How To Make Frosting For Wedding Cakes

[xtremegamr615]

Thank you so much! This really helped! Adding food coloring makes the experience better! :)

[leviathia10]

Swiss meringue? That's it?

[dominykas1199]

He looks like the guy from how i met your mother! :O

[TheNikitaProductions]

for how long do we mix it?

[Kino1124]

@kawaikeki123

I think granulated sugar is normal sugar.

[Kino1124]

@Gilyization The recipe is

1 1/2 Cups Granulated Sugar

6 egg whites

and a pinch of salt.

I was looking for wedding cake recipes and this was one of the steps and i had no idea what it meant when it said "mix until soft peaks form" and "Fold in .." i didnt know that i was making icing, well meringue i should say. This "Icing" recipe helped me make a wedding cake lol :P

[Gilyization]

@Kino1124 thanks :)

[kawaikeki123]

exactly how much is 1 1/2 cup of sugar?

[kawaikeki123]

will normal or caster sugar work the same as granulated sugar?...i don't know what that is =/

[kawaikeki123]

what sugar did he said to use? ..i didn't get what he said..

[ArmenianGirl2105]

does this icing harden or crust a little like buttercream icing if its let outside?

[jamielynhughes]

I tried this today and if you have ever had marshmellow fluff, I thought it tasted similar to it. As for the consistency i continued to mix the icing until it cooled and once it cooled it was like glue. i tried it and i stuck to my mouth and was similar to royal icing... what did i do wrong?

[Gilyization]

anyone have this recipe written? I can't understand all that he speak :-/ my english is no very good :(

[Yessimisa]

@Gilyization hi this is what he said i wrote it down................. 1 1/2 cups of granualated sugar............6 egg whites......1 pinch of salt.................mix it together then mix it again on top of the hot water for atleast 7 minutes until you feel the heat coming out.....then mix again on high speed until it cools down and looks like shaving cream for about 7 min ...................and thas all he said...:)

[Gilyization]

@Yessimisa thanks :)

[zikr100]

thats meringue

[MrKsaFalcon]

what the different betwen this and buttercreame Frosting

what the better to use for the cake ?

[metalbabe21]

i did everything exactly, and mine did not come out fluffy :( and it did make my cake soggy. how can i fix this?

[humannaturedj]

I'm a little confused. This is obviously meringue, but...no butter? I thought they all had butter :/

[jedichocccake]

I've found that the egg whites eventually break down and can get the cake soggy. How do you prevent this other than serving immediately?

[catwomisen]

@jedichocccake I'm no pro and haven't tried this recepie, but my guess would be that the salt and heating process helps with that, :)

[jedichocccake]

@catwomisen Thanks for the input. Yeah, it does help a little. When I tried the buttercream recipe from the Barefoot Contessa version I made the icing, but omitted the butter. It was during the summer and really humid, so it just deflated with the butter. I iced a cake using the 'meringue' version and it got the cake a little soggy. I also iced it the night before because I didn't have time on the day. Everyone still ate it, lol. :)

[riyayt]

your tips are excellent........and easy too!

[tsingkay18]

hmmm..yummy! i really like it

[anubuis123]

yes!! Know i can eat frosting just by itself everyday yummy 83

[ViviVaaj]

i love frostings can you make me one

[FRIENDSKEEPER]

thanks sir,,so clear got it...

[NannaMorrison1]

thanks for the tip with the separated eggs! :P

[HollisterSupporter]

They have Ziploc in England? Wierd...

[caille101]

There's another way to make it. When you've got no stand mixers around and just handheld ones.

[monitta2510]

Is this Royal Icing?

[ewva314]

@monitta2510 No, this is meringue. Royal icing is when you mix egg whites with powdered/confection sugar, not granulated sugar.

[wastedtalent09]

i tried this & it never got thick like shaving cream, it stayed frothy & soupy... i swapped the sugar with stevia (cuz im a bodybuilder & diet conscious). does anyone know if thats why it didnt get thick, cuz of me using stevia instead of powdered sugar?

[roseforvendetta]

this really is simple. thank you so much posting this recipe

[sunflowerjuly13]

wow.fast and clean.ill do that on my sons birthday, tnx

[xChamoyx]

in other words.....how to make Meringue.

[hiri786]

@xChamoyx swiss meringue

[sandyswizz]

who know thge recipes in portugues or german?? thanks :)

[HellsBells666100]

Wow this looks cool but if u want to make a smaller amount do u subtract one egg white for every quarter cup of sugar coz i only want to frost cupcakes...

[friends123sitcom]

can i use a hand held mixer?

[TheGayRight]

@friends123sitcom Absolutely, I do it all the time! This is actually just a Swiss Meringue though, if you were to add butter to it at the end of this video, in small chunks, it will make a fantastic butter-cream. Don't get discouraged if it begins to look like it curdles, whip it at high speed and it will come together.

[HunnieRawrr143]

Cann Put Thaat Frosting Inn Cupcakees ??! :D'

[laazu2]

can i put that frosting on top of cupcakes????

[DellaMoody]

[jaccor45]

Can you make this with a hand mixer?

[11tractorboy]

[mylilhannah]

@11tractorboy really. never would have expected that.

[727bsr]

You did not show us how to make wedding cake frosting. Rather, you showed us how to make what has always been called "7 minute Frosting". But note, 7 minute frosting is not typically used on wedding cakes -- at least not in the United States that is.

vidente

[roseforvendetta]

@727bsr well it can be i have seen 7min icing on wedding cakes.

[beaboyy]

a healthier version.. i gotta try it.. have seen many other videos but they use too much butter or shortening..

[keenten2s]

thank you so much....im gonna try to my daugther birthday...love it...



[ArmenianGirl2105]

when spread on the cake, would this frosting harden a little ( it wont stick to ur fingers) if we leave it outside?

[Bunnyhops4u]

I finally found one with the right consistency, Others were to hard or too watery! THanks :D

[esmydeleon83]

Thank u I don't make wedding cakes but my daughters bday cakes turn out amazing n the frosting is good.

[nikki1998batgirl]
