I’ve been making and decorating cakes for over 50 years. While this video didn’t teach me much that I didn’t already know, I appreciate her lessons. I always use salted butter and often add a pinch more salt to dampen the sweetness.

This was so helpful, I've never made a better buttercream in my life! I stuck to using the lowest setting and only adding the icing sugar to the butter 1/4 at a time.
For anyone else using a handheld mixer, I used the dough hook attachments instead of the whisks and it worked a treat!

I always beat my buttercream on a low speed for quite a while after I have mixed it together and I find that helps get rid of any air bubbles. Thank you for your wonderful videos!

6:01 Emily this was a great tutorial. As a beginner I made a sponge cake and made your buttercream icing. It was easy to make with your instructions. It turned out white, smooth and tasted so good. Right now cake is in frig and the crumb coat finished. Can’t wait to do more decorating on the cake.Thank you!

It watching your video I realized the recipe is what I have been using for years on my Christmas cookies and cinnamon rolls. Very cool.

Great tutorial. I have always increased the speed! Will try to remember to whisk on a low speed when making the buttercream. Thank you x

I use a ratio of 50/50 butter to icing sugar, adding either cream or milk to get the required consistency. It is not painfully sweet at this ratio, also use salted butter.

[mobany]

Hi, thank you for such great tips. Just one question should the cream be chilled or in a room temperature while adding ?

[gajen]

Tried it for the first time came about at the right texture and taste. Brought back memeories, is this considered britishi butter cream?. Thank you for this.

Ma'am, my mom made your vanilla frosting for my sister's birthday cake last week it was simply delicious and irresistible. Ma'am can you show us how to make chocolate version frosting and we're not worry about the sweetness cuz everyone in my family has sweet tooth included my grandparents. God bless medical student Malaysia 😋✌️❤️🙏
