      @madelineyoung275 Před 4 lety +56

      If it’s been sitting, even just for a few minutes, the outside gets “crunchy” as the sugar crystallizes. It’s best eaten straight away or kept in airtight containers in the fridge, then removed about 10 mins before eating so it’s not cold and the icing can soften a bit. This is just my experience, but it’s pretty consistent

    As a parent, I enjoyed hearing all their critiques and reasons for liking or not liking a frosting.
    My child is pretty easy going, appreciates most desserts and understands each sweet concoction is unique; however, not all children are the same.
    I may have some later who are the opposite and are very picky.
    From my observations though, children tend to grow out of pickiness, or at least the pickiness becomes less discriminating. Some things I hated as a child or could barely stand to eat, I love now! And in contrast, some things I loved back then, I don't want to touch again, lol.
    These kids are still growing and they may change (or they may not!). Thanks for including them in your video, twas interesting.

    Just thought I'd say that if you add butter to the 'Italian Meringue', it's called 'Italian Meringue Buttercream'. Swiss and Italian buttercreams have similar ingredients but different methods when making them. Swiss does not use sugar syrup, that's why more people prefer Swiss buttercream to Italian (and French) because they find making the sugar syrup a bit challenging.

    Great video! I was expecting the children to go for the really sweet icings. The little girl really surprised me with her answers. She was dead on in tasting and judging for most, in my opinion. Butter cream, cream cheese, and plain old icing with powder sugar, butter, and vanilla will always be my favorite but the ganache sounds yummy.

    • @sady1139
      @sady1139 Před 8 lety +108

      +Jacob Wilson no that's a different recipe. The adding of the butter does not make it Swiss, it's the type of meringue used that will differentiate whether it is a Swiss buttercream or Italian. Swiss meringue buttercream is made with Swiss meringue which is when the eggs and sugar are cooked together in a bowl over some simmering water, or a double boiler until a certain temp is reached, then it is beat until stiff peaks are reached, then butter is added... Italian meringue buttercream is Italian meringue based, and it is what happened in the video.

    @Sombrah11911 Před 9 lety +75

    Your American buttercream has a grainy texture because 1. Your butter wasn't nearly soft enough and you really have to cream it until it's very pale before continuing and 2. because you added the icing sugar too fast. To avoid that graininess you start with really soft butter, cream it well and alternate small quantities of the sugar and milk until it's all incorporated. It's still sweet but it will be soft and smooth.

Only one thing - the one you called Swiss was actually Italian. (Swiss heats and whisks the egg whites and sugar first over a water bath then beats them and adds butter.) That only matters to me because it's the one I've been planning to try first. Doesn't take away from your AMAZING video, however. Even showing effects of heat and fondant! Really - thanks so much!
