[limegreensims]

would a creamy white frosting work the same way as buttercream frosting?

[Bunnydenmark1990]

EWW! i would never combine does for makeing fondant, :S... and you need pastuatisiced eggs to (i dont know how to spell it .. ) But a lot of ingredienses are missing :) lol

[Twinksle]

@Bunnydenmark: She wasn't making fondant icing, she was making buttercream. You're absolutely right, fondant is far more complicated and needs many more ingredients, but buttercream is really yummy... you should try it some time! ^_^

[scoopster14]

make marshmallow fondant...its alot easier and you dont need much to do it...theres plenty of youtube videos on howta make it.

[angeleyes11966]

I use the Wilton butter cream recipe and it is very tasty i think. I use butter, vanilla, & almond flavoring, shortening, powdered sugar, meringue powder, & water. I have never made it with pure butter. May try it sometime.

[JudyWonn]

where would you get meringue powder from?

[angeleyes11966]

You can get the meringue powder from Michaels or Walmart.

[LCandBriTV]

WalMart has it in their cake decorating dept.

[utopiad4]

What about the shortening? And Heavy Whip cream taste way better than plain milk. I used this recipe (JUST TO SEE WHAT IT TASTE LIKE) an just as I thought....A mouth full of butter. Yuck!

[byac06]

I knew it would taste like straight up butter~!

[XPoppycockX]

Ha I just read the packet of icing sugar and it said 175g of icing sugar to 75g of butter so the ratio is actually 7:3 .

[byac06]

That butter creme was a creation of a hot mess!!! No flavoring, no shortening to add stability. I bett it did taste like straight up butter!!!!!!!

[loveanimeforever46]

I agree completely, but there's no need to be so stingy about it. IF you have a better recipe, than share it

[byac06]

First let me say that Im not bein stingy. I gave my opinion, bc it is a creation of a hot mess. How about you share your recipe??? . Lets try this again. That butter creme was a creatoin of a hot mess.

[loveanimeforever46]

so... you don't have a better recipe>=)

[byac06]

I sure do! I dnt share my recipes, so how about you share yours!

[loveanimeforever46]

you don't share yours, but you expect me to share mine?

[byac06]

Honestly I dont care. I guess they wont get either one of them,

[loveanimeforever46]

I don't really care either, i apologize for calling you stingy before. So there, its over

[byac06]

Its all good! But girl you gotta admimt, that does look like a bowl of butter straight outta the refrigerator!!!!!!

[milkcarton7694]

yep, its a really bad recipe-- i wouldn't really call it a recipe at all

[GeiserAlexis]

@byac06 it is actually really good my aunt sent me a recipe like this but she put a bit of vanilla extract

[fnazr]

I dont like icing sugar it toooooo sweet try creme freche and double cream and icing sugar. Mix all of them together on slow speed for two min the high speed until volume increases. grate some chocolate using a cheese grater u know so it looks like the chocolate flake and sprinke on top ull love it.

ENJOY

[KiLLEDBYTHENAME]

I have seen a longer one. XD

[prayer4you08]

One stick butter, to two cups sugar is more like it.

[xoiloveyoux2]

yeah i was gonna say, one cup to one cup?!?!?! i use 1 stick of butter and 1 cup of shortening with 8 cups of powdered sugar!!!!! and i sometimes i even put more in cause it does get that over buttery taste.

[kloweee418]

hahahhaa. exactly my thoughts when i saw it.

[punk1023hi1]

ok today i made this thinking it would taste grate...sadly iwas wrong i went through the recipey many times it calls for 1 stick of butter zand 1 cup of powdered sugar...it taste like butter..melted in less then 5 mins. and made upset

[aazazaz]

very good but u should get ione machine that has a moving wisk it would help and same time

[anony756]

shouldn't there be more sugar than one cup of sugar to one stick of butter?

[countkostaki]

The CORRECT way to make butter icing is to use double the sugar to the butter, ie 4oz margarine or butter and 8oz sugar (or other even amounts). You first need to sift the sugar. Then you beat the fat with an electric beater until it is soft and creamy (don't make it turn too oily), then beat in the sugar spoon by spoon. If you do it this way you should never have lumps and will avoid the need for using milk (although you can add a teaspoon of lemon juice or the grated rind of a lemon).

[weebob360]

sehr true :) although theres no neeed to put the sugar in spoon by spoon, that just wastes your time but i agree with you about the quantities.

[quinnerific]

1 stick of butter is 1/2 cup (4oz) and 1 cup of sugar is 8 oz. Isn't that the same as what she said?????

[mkr85]

adding it by spoonful is recomended by most proffesional bakers because it give the mixture enough time to fully get blended before you add more and thus no lumps and infact does save time in the long run and it also helps prevent a mess. Pouring all of one ingredient into the mixer will cause it to spray everywhere if you dont have the gaurds on. Also baking is very sensitive and some things require ingredients to be slowly added this way to get the correct texture. Baking can be tricky.

[weebob360]

haha yes fair enough i have vivid memories of that happening :)

[cycloria]

A tip I've found that helps to get pure white icing (when using crisco) get toothpick and put just a dab of violet coloring into the icing and it makes it pure white.  I dunno how it works but it does work :)

[lilgreenchicken]

because violet is the opposite of yellow... they cancel each other out leaving a neutral/"pure white" coloring... same goes for hair color....

[TheAudi602]

I make my by boiling sugar and water to soft ball then i whip my egg whites to medium stiff peak then add the soft ball sugar wait till its at about 98 degrees then add butter its pure white unless you cook your sugar to long

[FlaviaR]

I find it interesting that she is using soy milk instead of regular milk - it MUST be a texture thing, because surely you cant be worried about either cholesterol or lactose intolerance when you're using all that butter.

I also think this is American buttercream, rather than classic buttercream.

[cheeesytreees]

it seems like she is at home, it's probably jus what she had in her fridge lol...

[lexxwolfen]

Buttercream icing is used more for fillings and icing the cake rather than making flowers and decorations. Royal icing is what you'd use for flowers and decorations.

[tundranights]

Nope, I use buttercream for roses and decorating for work, royal icing roses are more for the side of the cake, and the only time I've use royal icing to decorate a cake was for display purposes only.

[2001118]

how to make white butter icing?

[kriskarson]

for a white butter cream icing use crisco instead of butter. you can add butter flavoring to it but be sure any flavorings you add i.e. vanilla or almond, are clear, otherwise you would have an ivory color, which wouldn't be bad either :)

[PirateFan308]

i have usd crisco but my icing still turns yellow. is there anything else I can change to make it a purer white?

[countkostaki]

For buttercream icing try using a spoonful more of icing sugar to make the icing thicker than usual, but then adding some freshly squeezed lemon juice to make it the correct consistency. It usually works well for me because the acidity from the lemon will whiten the icing. Royal icing will always be pure white, because it's made with egg white and sugar.

[kriskarson]

make sure you are using regular crisco and not the butter flavored. What recipe are you using?

[lilgreenchicken]

a drop of violet food coloring... like the person said above, its color theory... check a color wheel.. any color you're trying to tone down can be done with its complementary or opposite color..

[BigGirlzDontCry]

Thank you. It was very helpful.

[elementalone75]

How very uncalled for.

[iheartrainbows88]
