Thanks for sharing this video. If it wasn’t for the grainy texture and overly sweet taste of ABC, it’s an easy buttercream to make. I came across a couple of you tubers who make no grit ABC boiling the powder sugar in water. You should try it, it’s actually good😊

Just admit it, you did this for me 😂😂🤣

Wow, Ashley, your channel has grown SO much since I tuned in last, a few months ago! I knew you would blow up, your videos are spectacular! I saw the video where Satin Ice sent you a package and you used the modeling chocolate to make the fish cake. I ended up going to Michael's and buying 3 containers of the Satin Ice modeling chocolate! Unfortunately, they only had bright white and not ivory but I'm glad they had what they did, 'cause I bought them all. I plan to use it like you did, but on a star wars theme cake! Wish me luck! And I'm so proud of you and your channel, CONGRATS!👏🙌🎉🥰🤍

I really like how you explain things. Good stuff!

Thanks for the colouring tip. Really helped me a lot.

Excellent tips. I prefer meringue based buttercreams because they don't feel so heavy or sweet. But summers here are extremely hot, so make American with half butter/shortening then... or if I'm just "whipping up" a quick cake. Our butters are very yellow, so only last week I tried adding the purple. Will add with toothpick next time 🤣 Thanks for sharing. Always a joy to watch 🤩

My favorite buttercream 😊

This was great! When I make non-vegan buttercream, I also agree that butter is a better taste! However I make a lot of vegan buttercream and I find half vegan butter and half shortening does the trick. Vegan butter is more oily I find than regular butter. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yay!! I’m so happy you made this video since just yesterday I saw the other comparison video and I could definitely tell the American bc could’ve been way better

I'm so happy you did this, because I can't find meringue powder or pasteurized eggs where I am, so American Buttercream is what I use. Also, my family likes the taste more.

Love your videos. I learn something every time I see them. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and techniques to make this great butter cream receipe.🌿🌹🌿

Greetings from Maine! Great video Ashley. You've redeemed our beloved ABC, lol! Like anything, it's a matter of preference, and all have their pros and cons. I shared my recipe with you in the last video, so now I'll try yours. I've never made it with water, only cream, but I'm going to give it a try. Keep up the great work. I've genuinely looked forward to your videos. :)

Great video, thank you. Always love your advice!!

It was worth it watching you. Thankyou for this video

WOW! OMG! so beautiful cakes decoration 😍 i hope i can practice your technique of decoration some cakes in my own kitchen😍😍

I really appreciate your work 😘

Thank you for this amazing recipe

That was awesome....

Yes to American Buttercream💜💜. Out of interest have you ever made Russian buttercream (condensed milk based)?

Thank you for sharing

Omg I was wating for this video right since you started saying that you’re going to make this video soon. Thanks a ton ❤️❤️

HEYYY THIS IS AMAZING!

Do you think decorated and loaded brownie/blondie slabs are the next big thing in baking?

Love this video thank you so much I did have 1 question how do I get real red icing what would you suggest please

How many cupcakes will this recipe do?

Is this possible with a hand mixer?

Thank you for the video very helpful. But with your recipe do I have to put that much sugar or can I put less cause that’s a lot of sugar lol

Idk if I did it wrong but mine just tastes like pure butter 😭 idk how to make it taste better

Another question, perhaps obvious... If I don't love the grainyness of the American Buttercream what would you use to balance it out? I don't do fondant, I was thinking of using candy and whipped cream decorations for the different textures, but maybe there is something better?

Hi! I do cakes too. I use the American Buttercream but mine has high fat shortening in it due to living in high humidity.

Can margarine be used if there is dairy allergy?

Great video ! So you don’t add any flavouring like vanilla? Does this buttercream crust, and if so is that what you mean by grainy? Sorry so many questions.

Do you have a recipe for Italian buttercream.

what's the cake size can be covered this buttercream

Heyy, thanks for this one!! Also - just a question- (i live in India,and we don't find super finely powdered sugar here,tried making it at home too but) whenever i make buttercream-it turns out grainy, any tips?

How much vanilla do you add?

If you whip the butter for about 15min before adding the sugar it gets lighter in color and eventually becomes white. No food coloring needed😊

Any recommendations for high humidity area?

Can you use pasteurized egg whites for meringue buttercream as an alternative for boiling the egg whites?

Whenever I make buttercream I end up with a very buttery flavour to my Buttercream or it is too sweet for my taste buds. Can you help me with how to remove the buttery flavour of the buttercream

Can I use margarine to make this?

What brand of foodcolour is that?

Was the water in room temperature or cold water?

Whenever I make buttercream with room temperature butter the butter starts to melt .....I can't figure out why tht happens Also I live in a hot country could it be because of tht

How much buttercream does it make ?

Where do you buy that icing sugar

How can I make buttercream be not too sweet?

Hiiiiii

Madam, this video is what you are supposed to be doing. Let me explain... Your oratoracle ability is top-notch, which is spiritual. Out of a 1 to 10, you rate at a 7.933; myself, I'm lower, even with the anointing I have, I'm not as good as you. You're a designated baker, too, which is why you are walking in the steps God [Jehovah] has ordered for you when you were conceived. You have two spiritual gifts of the nine listed in the Holy Bible: Discerning of spirits & the gift of wisdom.
