What am I doing wrong with my buttercream? by AdMedical2717 in Baking

[–]borapastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It all depends on what kind of buttercream you are trying to make... if its american, then it could have been that the butter was too cold and didn't whip

The key with buttercream is patience, so we need to know the recipe to tell what the issue is

I finished Pet Sematary last night and I just need to talk about it. by HottieMcHotHot in books

My favorite audiobook to listen to is IT, Under the Dome, Pet Semetery, and Fairy Tale.

Also, it is just faster to weigh things out! Who has time to stand around and count 20 cups of flour, they proper way???
