HOW TO MAKE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING (7-17-10)

This is day 80 of my vlog. Back in the kitchen on Saturday. I'm going to show you how to make a buttercream frosting, which you can use for decorating cakes, cupcakes and other sweet treats. In this demonstration I will be using it to frost cupcakes and make roses with it as well. This is not my recipe, but a recipe that I found here on youtube by another wonderful and talented cake decorator. They also shows the different consistences and stiffness for the different uses of buttercream. So check out her channel along with the amazing work that they do.

Why do you add corn syrup to the buttercream frosting? What is the purpose for this ingredient? Thanks!

[picantesworld77]

@HomewreckerHaHa The purpose of using corn syrup is to thin out the thick consistency of the buttercream, instead of adding water. Which you can also do if you choose to use the buttercream for writing. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

Hi

I just want to leave a comment about the camera work. If you will look at your video you will see that the cameraman is moving the camera around for effect. Well , I was only able to take this fancy camera work for 2:12 Min. into the video, and I had to quit watching.

In 1968 I took the Dale Carnegie course here in Chicago, and one of the first things we learned that first night was, " Don't let the manner distract from the matter." well that is exactly what has taken place here.

@picantesworld77 IT WAS AWESOME!! I MADE MY VERY FIRST 3D BUNNY CAKE AND IT TURNED OUT SO MUCH BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD! YAY ME!! THANKS AGAIN!! :)

[picantesworld77]

@amberlu87 Your very welcome. Let me know how it goes when you do it.

[amberlu87]

@picantesworld77 Thank you so much!!

[picantesworld77]

@amberlu87 Yes it is. What you can do is after you get to the stage where it's done. Take the majority of the icing out of the mixer. Leave just enough to where you think will be enough to crumb coat the cake(s) your going to do. Then if you need to thin it out add more cream or milk to do so. If you do too stiff consistency, you'll wind of tearing up the cake like crazy. I find that that having a somewhat of a thinner consistency help to do the crumb coat so that way you don't rip up the cake.
