I got some bad batches of sugar, I could feel huge crystals while I was sifting it, so of course it messed up my buttercream. I could feel the crunch of the sugar when I taste-tested. Anyway, I took a cup or 2 of the buttercream and microwaved for about 20 seconds. Then I added it back into the original buttercream. It definitely helped a lot, so thanks for the inspiration!

I made a peanut butter / butter frosting, and it took on a rather elastic property, when I tried to spread it. I have never seen anything like it. I did use a "big box" store brand...not too sure if it was beet sugar or cane...but will remedy what I purchase from now on!! Thank you chef!!

Hello, I am glad I found this video... I am just starting to bake and I am having troubles with my buttercream. It always comes out grainy at the taste with sugar melting on the tongue (texture looking good though). I used to grinded my powder sugar and sift it but nothing to do. I will try this new technique and I will come back with my comment.

Please tell me ASAP that can I microwave the grainy buttercream a bit( rather than on the water) and then whip it .. As I don't have stand to put the bowl over water...

@CookingWithTovia 5 жыл бұрын

Hi, Anna, I would just use a double boiler, it's pretty much the same ting. Place a bowl on top of a pot of boiling water. I wouldn't use the microwave because it's just far to hot in such a short period of time. You could give it a try but I rather use a double boiler just to be on the safe side.

@jenphilip6299 3 жыл бұрын

Hi chef! Actually I just made buttercream and it's full of small sugar chunks so if I use double boiler like you then I don't have any high quality icing sugar left, now what should I do? Please tell ASAP!! Because guest bout to come in 2 hours 😢.......can I add meringue powder to harden up?

Allow the mixture to cool and whip on medium speed for a long period. It should turn back white once air is incorporated. Add a little powder sugar to thicken if it’s not thickening.

If you add cream to normal butter cream does that not mean it needs to be kept in the fridge rather than be okay to be left in box on side?

@CookingWithTovia 4 жыл бұрын

I always keep the entire cake in the fridge because butter is dairy and it could go sour. It’s safe if your room isn’t to hot. I only leave my cakes out in the winter as i normally keep my kitchen cold because I can’t function in a hot one. I hope this helps and thank you for stopping by.

Hey chef, I haven't been able to make nice frosting and couldn't figure out why. The texture is pretty much liquid but still grainy from the sugar. I don't know what went wrong but it seems like the butter wasn't well-incorporated with the sugar (though I had room temp butter and fine powdered sugar, sieved before use). I wonder if I can fix them when that happen again.

No, I only mixed it about 3 minutes and it was a nightmare. I did my research in one of my books and found it it’s the sugar. When I worked at a bakery. We whipped our buttercream for 20 minutes to ensure it’s extremely light and fluffy.

I made this with monkfruit sweetener. And it came out grainy. So I'm going to try heat it a little bit and try mixing it again. But I don't have a fancy whipper like you. I am using a hand held mixer. Wish me luck or send me pointers. @emikwaanikwe
