- How to Make Italian Buttercream
Full Recipe: preppykitchen.com/how-to-make...
Of all the buttercreams in the world Italian meringue buttercream might just be my favorite! It’s light, silky, not too sweet and it pipes beautifully!! It needlessly intimidates way too many home bakers so I’m here to help and provide that little bit of encouragement and know how to help you make this amazing frosting! - Jak na to + styl
Thank you so much. My icing game is weak. And I had no clue where cream of tartar came from.
you can use vinegar if you dont have cream of tartar
@@PreppyKitchen Thank you so much for this video it is amazing - I have a question, what is the best buttercream to use under fondant icing
@@Negradulce39 Hi, the chocolat ganache is more better, specialy if it's dry after. Enjoy 😉
@@LYXsevilla Thank you so much for this idea.
@@ChoubikLoubik thank you Choubik I must try it. Thanks again
I love how he’s literally the only baker on CZcams that I’ve seen that consistently washes his hands and has a clean organized kitchen. I literally subscribed for this 😂
It's impossible not watch the hands whether somebody is seeing or not. If you dont wash the hands it messes up every thing you touch. I spend a lot water when I cook. Very overhead cost on cupcakes sale.
yes, clean clean clean here
@@carolecook1116 Yep, whenever I cook. My water bill gets double.
Deloris Pruitte Lol I was literally just telling my friend how dirty he makes me feel because he’s so clean and organized lmao 🤣 I wish I could be that organized!!
The most important thing is that you wash your hands before opening ALL the eggs in one container, than wash again before to pull out just the yolks. Lets don't forget where the eggs comes from. If you let the egg white fall, getting in contact with the shell just like he did, is just as bad as you don't wash your hands. Don't get me wrong, he is REALLY good, but some times people don't pay attention to little details that in some case will make you sick.
There isn't one second where he's not smiling I love this
He has the most perfect teeth
Not really loving it over here. I found myself mimicking his smile, like a parent mimics a baby being fed from a spoon. Now my cheeks seriously hurt. It was a nicely done video, though.
Seven 🤣😂🤣
It seams, he is being a lovely person, who love that, what he is doing! Great video, thanks!
He's not smiling 😂😂😂 it's just that when he talks his teeth are a bit big and you notice them more duhhhhhhh .
I used to be a chef in fine dining for 10ish years, and one of the thoughts that often entered my head during a 16 hour shift was "imagine how much worse this would have been in 19th century France".
Imagine having to make this entire recipe without electricity...every day.
They had to have been ripped af
@@a.a.6318 - PRECISELY!
Kids these days would say the same thing to our generation. Imagine having to do your research without Google/Internet connection.
But one armed buff because it's hard to whip with your non dominant hand
@@WAHOME. I try to use both for just that reason. It feels sooo awkward but in time it got better!
i love how he explains everything especially what can potentially cause panic to new bakers! gotta admit thats very helpful especially for newbies 💜💜💜
I have just come to say same thing..
That was a major flex when he flipped that spatula over and piped on the other side
My deepest respect to you
You born to be a teacher
He is actually a former teacher turned baker.
He looks a lot like my chemistry teacher in high school lol
He’s a former builder, come butcher, come, Barber, come librarian.. come teacher. Then.. come youtuber, come baker, and finally back to teacher come youtuber.
The feeling of accomplishing this after years of trying is amazing and I feel like I'm on the top of the world 😂. I am using this for my pumpkin cake this year with a whipped cream cheese frosting in the middle. I'M SO EXCITED Y'ALL DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND 🤣🤣 YAY ME 🥰
I just made it today, it was my first time ever to do a buttercream yet it turned out amazing. Everyone was praising it, thank you 🙏🏻
I like how you show the meringue in All of its different stages of "Becoming" - very helpful!
I have made this TWICE now and I cannot stress enough when I say- THIS IS PERFECT! Omg it was a hit at the birthdays and I just followed you step by step with the video and it doesnt give it justice when you say "look how silky and amazing this is" because in person, it really is!!! Thank you :)
Hey I want to make this for a birthday party I have a question.Is it buttery like American buttercream or it is less buttery ?
@@shanelysuede1004 I will be honest, I havent had American buttercream. I would say that yes this is a little buttery because it calls for a ton of butter... however, its so smoothe and sugar flavored that I never have gotten the response "this is very buttery" more so that its just really yummy! :) and I have since made it way more than 2 times. Ive even mixed in Nutella and wow :)
Do you have to chill before decorating the cake?
@@LovelyKelly645 I would say a little bit. Only because If its hot the butter is soft and makes the consistency liquidy... when you put it in the fridge for a little bit like 5-10 min it hardens up to a better consistency :)
Hi, would you say this recipe would be enough to decorate and ice a two layer 8 inch cake?
I love how he explains every step and what it's suppose to look like. I tend to panic when it doesn't look like the way I want it to be. I will definitely do this, since icing is not my strong suit. Thank you so much
Your Buttercream Recipe is one of the best recipes i ever tried. It came out more than perfect and its so light,fluffy, not too sweet. Its perfect.
Thanks a lot for sharing such beautiful recipes with such beautiful smile ❤️
John, you are my hero!!! Literally, I've seen VERY FEW chefs who will explain what they're doing and why. I'm quite intimidated to try making the Italian Buttercream, because I'm so new at this I know I'll mess it up. But after watching your video, I'm feeling that I'm up to the challenge. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how, at the end of the video, you talk about flavoring the buttercream, and how to do it to to make it seriously easy; but also how you talk about being able to freeze the mixture and how to bring it back to life. OMG....that's EXACTLY what I needed in order to get the courage to make this. So because of you, I'm not as afraid. THANK YOU for answering questions before they're asked, and thank you for knowing how to make your audience excited about doing things and not being intimidated. I love your style, I love smile and I love your passion. I'm a huge fan and will be looking to you to help me start my journey into baking. Hugs & blessings to you!!!
Same thoughts!!!!!!! 💛💛💛
Ok, so I made the Italian Buttercream, and for the first time out....it didn't turn out too bad. However, now that I've done it before, hopefully my next batch will be better. Although, as far as taste goes....it tasted wonderful. So smooth too. Aaaaaand, I froze it, and when thawed, it took just a little mixing and it was good as fresh. John....you're a MASTER at your craft!!!
Exactly he's totally through in his video no questions
“I know I’m being a dork.” Literally me when I’m baking around my non-baking friends or getting excited about baking tools when I’m shopping with friends 😂😂 #bakingaddiction
Preppy Kitchen I have a small private cake store in my town called La Candy Shoppe! Sweetest people ever run it! I went in with my friend once to show her why I love it so much. But she was just like “it’s a store.” While I had a basket full on cookie cutters, cake tips, pans, tools for fondant work! she asked me “girl do you even need those?” I just said “uhh probably one day!” I’m a Pastry Chef what can I say!
@@shanna_lourine OMGosh, you sound just like me! My husband doesn't get my fascination and thrill (ok, and my addiction, lol) to collecting all things related to cake decorating. But since I've been a cake decorator for 40+ years, you'd think I would have enough 'stuff' by now. But nope, as long as they keep coming out with new things, I "have" to have them. So I just tell him it could be worse - I could be a shopping junkie, buying all sorts of things instead of keeping it to cake decorating things. Oh . . . um, do purses count? ;)
Joyce Galloway Parker it’s funny you just commented on this cause yesterday I literally just went out and bought more stuff and on Saturday I bought more cake plates and cupcake/desserts stands 🤣🤣 when I get my own house it needs to have a massive kitchen cause right now my “guest” bedroom is my tubs of cake decorating stuff with no bed actually in the room haha
@@shanna_lourine So true! I am a baking perfectionist! I can't handle not having every single cake decorating tool, without trying to make a cake with the things I just have 'on hand'. I basically just went all out this week to buying a bunch of new tools and equipment, so I can work on perfecting my cake decorating skills! Of course, I'm used to making buttercream frostings, since Italian meringues and fondant doesn't do well for me. I like how I can easily use what knowledge I have to still make others happy with my creations. So yea, I blew up Amazon trying to buy 'the good stuff.' I can't help! xD When I get my own place, I want a huge kitchen, so I can place all this stuff I'm buying in it. Seriously, it could literally be a cake shop. Lol!
You sound like my sister when we enter a cake/bake shop. She lights up like a Christmas tree.
I don’t know what I love more. - your calming instructions, your smile, or your MATCHING copper bakeware/cookware ❤️ 💗 💕 ❤️
I’m here three years later to say that your teaching method and explanations have helped me successfully make this buttercream. I’ve tried several times and each time it came out terrible.
I love this buttercream!
My favorite bakery uses this on their cupcakes and I wanted to master it so I could have it anytime. I’m feeling under the weather, can’t go anywhere, so what do I do? Bake! I nailed your vanilla cupcakes and this frosting too! When I finished the frosting and realized it was done, and successful to boot, I went to my husband in shock and told him that I nailed it🤣
Best line: *"Remember: It's all gonna be okay."*
Fr 😌
You sir! Are AMAZING! I made this buttercream and ohhhhhhh! You are a wonderful teacher, love your character and demeanour - humble sweet and talented. You deserve SO many more subscribers. Your smile is priceless and I’m so glad you’re sharing your talents with us! Bravo 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼
I just love how passionate he is about all his cooking😍 I'm gonna try this recipe pretty soon, watched this for the third or fourth time just to remind myself of the ingredients and things😊
John, I made this buttercream twice, both for my younger sisters' birthdays, and each time it turns out just perfect! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us! 💜😊
You know what makes this so great? The fact that he is in love with the frosting.
When I was a kid, my parents got all the birthday cakes from an Italian bakery near my house. So this is what I grew up thinking as "frosting". That gloppy tooth-killing sweet gunk that passes for frosting was always nasty to me, because I was used to this lovely, smooth frosting that didn't overwhelm the CAKE.
I think American buttercream can be good with a VERY restrained hand. A nice 1/4" layer goes a long way when there's that high a fat/sugar ratio involved!
Serai3 t
Plus the Crisco or lard or whatever they use (in American bakeries) kinda sticks to your teeth and coats your tongue & the roof of your mouth...so gross...gimme butter butter butter all the way!!!
I'm the opposite. I grew up eating American buttercream, which I looooooooove, and so all these merainges put my tastebuds to sleep, and even frustrate them.
Omg 😂 😱 thank you so muchhh I hateeeeer I compleatly loatheeeeeee butter cream it hurts my teeth so i always use regular frosting (thin layer) or whipped cream for any cake I make and now I want to try this!!! I'm getting my new kitchen aid mixer this week yaaayy!!!
Thank you for putting the celsius, ml and grams in there too! :) I hate it when it's a good recipe and I have to calculate everything before I start baking.
The best and only frosting recipe you need. Super easy to make and freezes well too! You can omit adding the butter for those that are allergic to dairy. You can add melted chocolate to kick it up a notch for an awesome chocolate frosting. This guy is the best!
Your years of teaching math have really paid off on your channel. You are very thorough. I am learning so much! Thanks
He was a math teacher?
Lol!Always think of that🤣😄
Calmest, classiest, most encouraging food channel!!
Right? My daughters love to watch Gordon Ramsey. He makes me want to lash out irrationally. Watching John enjoy sharing his creativity makes me want to float away on a cloud of rose water meringue butter cream loveliness. 🥰
After trying several recipes, I tried yours. OMGoodness!!!!! What a wonderful, delicious and delightful Italian meringue buttercream. This buttercream frosting did not even get soupy. This will take me to a whole different level of decorating. Thank you so much.
You can’t over whip this really
Me:I bet I’ll find a way to overwhip it
Me too 🙋♀️ egg white are my enemy
I did it this way and it become almost chewing gum.
Hard to clean all my stuff.
What did i do wrong????
@@geko8132 you mean your egg whites?
I did it to mine 😭😭 tried it twice yesterday, gonna try again today
I really love his videos, so calm, so happy, so clean, everything he does is like an invitation to do it yourself because it seem so easy. Love him!
Brand new subscriber here. Man, I LOVE this guy! These videos simply could not be better. Amazing personality, amazing delivery... I never feel irritated watching him, LOL. Seriously, he's like the Mr. Rogers of cake. (I LOVE Mr. Rogers!!)
Absolutely!
Me too! Love your videos I’m a little obsessed now! Your cakes are gorgeous...just bought all the ingredients for the orchid cake. Am very good at buttercream flowers but haven’t tried orchids! Thank you Mr. Rogers of Cake👍
forcommenting omg he is absolutely a hot baker Mr. Rogers
I feel the same
Actually I feel like I should watch his vids if I am angry. So calming
Made this recipe for the second time today and it came out awesome. I have never made anything you have shared and been disappointed everything is always spot on.
I made this Buttercream yesterday. And I am making it today again. It is by far the best recipe I have found. Just the perfect amount of sweetness and soooo silky smooth!
After watching this video several times, I finally gave this a try today and it turned out perfectly. I loved the flavor, the texture, and the consistency. Thank you!
I just tried this for my first time ever and WOW ! I actually did it. I completely love it. Thank you so much for all your detail !
Love all of your videos! Very detailed! I just started baking since February, thank you for sharing so many recipes and baking tips!
Your optimism is infectious. I actually LOVE Baking now ❤
John I cannot thank you enough! I made Italian Buttercream for the first time today thanks to you and your great video. It turned out PERFECT! And delicious! Yay!!!
Oh my goodness, thank you! I have tried tons of different meringue buttercream recipes and they always turn out weird. This one is simply amazing.
I have watched this video so many times before making the icing. Made it yesterday and I am in LOVE with this recipe! Thank you for your step by step instructions.
I just made this for a raspberry cake and it came out delicious! Nice and creamy and not overly sweet. It was also very easy. Came out great thanks for all the tips :)
That water test was EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you!!
You have such a mellow happy soft way of explaining things I am just addicted to listening to your explanations. Really is the best.
I tried this receipe yesterday. First time in my life trying a meringue butter cream. Am sooo happy it came out perfect. Thank you chef🙏
I tried it on my baby’s cake and I loved it! It taste really good! This is now my favorite buttercream!🥰 Thank you!
Thanks for showing all the stages. It really rescues one from thinking they messed up the formula. Great demonstration.
I made this today, and it turned out really great!! The meringue without the butter is also amazing!
How u do it without butter ?
@@safaejibrane7173 it's called boiled icing. that's without butter. you boil the sugar with water while beating eggwhites with cream of tartar. When the sugar-water mixture comes to a boil pour it on the egg whites slowly while beating at high speed.
I can't thank you enough for this recipe/tutorial! I've received thumbs up for multiple cakes all frosted and decorated with this delicious Italian Buttercream!!!
"It's all gonna be okay!" I am in love with your videos!
If I could just use your voice for when you say “it’s going to be okay”
... every time I have a melt down while baking, I’d be just fine! Your great.
Nice video, bt i dont av a mixer with a whip, though i av a mixer bt no with a whip, so can use d one i av?
@@rafiatakingbehin6547 it's recommended to have a stand mixer because you need to pour scalding hot sugar syrup into egg whites that are being beaten simultaneously... which is dangerous if not impossible with a hand held mixer...
If you mean you have a stand mixer but only the paddle attachment, then I'm not sure if the single paddle could create the required volume in the egg whites...
If you only have a hand mixer with beater attachment, Swiss Meringue buttercream is very similar and MUCH easier! (Sugar is disolved in egg whites over double boiler then whipped/beaten to meringue, then beat in butter slowly) - beaters might take just a little longer?

So I’ve never made Frosting before and this was so easy to do! My Fiancé who doesn’t like frosting loved it!
Will it be enough for an 8 inch cake
Did you use any particular
butter? I tried this recipe, but after adding butter and mixing 30 min it looked really bad, was yellow, and it melted immediatelly coz of the heat of the hand while piping 😞
This is the BEST FROSTING EVER!!! Just got done making it and it is DIVINE! Where has this been all my life?? I’ve been decorating cakes wrong.
This recipe is amazing! Not only not too sweet, but very stable...I used it to decorate a birthday, which had to sit out on a table in the shade for several hours, it was 30 C and did not melt or weep . Guests raved about how delicious it was too.
Excuse me, how much butter did you add to the cream?
I have been decorating cakes all my life - never knew this recipe. I tried it. OMG! I will NEVER use anything else - ever! It is soooo good and actually quite easy. So versatile and great for decorating! I love that I can freeze it and it will be just as good as fresh made! Delicious! And the compliments are enough to make me blush! Everyone loves it! Thank you very much for your wonderful video. May you have continued success in your life. 🌹
I made this buttercream and it came out perfect. Thank you so much.
This was awesome and super thorough (and cute sweet at the end)! Have been binging baking shows during this quarantine and wanted to learn Italian butter cream, it’s EXACTLY what I needed to learn! Grazie!
You’re so good at explaining things, I made this for the first time and it came out amazing! Thank you 😋
tried it and it's now my go-to buttercream to decorate cakes. Thanks!
btw, loving your copper-colored utensils
Heyyy, is it very sweet?:/
Love the rose golds and amazing recipe!
I also fall in love with this amazing flavor. Thank you for sharing ypur knowlegde and experience
Love your videos and recipes. I’m 73 and have been baking for about 50 years. I used to be messy with my piping bags until I learned how to do better. I use a tall plastic “glass” that can fit 1/2 of my bag and fold down the other half. Never had a messy bag after I started doing this.
Just found you...am an experienced baker and I’m thrilled with your videos THANK YOU💕
He's giving off Clark Kent vibes. He's like the superman of baking!🎂💙
To me he looks a lot like chuck from supernatural.
@@mariahashmi1453 You mean "god"?
That was the sassiest buttercream piping ever! So smooth, structured and shinny! 🤩 Will definitely try this recipe this weekend.
I've learned a lot , in buttercream frosting, swiss mirungue buttercream, in Italian buttercream , tips and additional knowledge. Thank you so much ❣
Dr. Seuss meringue peaks... gotta be the most unique description I've heard of meringue peaks.
and so accurate!
If your buttercream starts to separate, take a spoonful of it and pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir it back in after its cooled down a bit. He didnt mention this in the video, so I almost freaked out when it started to separate. However, once I did this the buttercream fixed itself. Also: when he says its silky, he means its SILKY. No frosting of mine has ever been this good
Same! Took a deep breath and just let it run
So are you saying it’s meant to have the texture of beaten butter?
I made this recipe today. It's my new favorite now! I have made several of your recipes and love every one of them! Thank you! You are wonderful ❤
I’ve just made this and I can tell you, the result came out GREAT. I didn’t expect to get this result ‘cause it was my first time doing something like this. But I have to say that it’s very buttery and rich, so I don’t know if you want to put a lot of this on your cupcake.
I really want to thank you for this recipe!😋
You are so sweet!! Thanks for sharing this with us!! Love all your videos! I'm triying to sell cakes and cookies decorated, but it's really dificult, and you give me happiness when i fell down because it's hard for me to have followers and customers but your smile and your kindness gives me hope to keep going!! Thanks a lot!! I will use your techniques in my Petronila Sweet Boutique!
Kisses from Argentina!!!
This is the meringue that my mother always make since I was a child. She is so good at it that she doesn’t even use a thermometer. She just see the pot and knows it is time.
This is my go to recipe! My absolute favourite type of buttercream. I'm making a chocolate orange flavoured batch today for Christmas! Thanks John
This was so helpful! I definitely would have been freaking out while adding the butter if not for you. Best icing EVER! Unbelievably delicious.
Me: I’m making Italian buttercream frosting
My husband: cool! Are we having cupcakes?
Me: No. it’s for my coffee
Alex Torres hahaha
Omg
YES
Haha
Haahhahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣
Just finished making this with my kids on Christmas Day as a filling for our chocolate cake, its soooooo good Happy Christmas Mr.
Thank you so much for showing the stages of what it looks like so we know we aren’t ruining our buttercream!
Love the calming & detailed way you explained it step by step as you are showing us. The extra info about variations & storage is a first for a novice like me..I tried your pastry cream from your eclair video and it's absolutely heavenly...
. Love your videos !!!
Thank you so much for this delicious recipe I make it for my daughter birthday and she loved now I doing again but this time I doubled the ingredients for a 10' 🎂 .
You are me go too and have spread your videos many times with many people! Love you! Happy spring.
Appreciate the tiny details you share that makes lot of difference in baking.
I love how passionate you get :) and thank you for slurping up that dollop of buttercream at the end :D
Yum! Once the chocolate was being added I was drooling. Looks amazing! Great video, thank you.
Love this guy! Great attitude, fun presentation and obviously very professional. I haven't done much baking in my life but this has stirred a strong interest in doing it like the pros. Thank you Preppy Kitchen!!!
I appreciate how clean you are and how much you smile 😃😊
Omg you have explained it so well preppy... Even before a question came to my mind you have answered it... ,,Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe n also the tricks ,😍
John has some major Disney Princess energy going on & I'm here for it! ♥️
I tried this today and am amazed how this turned out! Thank you so much @Preppy Kitchen for sharing this recepie 🧡🧡🧡
Wow! What an amazing transformation from 3 sticks of butter to 4! Thank you John for always including those places in your recipe where we might think something has gone wrong. I can’t wait to try this frosting!!!
I don't know the measurement. Can you please explain how much in GM of 4 stick butter?
Omg I'm going to try this as soon my exams end😍 I also got the thermometer I ordered. Currently saving for an electric oven and a stand mixer. Can't wait to start my own baking business!
You need your own baking show! The cooking channel is missing out on you!
Love how neat his station is! And the calmness... I don't bake, but I love watching his videos ❤️
John I love your videos! I’ve made this butter cream and the French buttercream recipes. Both are now my go to recipes for frosting cakes and macaroons! Thank you and keep up the good work.
"I am the *messiest* bag filler ever"
Are you challenging me?
Lol
Thought the same thing
Me: "Good evening."
The weirdest thing right when I was reading your comment he said it omg😂
Omg I just made this! Sooo good. I’m pairing it with a vanilla cake and a fruit reduction filler. Cannot wait to try it!
This is THE BEST Italian buttercream tutorial there is. I have watched them all.
i like the way you talk letting people understand what is to do.
"its gonna be ok" - dont panic. very convincing.
I made this for our daughters wedding cake and it was perfect 🥰❤️
Is there a flavor of butter ?
"Can you add less butter in? Nope!" hahahahah best part. Love your videos. :)
Yes, that was my favorite part too 😂
Omgosh it’s soo true we saw it come together after the 4th butter bar.
Very Julia Child
I want to thank you for the great video! I made this for a wedding cake bright loved it and I love the smooth texture. You’re easy to follow instructions made it so easy and effortless. And thank you!
U are a good teacher, thanks for understanding that not all ppl loves shocking sweet cakes.
