Faryal, I have been making the Wilton buttercream for at least the last 20 years. Well that all changed today after I made your chocolate buttercream. I can describe the way it turned out and tastes in one word: AMAZING! Thank you so much for sending the recipe to me. This will be my go to buttercream hear going forward.
ronald gale I am so glad to hear that you tried and liked my buttercream recipe. It’s delicious and easy isn’t it.
Thank you for taking the time to post your feedback. Really appreciate that.
Peace and love

Thank you Ron for sharing your feedback and thank you Faryal for the recipe 🙂
You're amazing i made buttercream with your recipe and it was awesome thank you ❤🥰
Amazing 😍😍😍
Looks great. Can you please explain your baking method? The covered pans and low temps is so interesting. I would love to know more. Thank you.
Mmmmm merci beaucoup ❤
Nice video!
Can you share some basic sponge cake recipes which will be helpful for begginers
I have tried this recipe..so delicious. I have added some milk. Perfect 🙌
Just a question, why did the milk look splited from the buttercream?
How would I go about thinning the icing if I needed to?
Hello! What cream do you use as a base to cover the cake with fondant?
In the middle of cake layers I use buttercream and for the outside covering I use ganache then fondant
I’m trying to fill a 3 layer 6” cake and decorate it with this buttercream. Was wondering how many batches of this I’d have to make? I always have trouble knowing how much I’ll need
I am so sorry I think I missed your comment. For 6” cake I need one batch of this recipe. It’s enough to fill in the layers and cover the 6” cake.
Thank you
Peace and love

Is this good for hot weather?
How many minutes do you beat the butter icing Mixture to get the appropriate texture.
I tired making butter icing but it came out too soft .
Good 5mins at least. The more you beat the fluffier it will be. If your butter is too soft then it will make the buttercream very soft. Make sure the butter is not melted. Also don’t add milk if you think your buttercream is coming soft. Especially in hot humid weather you don’t need to add milk. I add milk in winter time mostly.
Hope this helps
Thank you

Thank you! Will this recipe work for margarine?
Julie Bagan it will but the buttercream will be soft not firm. Use the cold margarine.
Thank you
Peace and love

Quick question, how much butter cream do i need to cover up a 4layer round cake(will d 250gm measurement and 2&1/2 cup powder sugar do? Or it has to be x2)
You need to double up the recipe.
Hello Frayal. Thankyou for sharing your recipes. I wanted to know how much buttercream would be needed to cover 2 six inch cakes. Will this recipe be enough?
It really depends on the individual how much buttercream then add for filling and covering some do thick like me and some do thin layers. But roughly I would say this one recipe can be enough for a 6” cake.
How do u make icing sugar at home? I tried chocolate ganache...but has a crispy taste of d sugar... Should i need 2 beat more time so that my sugar melts or I've done any mistake in that? I used powdered sugar in my chocolate ganache...thanks for replying...
Dharini Harikrishnan ok so first of all this is buttercream not ganache. Buttercream and ganache are both different things altogether. Buttercream is made from butter and icing sugar and ganache is just chocolate and cream. You have to buy icing sugar do not try to make it from normal sugar. Sift the icing sugar before you add to the butter and beat for longer if you think it’s grainy.
Hope this helps

Can we make by less sugar . Its looks soooo sweet if we make it by half of this suger dose it ok or not??
That will ruin the taste and the consistency. You can’t reduce the amount I am afraid.
Thank you
Peace and love

Hi, I am a beginner in cake decorating. Can we make flowers with this consistency of buttercream. I am in Canada, weather is not very hot here this month. Thanks.
Yes you can.
Thank you
Peace and love
Faryal
Please tell me, can we use less icing sugar, because this buttercream is soo sweet.
I am afraid you can’t.
hello mam how many water did you add up to your dark chicolate to melt it?
I didn’t add any water to the chocolate. Chocolate and water don’t go together
What type of mixer do you have? My KitchenAid just went up?
It’s Kenwood chef premier. A real work horse. I have been using it for my business for past 8years and still going strong without any issues. As much as I like the look of kitchen aid I would always prefer Kenwood because of its durability.
Peace and love

From where you buy all the stuffs?in Dubai
I am not in Dubai. I am back to London🙂it was very difficult to source cake decorating stuff in Dubai. I took my stuff from London to Dubai so I didn’t buy anything from there.
Thank you
Peace and love

Hi can we use dark chocolate instead of extra dark?
Ali Hassan yes you can
Can we add granulated auger instead of icing sugar
You can’t use grainy sugar. You need powdered sugar/icing sugar to make this.
Which brand coco powder u use ?
I like Aldi’s and Tesco’s own brand.
Can you please make me chocolate ganache without cream.
Can you use nestle semi sweet chocolate chips instead?
Yes you can but I find they don’t give rich chocolate taste
Hi. Can i use salted butter instead?
I personally don’t like the taste of salted butter in buttercream but if you like it you can use it 🙂
Is this BC good for piping?
xscenify yes perfect for piping swirls or for cupcakes 😋
Am new to buttercream..can we cover cake with this buttercream??
Yes of course. Watch my video of sharp edges with buttercream.
Thank you
Peace and love

Hi.. how long it can be preserved?
5-7 days in the fridge and you can also freeze it for longer time.
How can we store butter cream for long time ??
It can be stored in the fridge for upto a week or you can freeze it for longer time. You just need to bring it at room temperature when you will use it haina and beat it for couple of mins.
Thank you
Peace and love
Faryal
I like your chocolate buttercream recipe. Can I use chocolate chips instead of the chocolate bar?? May I know how many minutes you heat the chocolate bar in the microwave? Can I use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate to this recipe??
I prefer baking chocolate but that’s not available then chips would do. I microwave for total 1min I stir in 30sec. You can replace the regular dark chocolate to white chocolate to make the white chocolate buttercream.
Thank you
Peace and love

@@Scrumptiouscakesbyfairy Thank you so much Faryal. You clearly show us how to make the buttercream. It is really helpful for beginners. If i use white chocolate, do i need to add cocoa powder to get the right consistency? or can i just add white chocolate only?
erandi pathirana yes no need to add cocoa powder if you are using white chocolate. Just don’t take away 2tbsp icing sugar use all 500gms. We take away that icing sugar because we add cocoa powder but if not adding cocoa powder then no need to take away the icing sugar. Hope that makes sense
Thank you
Peace and love

@@Scrumptiouscakesbyfairy Thank you so much Faryal. I made the buttercream according to your recipe. It was tasty and it had the right consistency.
Ye wala butter easily mil jata ha?
Easily available in UK and Middle East. I am sure you can find in Pakistan too in big super markets like Imtiaz and Al fatah.
Thank you
Peace and love

Do I really need so much of icing sugar? It looks like a lot 😬..
Yes that’s the normal ratio of buttercream icing
Is the chocolate unsweetened?
HotMess it’s 70% cocoa content.
All my store had was 100% cocoa content unsweetened. I made it and it was great. It needed a bit more milk. I normally hate frosting but this was really good and everyone loved it.
HotMess thank you so much for giving your feedback really appreciate that xoxo
