Hi Friends! I freshened up one of my favorite recipes with a new video to bring you some more tips and tricks for making a perfect batch of this buttercream at home. Happy Baking!

I love how you are so detailed in your explanations on how it should be done!

You're really the only baking how-to person that I follow to get my pasty and cremes and cakes, etc just right. Love your friendly attitude too, that helps a LOT.

You, my friend, are a real blessing! So much talent and passion. Bless you and your beautiful family.

This is a great recipe, I used it for a birthday cake for a party outside yesterday and it was stable in 80 degree heat and even some direct sunshine! Definitely recommend this for its stability and it tastes delicious. Thanks for the recipe John ❤

John, I love the way you teach us in detail how to do each recipe. There is no questions. Your complete explenation of each part of your recipe is so easy to make sure everything is just right. Thank you so much...

I've been watching your videos and learning so much from you! I made this on my first try, right along with the swiss and French meringues. I just wanted to say thank you! Thank you for your time, help, and sharing of your knowledge with us all.

Perfect timing! I’m getting ready to make a raspberry Italian buttercream for a joconde layer cake! Love all of your videos/personality!

I am on my way to trying all of your recipes! So far I have yet to mess them up, you make cooking, baking, frosting so easy. I'm preordering your book!

Thank you so much for the recipe. I've tried it for the first time and it came out perfect. It is my new favorite buttercream and I'll be using it from now on.

My mother made this without using her stand mixer (I have it now...I'm 75 yrs old). It seemed she stood at the stove for hours. She made many delicious frostings on the stove. It was fun reminiscing watching your video. BTW...her mixer still works although I use my kitchen Aid

I'm currently studying to be a pastry chef and I love the way you teach in your videos I can't wait to make this!

I absolutely love watching John. I was searching for a different frosting & just happened to watch this video. I made it the first time & came out awesome. He has inspired me to want to learn more about making & decorating cakes, cookies etc. John you are so talented, funny & a great teacher.

Thank you so much John you give me courage to bake in the South African heat we experiencing at the moment👍❤️...I just love your videos👍

This was a complete artwork to watch, loved it!

I made your Italian and French and they turned out AMAZING! U make it seem so simple and less intimidating so i tried and succeeded. Thank You!!!

Oh, wow!!! This looks amazing!! 😊 I have never made nor tasted an Italian buttercream frosting. I loved your thorough and easy to understand instructions. I can't wait to try it next week to frost cupcakes! Ithank you!!

You are awesome!!! So detailed and fun to follow. I love all of your recipes thus far. What a joy to share your enthusiasm and charisma! Thanks a million for being there and sharing alll of those amazing recipes. God bless.😊

Thank you for explaining everything so wonderfully , understandable and happy 😃 Love your channel !

Thank You for the recipe and techniques ❤️

I love his videos!!! He really hits all the questions

I have been trying to make this for over a year now with the same sad results. I have been having to stay off my feet for medical reasons, and, by chance, I was watching the recipe instructions again. This time, I made a game plan based on your instructions, and followed them to the letter! It worked!!! I don't believe it. I also tried your pancake recipe, and that was also a great success! 👍

This video was immensely detailed and incredibly helpful. Thank you!!!

Great instructions, always encouraging, you are always my go to for basics like this. Thank you

Thank you so much I use this video so often, keep up the great work!

Love this guy - particularly his diction. I come from an RP speaking family - so US accents can grate - but could listen to this guy for hours. A joy.

I love all your videos - you have some really great tips! Thank you. Happy Holidays!

Preppy kitchen can I just appreciate you videos are doing great and keep up the effort that you put in to upload and yesss another Preppy kitchen video

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I made this icing... .and although I was nervous when I saw it churning, I screamed out of delight when it started getting to the right spreadable consistency. Yay!!! You're awesome!!!

Beautiful frosting I love it! 💓 Thank you for all your tips. They’re very helpful! 💌✍️ Ciao 👋🏻

I just love this channel… the way everything is explained I tried so many of your recipes and is weird they always work I’m doing this frosting today … 🎉 for my daughter’s cake 🎂

I loved this recipe very easy ! Already made today for a birthday cake ❤thank you !

I love your kitchen 🥰 Thank you for your wonderful recipe John 💌 ciao 👋🏻

You are so good to explain everything, good teaching. Thank you 😊

Hello from Thailand🇹🇭 I love all your recipes❤❤ omg this butter cream turned out perfectly!! And the taste was so delicious not sweet! This was my first time making butter cream. When I first put half of butter, it seemed melted and not smooth at all just like having small little pieces of butter all in a bowl so I put it in the fridge (as you said in video) took it out then kept putting butter in and whisking it for a while… it really was smooth. 2 cups of butter idk how many grams so I put 400grams it was perfect! ❤

I did half of this recipe to decorate my birthday cake ( I only needed it for the details) and let me tell you, it is DELICIOUS. 🥰🥰 It has a slight buttery taste in the very end and a tinge of sweetness as well but it is not at all overwhelming and it goes great with any other flavors you might have. It is an amazing recipe and with all of the directions it was very simple to follow. Thank you so so much💞💞💞

I wish I could just taste test & eat all that you make right there as it looks fabulous! Thanks for the videos

This will be the next buttercream I try! Thank you! :)

I love your videos so much. my brother and his wife are having a gender reveal party and I am in charge of making the cake. I am using your vanilla cake recipe and Italian buttercream recipe for their cake and cant wait to get started. I have already done your lemon tart recipe twice now and that came out so delicious. So basically thank you. 😄

From I saw your Swiss meringue butter cream I have been making that for every cake I make the best butter cream ever

Delicous I really do love this recipe so good! Thanks a bunch John I'm definitely using this on my cupcakes!

Love love love this ! Thank you! 😋

Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing this amazing recipe

Just made it, perfect, silky, and smooth.

Although my second experience in making this recipe was unfortunately the first experience I succeed, thank you very much. It was very delicious and smooth. I’m going to try again for the third time. Wish me luck.

I’m glad you said we can use a hand mixer😂 I’m 16 and when i bake brownies cookies and cakes, I hand mix everything on my own (not hand mixer I mix everything with a spatula by hand)

Thanks so much for the updated recipe. Can't wait to try this out. Xoxo love from Trinidad.

I recently conquered how to make Italian Macarons . So I thought I give Italian Meringue buttercream ago. Thank you for sharing your delicious recipe. I had great success. Looking forward trying some of your other recipes. :)

Made this wonderful,,, came out great love it,,, my new go to icing. love it

I made this today, and it's probably the best buttercream I've made in my life. Everything just somehow magically worked out! It didn't curdle, it didn't go soupy, the egg whites whipped to soft peaks within literal seconds... sometimes stuff just goes your way I suppose haha Thank you for this recipe! My birthday cake (which is your lemon cake recipe) is going to be bomb!

I made your Whoopie Pie with the Swiss buttercream they were so amazing then the Chantilly Cake also amazing now this. I’m a cook not a backer I always say I’m an artist and a backer is a scientist after watching you I find myself measuring and weighting out stuff never done that before so I have a new understanding of art and food your an amazing artist I can see your love of food. I also have that love affair it’s super fun to discover I like making a cake from scratch as well I guess maybe you inspired me. Thanks

Dogs love the yolks mixed with a little water for a treat! Makes their coat so shiny

Hi John, I LOVE watching your videos. Your sparkling Virgo personality is well suited to teaching cooking . BUT,,i had just started the Keto diet protocol when I discovered your channel. My Keto journey was very successful and I quickly lost the weight I needed to. There are a lot of Keto cooking videos online, but Id really like to see you do some main dish recipes adapted for Keto. Maybe some baking too. Love you either way !

I love ❤ Italian butter 🧈 cream. It looks so delicious 😋.

Italian meringue frosting is my absolute favourite. It's my son's 5 birthday this Friday so I'll be making him a 🌈 birthday cake.Can't wait to eat it again. Thank you for the lovely recipe.

Thank you so much Chef Preppy you help me for my first ever IMB using in my 4 tier cake just today and I meade marble cake using your recipe and follow your instructions it was so great God bless Chef thank you ❤😇🙏🏻

It’s look stable and delicious., with chocolate it’s better. Thank you for sharing with us. Congratulations, my regards from Los Angeles, Ca.

Your Italian merengue buttercream is the only frosting my family will eat. Too bad I suck at baking actual cake.

I love what you're doing I wish learn so many things from you I love to bake baking is my favorite

Excellent Buttercream journey all the pertinent info . Excellent

Always good John thank you

Yummy Yummy!!🤤😋thanks Chef 👍

Amo. ❤. Muito obrigada ❣

♥️♥️♥️♥️can’t wait to try ✨

You are one of the only people to say drizzle straight into the beater- most say run it in to the side of the bowl. Good tip so thank you.

Thank you so much for this recipe! I am always a bit scared to make this. But I will give it a go!! Blessings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 ❤️

I love this one too ❤

I can vouch for reviving frozen meringue buttercream in a microwave. Done it many times and it always works. You can also use a double boiler for better control. Cut the frozen buttercream into small chunks, add to a microwave proof bowl, and heat at half power in 15 second bursts (lightly moving the chunks about between each burst). Keep heating until the chunks are soft and a bit melted. You just want it warm enough to whip (do not try whipping non-room temperature buttercream). After a quick whisk, the consistency will come back like new. If you overmelted, you can save it: immediately toss in some more frozen buttercream pieces to bring the temperature down, then whip. If you don’t have any, reserve your ‘ruined’ buttercream and make a new batch. At the end, add them together and whip. You will have double the buttercream, but you can freeze what you don’t use. These tips came from a Natalie Paull, a successful baker and business owner.

I'm drooling!!!! Yummmmmmmm🤤😋

Also made those lemon cupcakes and they are the best! Lemon love!

Thank you for sharing!! ❤❤❤

I’m going to be using this recipe for my daughters 1st birthday smash cake as it contains way less sugar than store-bought or American buttercream. Hopefully it comes out well! 🥰

Thanks man!My sister's gonna make this for me

Hahaha you always post recipes right after I struggle to make it 😅 now I can look and see what I did wrong lol

Wow, John. The Italian buttercream looks great! I love trying different buttercream icings! This would be great for a birthday cake. Thanks for the recipe! 😋😋😊

This is quite a process! I've always been afraid to try this but you made it so doable. I'd love to make it. Maybe now I will! Thanks, John!

Tysm for sharing all ur baking!

I literally just used your other video recipe yesterday!!!

🍷 So fresh… love the videos

I LOVE your videos!! I was wondering if you could maybe do a video on how to make peanut butter buttercream frosting!??

You’re the best!!

I didn't try it yet. But the cheese cake was awesome. My picky 4 year old Loves it.

Thank you so much for making this video. I love IB over American but I feel that the recipe I’m doing just isn’t right, I can’t wait to try this

I loved this video! The buttercream looks sooo good! I was wondering where you get your piping bags from? They looks really nice! 😁😁

it was very nice i love it

Hello, John, you are the very best dessert making teacher & thank you for that ❤️🤗 I love that all your ingredients are by weight & not just by volume! Which brings me to - may I know the weight of egg white used in this recipe. I have a feeling eggs in India are tiny compared to the ones in the US (since I just assume that EVERYTHING is supersized in the US) 😊

I made this tonight and it turned out delicious and wasn't as hard to make as I thought it would be!

I am learning from your channel, I am a bigger on baking cakes thank you sooo much.. By the way I am a Gambian

Going to attempted to make it today, kind of scared but very exciting.

So happy for your tips & tricks as I would be heart broken if my frosting looked like cottage cheese! 😂

Thank you soo much for your wonderful videos that make me happy and have the pleasure to try it a hello from Algeria 🇩🇿🇩🇿

Can't wait to try this! Can I ask how many standard cupcakes this recipe will frost? Thank you!
