There is a way to rescue this frosting. And, in this video, I will show you how you can smooth those icing air bubbles away and get a beautiful flawless buttercream cake!

      Do you remember back in the day when the buttercream use crust over?
      Like the roses was hard but when u eat it than it would melt in your mouth… do u know how to crust over the frosting ? American buttercream? With Walmart shortening

    I make buttercream in my mixer. Then, I put it in my food processor. The food processor takes about 95% of the air bubbles out of my buttercream. That really helps me avoid a lot of air bubbles.

  • @Kristen11114
    @Kristen11114 Před rokem +27

    I always just turn my mixer on low after the buttercream is done for 15 to 20 mins with the paddle attachment. That knocks out most of the air and makes a really smooth buttercream

      Or when I am stumped on a order, I don't always watch videos relate to what I am making, that I am stumped on. Most the time, it is completely different then what I am working on. I find she helps clear my head, kinda like wiping the slate clean or starting with a New Paper.... A Brain Reset if ya will! Lol

I bought a lot of supplies got cheap cake mix and vinilla icing and had fun mixing colors and using my turn table, it wasn’t perfect but decently good for my first time baking and decorating a circle cake. I wanted to have fun learning a new skill and now I have. Perhaps I can learn more in the future to perfect my style,

    • @KarolynsKakes
      @KarolynsKakes  Před 8 měsíci

      You must use a crusting buttercream (like the American buttercream I use in this video). If you try this method on a meringue buttercream, those don't crust, so a paper towel will stick to it!
