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😊

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!👏🙌🎉🥰🤍

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 🤩

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. 🤷🏻♀️

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?
@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe3 жыл бұрын
Hmmm...Whipped cream decor is definitely a yummy and smooth option, but it doesn't keep as well. A viewer was telling me about boiling the sugar with the water to eliminate some of that grainy texture! I had never heard of this, but maybe there's a tutorial on KZfaq somewhere..it seems like this would work :)

@SweetDreamsBakeShoppe2 жыл бұрын
I do add in flavouring as well. It does crust up (all American buttercreams will), but there is a difference between crusting and grainy. The graininess I'm referring to is when you bite into the buttercream it has a slight sandy texture, but it's not unpleasant--not to me at least! Hope that helps :)

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.
