it will leave a little soapy taste...

[pastryparrot1]

@tleustaquio That is so weird! Thank you for coming by! Happy 2011!

[bgirlhmoobvaj95]

Seems real easy too I'll c if when I do it it turns out lyk how u do it.

[pastryparrot1]

@bgirlhmoobvaj95 I am sure it will. Thanks so much for coming by!

[quasar]

i dont know whats wrong, but my frosting are too watery. i've put alot of powder sugar, about 3 cups! but its never gets the right consistency...

[pastryparrot1]

@quasar Maybe your cream cheese is not as thick as the one in the US? I do not know why it would be watery either. Thanks for coming by!

[pastryparrot1]

@irafrancisca23o7 You could try making this with a whisk but you will need to whisk really hard. Not impossible but quite a chore! Thanks for coming by! Oh, and yes, it is called a hand mixer.

[RequiemSoup]

Does it have to be confectioners sugar???

[pastryparrot1]

@RequiemSoup If you don't use confectioners sugar your frosting will have sugar granules in it. Try processing the sugar until it is really fine. That should work. Thanks for coming by!

[BIGBOSSandTHEDOLL]

We want to use this for Red Velvet cake.

[pastryparrot1]

@BIGBOSSandTHEDOLL Awesome! It will go beautifully on red velvet cake! Thanks for coming by!

[ms3alaya]

Thank you upload more videos ! It is easy

[ms3alaya]

[mukwah1111]

Love this cream cheese frosting recipe ! Cream cheese here in Ontario has gone thru the roof price wise...$3.79 a pkg.....is that crazy or what ? My cheesecake recipe takes 4 blocks of cream cheese !!! Almost $16 just for the cheese !! Lucky you with the low cost cream cheese I would be in heaven !!! Will definately make this when cream cheese goes on sale - which isnt often. All the best !

[pastryparrot1]

@mukwah1111 That is absolutely nuts! Wow! It would probably be cheaper to order it online from the US! Thank so much for coming by! I appreciate your support - a lot!

[mukwah1111]

@pastryparrot1 I know ! Crazy huh ! We have just as many cows as you do ! That produce milk ! Dairy here is probably double what it is in the states ....how can this be ? Nuts !!! MOOOOOOOOOO You are always a treat ! Have a wonderful wknd !!!

[lovelyhairbear]

love your energy! you're so cute! keep up the good work! =)

[pastryparrot1]

@lovelyhairbear Thank you so much!

[fezan84]

You should do a video on your dog =D

The frosting looks awesome, I could seriously eat that entire bowl by itself hahaha.

[pastryparrot1]

@fezan84 me too . . . it is so hard to keep away from it! My dog is crazy! You should see him jump up - so very high - when he smells something he wants to eat! Funny, funny stuff.

[jumpinjacksflash]

thanks for sharing,I'll be sure to try this over the weekend :))

[pastryparrot1]

@jumpinjacksflash Thank you again!
