Easy and Delicious! Very Light Buttercream
くまめし @cook_40068109
A buttercream made with meringue whipped with sugar, no syrup needed. With a higher ratio of egg whites, it results in a fluffy and light finish! You can use salted butter if you prefer.
The origin of this recipe
I wanted to make buttercream as light as possible, so I tried making a buttercream with a higher ratio of egg whites.

- 1
Bring the butter to room temperature until it reaches a creamy softness. If it's cold, microwave it on low for a short time to soften.
- 2
In summer, just leave it at room temperature without microwaving. Open the butter wrapper and leave it out to avoid extra dishes!
- 3
Make the meringue. Place the egg whites in a bowl and warm them over a double boiler (water temperature should be 122-140°F). Once warm, whip at high speed.
- 4
Once the egg whites are warm, remove from the double boiler and continue whipping. If the egg whites stay warm, the butter will melt when combined.
- 5
When the mixture becomes white and frothy, add the remaining sugar in two parts and whip. (The sugar makes it sticky, so whip coarsely before adding sugar)
- 6
When stiff peaks form, whip at low speed for about 1 minute to refine the texture. When it becomes glossy, it's done.
- 7
The glossy meringue is ready. Next, add the creamy butter to the meringue in three parts, whipping at low speed each time.
- 8
After the first mix, it's still separated.
- 9
After the third addition, mix at low speed. It starts separated but will gradually come together into a butter-like consistency.
- 10
Once well combined, it's ready!
- 11
It's great for decorating due to its excellent shaping properties. The photo shows a cake decorated with cream flavored with matcha or strawberry powder.
- 12
Decorate on top of pudding for an adult-style pudding à la mode.
- 13
A Koinobori cake for Children's Day. The cream doesn't separate, making it perfect for colored creams.
- 14
I accidentally published Okacchi Lemon's feedback before entering a comment! It's a beautiful cake like a flower basket!
- 15
Stained glass-style cake. In summer, the cream tends to soften, so I spread it flat and topped it with a glaze.
- 16
Pipe clouds with a large round tip on blue cream, and decorate with chocolate balloons and Jackie. Simple decorations are easy!

Delicious Buttercream
This is the buttercream my family likes for spreading on cookies or bread.I used it as macaron filling and gave it as a gift and the receiver loved it!Adding honey to the egg white makes the cream turn out really thick (You can use granulated sugar or powdered sugar instead, but the cream will be thinner).Beat the egg white well.If you use 30 g of powdered sugar, the buttercream will be very sweet, so adjust the amount to your liking.

Microwave Buttercream
Whenever I make buttercream, I tend to have leftovers. This recipe yields an amount that should be easy to both make and use up.After microwaving, the syrup container will be very hot, so be careful not to touch it with bare hands.Bring the butter to room temperature to avoid it separating later.When you add the butter, make sure that the meringue is at room temperature.

Buttercream
🍭Buttercream is a frosting used to fill or cover a cake that will later be covered with fondant. It can also be used as a frosting to decorate cupcakes, cakes, and create decorations with a piping bag.I used this frosting to cover a five-layer sponge cake because I needed to attach the fondant at the end. I didn't use it as a filling because I don't really like the intense taste of butter. When used to cover a cake, the taste isn't as strong as when used as a filling.If needed, you can also color the buttercream and decorate your cake with just the frosting. 🍭

Buttercream for Cake Decoration
With this cream, we can cover the cake or use a piping bag to create any decoration we want. We can also use it as a filling for cakes. In English, it's known as buttercream.To make the buttercream white, beat the butter well and choose a brand that is naturally whiter. The original recipe called for butter and shortening, but since shortening is not available in Greece, we use margarine. You can adjust the ratio depending on your taste and how much butter flavor you want.To make it chocolate-flavored, add 3 oz (90 grams) of melted chocolate and another tablespoon of milk or water.

Strawberry Buttercream Cake
This is a simple Christmas cake made with buttercream. I didn't really like it when I was a child, but now for some reason, I crave it.The buttercream is not so sweet, so I added a little honey. Adjust the taste to your liking. I used an amount of buttercream that was right for the simple decoration. If you put the cream directly on the strawberries inside, the cake will slip, so spread the cream on the top layer and put that on top. Recipe by Taunbi-

Decorator's Cream Cheese Buttercream
This is my favorite frosting to use for cake decorating. It tastes great and is wonderful to work with. When decorating cakes, it's best to use hi-ratio shortening, but if you have qualms about it, you can use regular shortening. I just can't guarantee that it will crust up as well.
Christmas Log with Buttercream
I don't even know how long I've wanted to try making buttercream. But have you recently tried searching the internet, magazines, and cookbooks for a buttercream recipe? Well, I can assure you that most of the ones you'll find are for cake design. I was looking for a 'good' recipe for 'traditional' French buttercream, and I found many, but the problem was choosing the right one. So I discovered 3 schools of thought: 1 without eggs, 2 with eggs, 3 with pasteurized eggs. For this dessert, I obviously discarded the second option and tested the 1st and 3rd.

Buttercream for Coating and Decorations
This is the recipe I've been using for a long time for coating cakes, generally before covering them with fondant. Buttercream is also great for decorations, perhaps with added food coloring, for example, for roses or flowers using special Russian piping tips. In this case, it's flavored with vanilla, but you can also use rum or cocoa depending on what you're making.

Vegetable Shortening Buttercream Cake
VEGETABLE SHORTENING BUTTERCREAMHere's the cake I just made. Today, I tried using vegetable shortening to see how the buttercream turns out.- Here's the reviewI followed the usual buttercream recipe. The shortening whipped up nicely but didn't reach 100% success and beauty because vegetable shortening is very light and smooth, making it easy for shapes or flowers to collapse and stick together. Therefore, when decorating, you can only use vegetable shortening to create flat flowers like the ones I made today. After taking the flowers out of the fridge, quickly use a knife tip to attach them to the cake because they soften again in just 5 seconds.Coloring: Coloring vegetable shortening is very difficult. You have to mix quickly and vigorously for the color to blend evenly.Taste: Light, not too sweet, and melts quickly in the mouth.The process of whipping the shortening is the same as with animal butter, and the recipe remains the same.

Amazing moist vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting!
This recipe is fairly similar to my chocolate cupcake recipe except that I made some modifications. The buttercream is easy but still hard. You need to follow the directions for everything or it won’t work. I’ve tried this recipe twice and once it didn’t work because it was too clumpy. You need to make sure you follow the recipe.What I loved about the buttercream is that there was none left over! It was perfect!!
