How To Make Perfectly Smooth American Buttercream Frosting - The Scran Line

OK, this frosting is in direct response to all the people who message me asking for frosting that isn’t too sweet or grainy. If that’s what you’re after, then this frosting is for you! This frosting looks silky, which makes it perfect for frosting smooth cakes. Just be careful though, because it can be a little softer than American buttercream frosting which is firmer. So, if it’s a warm day, I’d use American buttercream frosting instead.

I totally neglected how simple and easy it is to make American buttercream. I always preferred the Swiss method. You make this method look so good and effortless. I might just give it try again. Thanks for sharing nick.♥️

A beautiful Czech woman once told me the key to good buttercream is to beat the hell out of it.

Thanks Nick!

You always manage to teach me/us something new... Going to make some salted carmel buttercream asap !!!

Nick could you please do a video about adding choclate to recipes. Mostly which kind of chocolate to add or use in what. For example, sometimes when adding cocoa to a buttercream some people add powder like you showed here. But some bakers also add a melted & cooled chocolate. I just wonder what is the best to use ? Ghirardelli coating choclate ? Bakers chocolate or choclate chips ??

A what is best to use for what recipes. Its hard to know what to buy from the store b/c when youtubers do a video and use melted choclate they usually dont show what form it was in before melting.... Bars/chips or does it matter?? Or should i say when does it matter ?🤔🤦lol
