Dear Tammy.

Quick question can we use granulated sugar?

sincerely nerimonster

[yoyomax12]

Not in this recipe, but I have another that uses it (super fluffy not-too-sweet cooked frosting)

Dear Tammy,

I Have Tried Making That Frosting But When I Mix The Sugar Butter It Doesnt Get Fluffy It Gets Like A Thick Paste! Do You Have Any Idea Why?

Sincerely,

Nerimonster

[yoyomax12]

All I can suggest is to continue beating it until it fluffs up, you have to beat it for a long time

[Clayqueen0420]

do you have to add vanilla?

[yoyomax12]

This frosting needs some kind of flavouring, you can use almond or lemon extract too

[yoyomax12]

Yes, whatever flavour you want.

Hi, love your videos !

Just a tip: when you put a link from another video to this video on how to make icing/buttercream, the last part of this video was shown , and not the start where you show how to make icing.

Just a tip so your viewers see the right part of the video :-)

Who have made your 'start song'? (sorry if I ask stupid).
