How do you fix a runny buttercream frosting?
Well, hello there, friend! If your buttercream frosting is feeling a bit runny, don't you worry. Just add a little more powdered sugar, a spoonful at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency. Remember, mistakes are just happy little accidents in the world of baking. Just keep on whisking and soon enough, you'll have a lovely, fluffy frosting ready to spread on your delicious creations.
Melted chocolate and whipped cream together?
Actually, you can mix them together. The trick is to make your whipped cream icing in one bowl (without the powdered sugar)- mixed to completion, and make the buttercream in a separate bowl, and then fold together using a spatula. I have done this many times (I'm a baker) for various reasons; sometimes to "stretch" icing if I dont' have enough of one, sometimes to stabilize whipped cream, sometimes to lighten up the buttercream. The effect that you get will depend on how you mix the two. If mixed in equal parts, you'll just end up with more icing that tastes like buttercream (not quite double- more like 1(BC) +1(WC) = 1.5 both. If you want to stabilize your whipped cream, you'd add a LITTLE bit of buttercream at a time until it gets to the desired consistency. Really it only takes a little, because the butttercream is so heavy it will deflate your whipped cream if you use too much. If you want to lighten up your buttercream, you'd add a lot of whipped cream to a small amount of buttercream- your whipped cream will definitely deflate, but the final product will be lighter than buttercream. BTW- all this is based on you using an actual "butter" buttercream- not one made from shortening. If you want the taste of buttercream but the consistency of whipped cream, I suggest using a Swiss Buttercream. It's the best of both worlds. -baker for 13 years

What is the recipe for buttercream frosting?
A simple recipe for American buttercream (the kind you might find on a cake from a grocery store) is "411". That's: 4 lbs of powdered sugar 1 lb of butter 1 lb of shortening Obviously do a 1/4 batch if you don't need that much. "411" is just easy to remember. Then all you do is cream those together, maybe add some vanilla. You may have to add moisture if its really stiff, such as water, or even juice for a flavored buttercream. There are other buttercream formulas....french buttercream, Italian meringue buttercream....but these are for the more advanced.
If my buttercreme frosting has a yellow tint to it How can you dye it white?
Buttercream frosting or icing naturally has a cream colour from the butter in it. The more air beaten into it, the paler it will be, and the softer it will be. The yellow colour of pure butter is naturally stronger if the cows producing the milk are grass fed rather than grain fed. If a pure white frosting or icing is wanted, do not use butter or make a buttercream, but the creamy flavour will be missing.
