Pastry Decorating : How to Make Whipped Icing for Birthday Cakes

[katenzcool]

is shortening nessecary??? What is it and what does it do to the icing? is there a substitute?

[jdtwind]

the video shows shortening being added, but how much? Also, what are the quantities for frosting for one two-layer cake?

[JaiBoogie531]

Yea I'm confused

[thecountrybaker]

For everyone who is confused on what type of frosting this is, its a swiss meringue buttercream sometimes called whipped icing. whipped icing to most people is made with heavy whipping cream, sugar and flavoring. hope this helps.

[jailedan]

she whipped the mixtures to make buttercream frosting

[mcuaron]

she says "that creates the butter-cream" then she says "and that's how you make whipped icing" ........WHICH ONE IS IT THEN?

[justyce18]

is that mock cream ewww

[emibeery]

Does this frosting calls for refrigeration?

[PhsycedelicPhish]

Does it set really hard so I can pattern over the top???

[jijigg1998]

great :D

[noahbell1]

This happened to be a great recipe. It wasn't too sweet or buttery tasting. It was just right. Loved it!

[31hunnybunch]

Hey, just wanted to stop by and say your cakes are great, i had a slice of one of your wedding cakes it was very good great taste , the icing is very nice .....being a sugar artist my self your work is beautiful and yummy.Oh by the way for those poeple who don't get it it is a whipped icing because she had to whip egg whites in it .The term whipped has nothing to do with none-dairy products...

[drchulo9]

beautiful good job

[FayL8183]

Can I use something else rather than shortening? My local supermarkets do not sell it. Im from the UK. Thanks.

[nanefy]

@FayL8183 You can get shortening in the UK, the brand is generally called Trex and you can buy it from Tesco

[wolfpupp]

Should've titled this buttercream icing. Normally people think whipped cream if it's titled whipped icing, not buttercream...even though they use nasty shortening. I've never used shortening. Just a cheap way to make the stuff, how gross.

[Mahshari]

That looks like buttercream frosting, not whipped frosting.

[ihavemyownissues]

Does anyone know how much of each thing is needed ?

[shalicewalker117]

Ok that is not whipped icing that is a Swiss buttercream change the title for your video that's all wrong smh

[tj72404]

Where are the kitchen utensils? Carrying butter with arms/hands and scraping the powdered sugar with those hands? Come on, you're professionals. Cleanliness is key.

[SquishiesGirl411]

gross i wouldnt want to eat that icing after the lady touched it with her dirty hands!

[000cutie000]

@SquishiesGirl411 Then NEVER go to any restaurant or diner :S it's worse.

[LocationConfirm]

@honeygodoo9 Well its pretty much lard. Fat. Well that's what i was told, lets hope its true because a teacher told me... but there not always right.

[rsdewd]

[castillo842008]

I did all of thAT but it didn't come out good. after I added everything toguether my icing just became watery it did not work for me. and yeah we need the measurements.

[earthangeltbug]

I have made it with just cool whip, powdered sugar, and yogurt. I let it sit for a day or two in the fridge to thicken and then put it on my cakes. It is delicious!

[dongoodyoli]

will this whipped icing for birthday cakes hold up to make roses? thank you for the ingredients

[xMUSICxQUEEN]

[rainewater24]

its fat from veggies... kinda like lard, only lard is from pigs...

[mlyfena]

I love this video. Can't express how thankful I am. Thank you so much for sharing!

[ajiles1]

Ok. Here are the measurements I use in my shop. Everything is by weight. For a small batch dissolve 1lb of sugar in 8 oz of egg whites.

cream 2lb 2 oz of butter (or sub 1 lb of shortening for 1lb butter if it is hot in your region) with 8 oz of powdered sugar & 2 tsp of vanilla.

I hope this helps.

[babypinxie]

[50motta]
