Whipping frosting on high goes against everything I was tought about making it.I was always told to use a paddle and whip it on low for the least amount of time but I'm willing to give this a try!

We deliver to the community . Just to cheer someone up

Hey Gemma just wanted to let you know me and my aunt when I was 7-8 would watch this for fun and we had so many memories!
Thank you for sharing this here - and for the support all these years.
I just made this frosting on Monday for cupcakes and it turned out beautifully! I really love the fact that it can be adapted to any different flavor, thank you for the recipe ❤️
My family and friends love this! Adding 1 teaspoon almond extract made a yummy icing too!
This is absolutely wonderful! I haven't been able to find coffee extract since I moved 3yrs ago. It is my favorite along side mint chocolate!
1½ cups (340g/12oz) butter, at room temperature
5⅔ cups (680g/1lb 8oz) confectioners' sugar, sifted*
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-3 tablespoons milk or cream
pinch of salt
Add Ins:
Strawberry Frosting:
1/2 cup (21/2oz/75g) fresh or frozen strawberries, pureed and strained
Chocolate Frosting:
1 1/3 cups (51/3oz/160g) cocoa powder
Coffee Frosting:
1 tablespoon instant espresso dissolved in 2 tablespoons of water
Mint Chocolate Chip Frosting:
3 teaspoons mint extract
1/2 cup (3oz/90g) chocolate, finely chopped
1 drop green food coloring (optional)
Peanut butter Frosting:
3/4 cup (6oz/180g) smooth peanut butter
Vanilla Frosting:
2 teaspoons vanilla extract , total for the batch.
Lemon Frosting:
•Zest of 2 lemons
Sheena DC saltes or unsalted butter ?
@@kanikaverma0204 unsalted butter
Sheena DC Which milk are you using?
Fresh milk(cow milk)??
Or powder milk? Which one? Please explain clearly? Pls. If we use milk for buttercream, it will be defective? Without refrigerater..
@@ranoyarano2181 Fresh milk to adjust the consistency of the buttercream. You need to store it properly and refregirate it for it to last for about 2 weeks.
Sheena DC thanx dr. My doubt is, If we use milk into buttercream, then we willnot store the buttercream in refrigerator, Buttercream will be defective or not?
One thing I learned from JJR at Man about Cake: for fruit flavors you can also use freeze-dried fruit powder (I get it from amazon). So far I've tried it with strawberry, raspberry and banana (though I didn't really care for the banana; they seemed too ripe for my taste). It works really well and doesn't mess with the consistency.
Good tip! Thank you :)
I love this frosting idea! 😍 Your recipes are so easy to make and they look epic! 🤗 Great video, Gemma!
Delighted you liked it, thanks so much for watching!
Hi gemma love u n your recipes a lot me n my son are your fans I have learned a lot from u dear,thank you

🙋 Question!! 🙋
So if I get this right you'll need to use vanilla extract in all of them like.. in the "base"? And THEN add the flavour of your choice? 🙂 And if so.. why?
Thank you for explaining it like we're 5 😁 (i defenatily need that)
You're a genius Gemma! My favorite is the fudge frosting! Chocolate all the way!!!

I love when gemma started talking in every video of her. Its so full of enthusiasm and positive vibes.
Thanks, Hakim!
This is the first buttercream I’ve made that didn’t melt and holds its shape! Made the chocolate and peanut butter flavors, turned out great! Thanks for the awesome recipe!
Well done, Elysia! I'm glad you like the recipe :)
If you want to add a stronger strawberry flavor without thinning your frosting here's an idea:
Place some freeze-dried strawberries in a food processer and pulse till the strawberries are powdered. Then add as much strawberry powder as needed to make the frosting as strongly flavored as you like. Just make sure to use freeze-dried strawberries, because dehydrated strawberries won't work.
Good tip, Julie! Thank you :)
Yeah, I think that could work with any other fruit flavor as well, because a lot of fruit tend to be very liquidy, thanks for the tip! :D
Yes! Learned that from Man About Cake videos recently. I want to try it!
Thanks for this! I was wondering but worried it might dry it out. Great to know. 🥰
@@nca4794 if it DOES make it too thick, just add a little milk or cream to thin it.
I'm so excited to see that Neapolitan cake! It looks amazing!
Wow, thanks so much Karen! I can't wait to hear what you think :)
Also great to hear from you :)

Thank you, I've tried to make buttercream frosting and I could never get it right. My nephew turned 13 today and I made his cake, I used this recipe for the frosting and everyone loved it and said I have to make it for every birthday now. My hand mixer froze up and I need to get a new but it was worth it. Thank you again
Delighted to hear this, Sherry! You are welcome!
Hello Gemma! I love this video! You're crazy series is my favorite! I must tell you that you saved me with your original frosting recipe. Oh Gemma! Before I found you I had tried to make my own frosting and let us just say it was always an exercise in futility. I really started to have a phobia about making my own.😨 I am not joking! I once made a whole batch of lovely vanilla cupcakes for my godson Christopher . I had what I thought was a easy recipe for buttercream frosting which ended up tasting like whipped butter. I had to trash the whole thing and run to the store at 11:00 at night and buy the kind in a can. I don't like to feed this to my beloveds because of the ingredients. After a few more tries with different recipes I gave up. That is until I met you! Now you have a crazy recipe! I am in love with all of the flavors! You have really picked the best ones. As I was watching I was thinking of each person that I would bake it for.( I also thought that there are no good mint extracts except for the one that you showed us how to make. That is the only one that really taste like mint. I am not just trying to butter you up ) anyway I am sorry as usual for going on and on, but I am so excited about this and cannot wait till next week for the Neapolitan cake, but more importantly to celebrate you. Thanks again for all the hard work that you do. To us it seems very natural, but I know a lot of work goes behind it. Fun fact - the way you frosted your cupcakes was delightful!❤💖
Aw, Kelly you're so kind and that means a lot to me. Thank you and delighted to have you with us! :)
Gemma Stafford Gemma I always mean everything I say to you. I am always grateful for the patience you have with me. You have touched my life in ways you do not know. Ways I don't feel comfortable telling you in an open Forum like this. Thank you for always answering me.💚💚
Been wanting this so much!
I really suck at baking and your video helped me bake something decent on my own for the first time. God bless u
Glad to have helped you!
Looks great
Thank you!
Yum yum yum 😍😍
Thank you! :)
Your videos are not just recipes alone..but they are my go to when I feel low or need a pick me up❤
I'm glad they're here to support you and hope you feel well :)
Wow this is great i make butter cream frosting all the time but i didnt know it took so little to change the flavor TYVM!
I'm glad you liked it, Chandra! Hope you give them a go soon :)
Hello Gemma! Thank you so much for this recipe! I have some questions. How many cupcakes does your crazy frosting recipe on your website cover? Also are the quantities for each of the flavors/add-ins for one cupcake or for a batch of cupcakes (number please)?
I know it's been a while you posted this, but I pray you see this and respond as soon as you can.
Thanks so much!
Hi. This recipe is enough to frost around 20 cupcakes. Each flavor add ins in the recipe is good for one to two cupcakes and not for the entire batch. Here's the complete recipe www.biggerbolderbaking.com/crazy-frosting-recipe/
I hope this helps
@@biggerbolderbaking Yes it does. Thank you so much!❤
Actually I have found all of my clients prefer melted chocolate to cocoa powder in chocolate frosting. Hope that helps anyone who doesn't like the taste of chocolate frosting with cocoa powder.
Thank you so much. I have cupcakes now for my daughters birthday. Using my russian tips...for the first
Time. Every recipe i tried failed. ..yours worked like a dream...many thanksss🌹
I'm happy to hear it, Glenda. Well done to you!
I ask my grandma to make one.she created chocolate and experimented with mango and cookies and cream
And it taste amazing thank you for the recipe! 😄😄
Are you Irish? You have a lovely accent!
I am! Thank you so much :)

Hello
Can u make orange frosting
Just use orange zest instead of lemon zest. I use juice instead of the milk too, but then you can't make all the different flavors from the same batch.
She also has a recipe for orange frosting in an earlier video (using orange extract)
Love, love, love, thank you once again Gemma! X
Thanks you very much, delighted you like the recipe :)
these are soo easy to make. I'm definitely going to try it.love you Gemma 😘
