So Happy and excited to announce my cookbook! Pre-Order your copy today! preppykitchen.com/cookbook/ ♥

He seems like such a nice guy.

"Your gonna use a padel attatchment" Me whos to broke to use anything other than my hand mixer from 2001:

"Use a high quality nice vanilla" Me with my imitation vanilla: i ain't seen shit︶👄︶✨

INGREDIENTS ▢1 tbsp vanilla 15mL ▢1 lb confectioner's sugar 454g ▢1 cup unsalted butter 225g, room temperature ▢3 tbsp heavy whipping cream 45mL ▢1/2 tsp salt Instructions Whip the butter and salt for about a minute using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. You can use a hand mixer instead if needed. Sift in the confectioner’s sugar in several batches beating on low after each addition. Scrape the bowl down and repeat the process. Add a tablespoon of the cream while mixing on low then add the vanilla. Beat until you have an even, fluffy consistency. You can add more cream or milk if desired for a thinner consistency. Notes: Sift your powdered sugar to avoid clogging piping tips. Scrape the bowl down; to help ensure even consistency throughout. You can use almost anything to flavor buttercream, fruit juice, coffee, orange blossom or rose water, melted chocolate, or Oreos! If your buttercream has been sitting for a while or was chilled and brought back to room temperature it's always a good idea to give it a quick whip to restore it's consistency. If you're looking for a very spreadable and very smooth icing, you can add the full amount of cream in (and maybe even a bit more).

me being british watching this video: him: my shag cake me: your what???

226 gm/1cup unsalted- butter (soft to touch- room temp) Paddle attachment 454gm/ 1lb sugar sifted 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1-4tbsp heavy cream (needed as per stiffness needed)

I know this is late but... If you really want white you should add a tiny amount of violet gel colouring. About the tip of a toothpick or less depending on the amount of buttercream you have. Yellow & purple are opposites on the colour wheel so they cancel each other out 😀

You are like the Bob Ross of baking 😂. So happy to have found you! ❤️

182 comments and 99% just chit chat and never try the recipe so those of us who want to know about the consistency. Etc can learn something. Thanks chit chatters for the no help. Well I TRIED IT and it was silky, sweet with no grit. My vanilla was pure but not the best brand. So ill fix that. But i loved the recipe and its a keeper. Im not even a vanilla lover so that says it all. Thanks!!

Seriously somebody needs to give you a show!!! So inspiring and such a great teacher xoxo ❤️

I've used this recipe 4 times now! I get amazing piping results! The taste is perfect and I get so many compliments on it. I've also tried your chocolate buttercream recipe and it was a hit! Thank you for sharing such a great recipe! Absolutely delicious!

Thank you so much for your thorough explanations. I've been trying to follow at least 3 other tutorials over the last three years ('cause I make one yearly cake), and only by following yours, I've finally pulled up a perfect Italian buttercream. You've solved my doubts and fears about the consistency drop when adding the butter, how to wake the batter when it has sat in the fridge, and the right way to check if the syrup was ready. Then, indirectly, you've made my daughter-in-law the happiest child ever with her flowery buttercream decorated cake. My wallet is even more pleased because I didn't have to buy such an expensive cake at the local bakery. I'm grateful at so many levels :) Cheers!

Much as I enjoy the recipes themselves, half the fun is watching his presentations Just makes ya smile.

i'm so conflicted as to what buttercream i should use whenever i do! i'd love to see a video on that, maybe about what the different buttercreams are best for and what their advantages and disadvantages are

Thank you so much for this recipe!! We tried it once while making cupcakes with a friend and now we use this every time! It is SO delicious and has a great texture must try!!!!

Just finished making the most wonderful buttercream for 4 cakes!!,!(3 separate bdays and a funeral) over the July 4 week. Buttercream is so simple with just three ingredients in the back of every powdered sugar bag. But it’s all these details the preppy kitchen offers that makes it go from plain buttercream to superb buttercream. “Low and slow” is my new motto. I actually washed the dishes and swept and mop the kitchen floor while the mixer was slowly making my perfect icing.

Whenever I see a notification from your channel it brings a smile to my face. I love watching your videos and trying it out too. Love you John and thank you for sharing all these videos. May God bless you dear.

"Do I have butter on my nose?" Crash, test pattern. Hilarious! I like it when people can laugh at themselves, it shows good character. And a fun recipe! Thanks!

I have never had anyone to TEACH like he does! Amazing job and so thorough.

Just made this buttercream. My 6 year old daughter said this recipe is her favorite because she can easily pipe roses on the cupcakes. Thank you for this recipe. I love watching your videos!

Thank you thank you for not only making me laugh and smile, but for being so kind and sharing your recipes. I plan to make this pronto!!

I love how down to earth you are. I truly enjoyed this video, including the bloopers. The way you explain everything in detail really helps. Thanks for sharing!

You’re so awesome .. it’s your personality that makes me watch you over so many others , even if it’s near the same recipe .. but notably- yours is usually hands down the best. Absolutely no question. Thank you for the joy.. and recipes. 🤗

Beautiful buttercream !! All your tips made a huge difference, especially the vanilla bean paste. Glorious product !!

thanks for your videos - you explain each step and why you do each thing so well - and i love that it's not scripted and edited - just like the rest of us when we bake!

I’ve made this twice now for cupcakes. I use Costco’s pure vanilla extract. This recipe is so delicious and easy. Never buying store frosting again! 😋😋😋

I made buttercream frosting but it’s a small batch, so I make anther one because I need to do some decorations. The weather in Los Angeles is warm, the cold water has gone. Another issue that I had to solve. My frosting was very soft, I added more powdered sugar and was much better. Decorating cakes is a very work. Thanks Mr John Canelli por your patient teaching us. God bless you.

I love how you placed your striped heart sugar cookie on the shelf! ❤️ They are pretty enough to be decor

So good! Just made for my mother’s strawberry and buttercream birthday cake ❤️

I love the way you teach you are a very humble and down to earth person besides your recipes are amazingly beautiful

I just tried to make this recipe and I have successfully executed it. It looks beautiful when you pipe it. But.. I just wanna warn non Americans like me that this is extremely sweet for our taste. Just one little try and sugar levels goes high in your blood. Tastes insanely sweet. His swiss buttercream recipe is much much better for us. :)

I love your videos. Keep baking and smiling it’s contagious 😁

Again, I love the way you teach. Being new to baking, I want to learn the "why" of ingredients, not just the recipe. How do they go together, what flavor do they give, what are the errors that can be made...you seem to answer the questions completely!

Just wanted to say that I LOVE you! Be encouraged. I know that when you are teaching as recipe what I makes comes out fantastic! Be well! Congrats on the cookbook. Here’s to being on the New York Seller’s List. Much Love!

Looks really good! He makes it look so easy to make! Thanks to your video my husband was able to make his first cupcakes from scratch. 👊🏽👊🏽♥️🍰

I love that you leave the bloopers and retakes in. Endearing! 💕

Does anyone agree with me that he looks alot like Clark from superman movie?! Hes so perfection in everything great channel🙌

I was smiling watching you. Your joy is contagious, you look and sound in love. You ate totally talking to your audience and not the camera. Watching you is enjoyable and educational

OMG! I'm addicted to your baking videos and I think I'm in love with you!

John, where have you been all my life! I just found you and can't stop watching your videos! Thanks for the tips and your great sense of humor.. Where does one acquire the most awesome cupcake turntable you use? Thanks again for sharing yourself with all of us!!

This is the first video of yours that I have watched. I'm thoroughly impressed. Keep up the great work.

I love the way he taste tested the first time. So cute!

Recipe: 1 tbsp vanilla 15mL 1 lb confectioner's sugar 454g 1 cup unsalted butter 225g, room temperature 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream 45mL 1/2 tsp salt

Before vanilla beans became sky high in price I bought a bulk bunch of high quality beans and a large bottle of Everclear (which I think is illegal in CA). I split the beans, put them all in the bottle and put the bottle in my spice cabinet. I shook the bottle every time I used a spice so it was combined regularly. This has been soaking and sitting since early 2010 and the liquid is darker than I drink my coffee and smells like heaven. I have a huge bottle of high quality vanilla that cost so very little. When the beans come back down in price do try this. It only takes a few months to get a usable vanilla and it only gets better with age.

I swear your laugh makes me laugh every time thank you for this videos I’m beginner and you making me learn so much!!! 😂❤️🤪🧁

I've watched soo many of your videos and this one I finally subscribed. Thank you for being amazingly awesome and finding those perfect recipes.

My moms birthday is Wednesday and I want to bake her a cake but I’ve never done it before. I’m going to use one of your other videos along with this one!!! Very easy to follow

Tried it, love it, recommend you go light on the third tbsp of heavy whipping cream.

Wow! Just made this buttercream and it's delicious. Not disgustingly sweet like other recipes I've tried. Thank you!

So one of my dreams is to have a bakery and I love watching your videos because you also give a bunch of insight and tips. Thanks!!

Thanks for this... I used your vanilla cake recipe twice already and I’m using to make my birthday cake today and using this recipe for the frosting also ☺️😁

You have inspired me to start baking, I'm hoping to make my birthday cake next month!! I'm excited and can't wait to see the outcome of my cake inspired on you!! Love your videos!! Blessings and thank you for all you recipes ❤

I made this yesterday and my family loved it ! They could not stop getting spoons to taste. Thank you !

I like the way he slowly walks you through the process

I tried it last night ,and it is amazing .thank you so much for making this video.

In love with your channel 💕, you’re such an inspiration. Please do a french macarons tutorial. I checked your previous episodes, I couldn’t find one.

Thanks... love the tips and it is so good for piping and delicious!!

I used his recipe for my very first cake and my family loved it

Wow such a likeable person, I can almost see the rainbows and unicorns around. Must be a very happy human being in general.

Thank you so much for the tips to make a buttercream that seems just right for piping flowers. Will try it soon.

You're really nice and sweet I like the way he smiles and laughs I caught myself smiling as well it's really nice to watch

Just made this. WONDERFUL! Thank you 🧡

I did this exact recipe and the texture and hold was so good, its just the sweetness of it that I couldn't like

Aren’t you just a huge cup of sweeetness with allllllllllllllot of cuteness frosting 🧁!!!!!!!!

I can’t believe I just made buttercream. Oh my gosh. It’s so delicious!!!!!! I feel fancy haha

The squeaky sound in the fast forward section at 6:10 gave me goosebumps :D Thank you so much for this video, lots of love from Germany

Love your videos you’ve taught me how to make some great desserts that all my family can enjoy

YES! Ok, I finally made something from a KZfaq video. The icing is wonderful, super silky yet still fluffy. The only thing I did different was add about half as much vanilla (I didn't have a great kind and I don't really like the taste of vanilla). I made it as per the recipe besides that. It's delicious, especially after it's sat for a few hours, and I'd definitely use it again. ❤️

"You can click up here" 2x ... Cracked me up haha

I really enjoy you and trying your recipes. You make them beginner friendly.Thank you so much!!

This guy is such a delight to watch, and he had me laughing during the rainbow colored stripes. How perfectly human. Loved his presentation.

John, I made the icing this evening and it turned out great...! I added Hersheys Gold bar as my flavor and it was AMAZING. Thanks so much for sharing...!

I haven't slept all day and now I'm deciding on making a cake 😳🤙

You're the best to learn from & you have the best tips, info & suggestions!!

Excellent recipe. Turns out perfectly every time (I use buttermilk instead of cream). And this guy is just soooooo easy to watch 😉🌈😉

I just subscribed and you have nice videos, you give very great instructions and details.

I think, you're the only baker I trust to use my ingredients on haha

I just made this recipe and it’s amazing!

Omg this was so delicious I made it and came out great. Thanks for your help!

Did he dab the vanilla onto his neck.... Toooooo adorable

Babushka for the mixer. Love it! Savory Spice Shop sells amazing vanilla.

I just made this recipe and omg it’s good. It’s creamy and silky. I am never going back to store bought frosting. If it means taking a few minutes to make good frosting then I am fine with that.

Absolutely Amazing Thanks chef,much blessing

This is like my buttercream. I highly recommend this...yum!

I just found your youtube and just had to comment i love your personality 😂❤️

I learn so many things about baking and at the same time I was entertained.👍

I always have to stop and watch your videos. You hone in on details about your baking AND you provide a bit of comedy on the mishaps that happen while baking - funny! You are more down-to-earth, which makes you and your show so likeable. Thank you. Keep it up.

Cows have been grazing, eating the grass, living their happy lives...you don't want that butter! Lol 😂😂😂🤣

When you don’t have a stand mixer. My hand: Oh come on man!

Love your funny mannerism and the food looks real, not fakey...thanks so much for the tips and recipes, i will try one day I hope!

Everything you make is perfect! Thank you for all your help! ❤️😍👌🏼

“Use a high quality vanilla” Me with my 1$ vanilla: that will work! 😀

I have never commented before, just would like for you to know I watch every video you make and enjoy them so much. I like the comedy that you add in, and to see your little boo boos makes me feel so much better because I so make a mess when baking, yep the powdered sugar clouds. LOL Keep up the great videos 😊😊

You explain things so well .

I made this yesterday.......it was AMAZING!!!!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

You really inspired me 😭😍😍😍
