Haha true! Lucky I was shooting a video and was taking extra care, otherwise I guarantee I would have got some on myself!!
I just made this swiss meringue buttercream for the first time and man I am shocked at the results👌 Defs gonna make this again. Thanks so much 🙂
If you want, use REGULAR cocoa and food color. If grayish, MICROWAVE until melted. It will be JET BLACK (because the color mixes in properly because the particles have melted) !!

I love that the black cocoa gives a slight Oreo flavour
Oreo's are too good right!
Wow.. nice ♥️♥️♥️
Nice job
A great tip on checking the drip consistency is to dribble it on an upside down drinking glass and see if it drips the way you like :)
Ohh thanks for the tip! Never thought of that :)
This is amazing. I've only discovered your channel. Will be doing this cake next week. Once I find the Black Cocoa Powder :)
Awesome! Good luck with it :D
Youre amazing!!! MashAllah
Woahhh!!!

MK stands for?
nice upload~ have a nice day😋💕💕💕💕💕
Awesome and beautiful 😊💜💜💜
I am Türkish and I love you cakes you make.
🇹🇷🇹🇷
Thank you so much Zehra! :)
@@CakesbyMK you're welcome :) 💜💜💜😊😊
beautiful cake! And your instructions are so clear and easy to understand. One question....why not use your spatula to smooth the top? Also, there has been a technique for making darker colors, and that is using the microwave for 10 second bursts....letting cool, then rewhipping. Supposedly it darkens the colors. Thank you for your videos!
Thank you Lynn! Glad to hear you're finding the videos easy to understand :). Yes you can totally use your spatula to smooth out the top - people use different flat tools based on their preferred method. And ohh interesting I have never heard of that technique before - thanks for sharing your knowledge I will definitely check it out! :)
U really explain soo nicely
Can u please tell what u have done with the fillings in each layer
Thanks so much Sona! :) I used a caramel as the filling for the cake layers, and used a salted caramel buttercream to ice the cake :)
Hi, thank you for this great recepy 🙂I'm in the process of giving it a try. My question is when you leave the SMBC to rest for at list 6 hours, do you cover it or not? Just wondering if the air should be able to get to the cream to help the colour dippen? Your buttercream looks fabulous
Thanks so much Ramona! :) And I usually cover the bowl with some cling wrap - you can leave it loosely on the top of the bowl so more air can get in, and I believe this will deepen your buttercream faster :)
@@CakesbyMK I did the Black SMBC following your recipe and it worked perfectly. Thank you so much😃
Hey MK.. make a video on butter cream recipe
i poured black coca in whiped cream it doesn't work and also can u make a video on how to make black whipped cream....it will be a pleasure.. Thanks alot😊😊
I just love your recipes❤
Hello Advani! I have done videos on American and Swiss Meringue buttercream which you can find on my channel :). I am sorry to hear the black cocoa didn't work with whipped cream - I have never tried this myself but will keep your suggestion in mind for future videos. And so glad to hear you're enjoying the recipes! :)
Hello, may i ask when you say let it sit a few hours is that in or out refrigerator?
السلام عليكم شكرا على الفديوهات الرائعة
Thanks Arwa! :) And I whipped up the cream cheese with a hand mixer for about a minute so that it was nice and smooth :)
Absolutely Gorgeous! Can you please tell me the brand of gold & black edible food paint you used? Thank you!
Hi Pamela! Thanks so much :). For the black I used a Chefmaster Coal Black, and the edible lustre dust is a super gold Rolkem lustre dust :)
You should also share your cake recipes😊
Hello Sarah! Thanks for the suggestion will keep it in mind for future videos :) I have a few recipes up on my blog which I use for my cakes that you might like to check out - here is the link: www.cakesbymk.com
These tips are fantastic, thank you. Just a quick question, if you add the powdered to cut out the bitterness, does it make it taste grainy?
You're welcome Salma! And nope it doesn't make it grainy as it's a small amount of icing sugar so it dissolves into the buttercream. Hope that helps! :)
Wow its a gorgeous Black Beauty 😍😍😍 about the black drip you said colour with black gel colour . Won't it seize the chocolate?
Thank you Irzana! The drip is a chocolate ganache, so when adding gel food colour the chocolate doesn't seize due to the cream in the ganache :)
Please do a black and red whipping cream video as well🥺❤️
Will keep this in mind for future videos :)
❤❤❤
I m your new subscriber u r an great artist 👍 mam
i have so many plans for this my soul is black and now i can make cakes to reflect that
Haha this totally put a smile on my face! :)
Hey love your videos very helpful. Would this recipe still be fine to use for normal buttercream with icing sugar or does it have to be Swiss meringue? Also how many layers was the cake and what size was it?
Heya! Thank you so much :) And yes this will be fine to use with American buttercream too. And the cake in this vid is an 8 inch 3 layer cake :)
@@CakesbyMK Thank you so much. I’m planning to make a 8/10”with 5/6 layers. It would look similar to your gorgeous cake in this video but it would have a gold drip instead. I’ve never made black buttercream before and was wondering how do you know how much black cocoa powder to use? Would I just use the same amount that you have used for this video? Also how come your cake is really tall with 3 layers are you pans quite deep? My cakes don’t come out this tall and I need this cake to be tall. I would rather do less layers and have a taller cake. Sorry I know I’m asking a lot of questions but I’m nervous to make a cake like this and your reply would be very much appreciated thank you xx
Hi MK, if the SMBC is left overnight for the colours to develop, would you need to re-whip it before using please? Also, does the black stain mouth and teeth much?? Thanks :)
Hello Sue! Yes that's correct - just give it a whip on a slow speed to remove any air bubbles and get it nice and smooth before using it :). If you use the black cocoa, then no the staining is quite minimal (there is like a very slight stain to the tongue but this goes away quite easily) which is one of the benefits of using black cocoa, but with the method using just the food colouring (making it dark brown then black) then yes this does still stain (though not as badly as when you would just use black gel food colour to colour the entire buttercream). Hope that helps :)
Thank you so much! I was wondering if I could just use enlace food coloring on chocolate frosting to make it black instead of using brown and black food coloring?
Hi there! Yes absolutely if you are using chocolate frosting then there is no need to use the brown colouring :)
Hi. When you add the icing sugar will it make the SMBC less stable? Im staying in hot humid weather n this is important point to take.
Hi there! From my experience the buttercream is still super stable :). I think because the icing sugar amount is quite minimal it doesn't really affect the buttercream (and in an American style buttercream the icing sugar helps with stability so shouldn't have a counteractive effect here). Hope that helps! :)
Tqsm for your reply!😍
❤️❤️❤️❤️
This buttercream is so nice.I will have to try it. Also here did you get your black cake board? I have been looking for those and I can't find any .
Hi Bianca! I got my black cake board from an online shop here in NZ called cakewarehouse.co.nz :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you for your response 😊
Hii❤️ loveed your channel going to make a black cake for my friends birthday ❤️
Well as you said to leave the butter cream for 4-6 hours to get darker , so shall we keep it in refrigerator or at room temperature?
Thank you so much Pinak! :) And just leave it at room temperature covered with some cling film :)
👏👍👏 Thank you again for your tips MK. A big help. Really appreciated. 💖
Regards, Isang
Great video, would love if you could show how to get deep red. feel like I kinda struggle with this. and also if you have recommendations for top quality food colouring brands
Thanks Nzuzi! :) And thank you also for the suggestion, will keep it in mind for future videos. In terms of food colour brands, Chefmaster, Americolor and Wilton are all great brands to use :)
@@CakesbyMK Hello from a fellow Kiwi! I would also be very grateful for suggestions on how to make a deep red/burgundy SMBC/IMBC. Usually I will cover the cake with chocolate ganache then paint over it with gel colour mixed with vodka, but for anyone not wanting either chocolate or alcohol, I'd love to just be able to colour the buttercream directly. Thanks so much....love your channel!
@@jennyperello768 so lovely to hear from a fellow Kiwi! :D And sure will definitely keep this suggestion in mind for future videos. I've heard some crazy tricks recently when it comes to deepening colours so are definitely keen to try them out and share them with you guys :). And thanks so much so glad to hear you're enjoying the videos!
@@CakesbyMK wonderfull... thanks so much! ❤
I actually just came from another of MK's videos showing how to get bolder frosting colors, if you're still looking for bold red frosting. :)
Thank u so much for sharing 💗
Please can u share ur buttercream recipe..
Will appreciate 🙏
Hi Rehana! I have my Swiss meringue buttercream recipe up on my channel and linked in the description box of the video :)
@@CakesbyMK thank you ❤
Bonjour, super vidéo, j’ai une question, lorsqu’on colore un macaron après cuisson , est ce mangeable ? On vas avoir de la peinture de partout? Merci
Hi there! :) Yes it will be edible although without the black cocoa you will need more black gel colour and this may result in staining of the mouth/teeth which is an unfortunate thing when using gel colours!
Thank you for sharing. May I know how to make black drips ? Thank you in advance
You're welcome! For black drips simply add black gel food colour to a white chocolate ganache - I have a coloured drip tutorial on my channel if you want to check it out :)
would it also work if I add blue like a lot of it.. then.. black?
