I have watched so many, "how to get smooth buttercream " videos and you are the only person that's ever mentioned that buttercream develops air bubbles after sitting on the counter!! You have single-handedly saved my sanity! 😂 I thought I was doing something wrong. I was driving myself crazy and ready to quit making cakes. I love you! ❤️ Thank you, thank you and thank you! ❤

I’ve been a hobby decorator for about 10 years. Took me a loooong time and practice to get smooth buttercream. Like anything else, doing something consistently, especially weekly, it gets easier. I only did about 10 or so cakes a year, and spaced apart. It took a long time for each cake. But eventually I got there. I learned that mixing/slapping technique, it really does remove a lot of air bubbles. Your tips were great. Even this 70 + year old grandma learned something. And I’ve watched a LOT of videos 🤪 The angle you hold your spatula on top I can already tell is much better than what I’ve been doing. And I realize I’ve been putting too much pressure with my scrapper. Too much bc coming off. And I’ve always applied my buttercream with a spatula. Resisted using a piping bag. But seeing the ease of application, and getting the same levelness of icing, absolutely trying. As I will the others. Thanks for the video and the tips and tricks. 👍👍

I've watched 3 of your videos and love them all. These tips provide me with that edge I need to make my cakes better (even though people like what I make). Your tutorials clearly explain what I need to do to improve my smoother buttercream, piping skills and writing with chocolate! Thank you Georgia!

This tutorial is great. I can clearly see little mistakes I've been making. Like not having the cake too cold/frozen :) to start and especially the movement when starting to smooth. Also, I need to slow down! Thanks again, looking forward to having another go at this.
