Quick Way to Make Betty Crocker Frosting Smooth & Easy to Pipe

The short answer is: YES!

Remember NOT to freeze the piping tip. Freeze only the buttercream. If you freeze the tip, the tip gets super cold and it's really hard to pipe.

At the end of the video (if you're curious or just fed up with piping technique), I'm gonna convince you to give up piping and do buttercream painting instead! What? Haha. Yes..

Why buttercream painting?
- it's really forgiving. You can use any kind of buttercream consistency. With piping, you want to make sure that it's a bit stiffer (that's why we cool and whip the frosting so that it's fluffy and stiff)
- The only tool you need is just a palette knife! With piping, you need piping bag and different piping tips. I don't know about you, but I'm a bit tired of washing those tiny tips. Palette knife is really easy to clean
- It's truly so satisfying to paint on cake or cupcake. Once you try it, I think you're gonna get hooked

Hi, I have watched many of your videos and I still have questions. Should I crumb coat on frozen cake layers with chilled store-bought icing? After the cake is decorated with rosettes can I leave it in a glass cake dome on the counter or refrigerate it as we eat it?

Will the icing melt after it’s sitting out? Like while being displayed?
