I’m so glad you like it! I hope it helps you to achieve those elusive colours🙂

thank you so much for sharing cant wait to try this

I’m certainly no scientist. But I think this works because the quick burst of heat from the microwave infuses the colour into the buttercream/smbc. If you put a tea bag in a mug and microwave for a minute on high, you will get a very dark, rich potent tea. That normally would take 5-7 minutes of steeping. So this technique is very similar. Speeds up the process. Definitely a winner. I’ve done this with coffee filter paper in a bowl of gel colour and water in the micro. Get very dark colour on the paper. So knowing the tea and coffee filter paper trick, I say to myself....why didn’t I think of this!!! Greater minds than mine... 🤣🤣👍👍. Thanks for sharing..❤️❤️

I love your videos... Can't wait to try this technique ❤️

Does this technique work on Italian Butter Cream and SBC's And how about whipping cream!!!

Can this trick be applied to whipped cream as well?

Will this work for cream cheese buttercream as well? Thanks

This is a great tip! if only I’d seen it before I made my buttercream. I already have a batch of grey BISCOFF buttercream and I am currently trying to achieve black. I put a small amout in the microwave to test it, it did came out black! but it came out lumpy and almost solid and oil had separated. I tried to whip it, or add boiling water but it’s not coming back to buttercream consistency, the mixture just turned into crumbs. 😩 Is it because the biscoff is already in the buttercream that’s why it didn’t work? Please help! I’m currently making this buttercream for decorating tomorrow and now staying up all night trying to achieve black. I don’t know what else to do..I will greatly appreciate if you can respond..thanks! 🙂

Thanks I’m going to try this

Hi after microwaving my buttercream it turned a deep black, then put it in the fridge and was still black. After using a whisk it has turned grey again… HELP… how does it stay black? Thank you so much for your help

can you use this trick on condensed milk buttercream? 😅

I saw that working for small batches but what about when you have to do a large batch of red or black buttercream to do a lot of buttercream? How would you achieve the dark colors when you have a lot of frosting?

@THATSCAKEABLE

The best thing to do in this situation is to melt down about 1/3 of your batch of BC and add it to the rest then mix. It may not be quite as dark initially, however, if you let it sit for 12-24 hours, you should achieve a great result. I hope this helps 🙂

I’ve never worked with these mediums so I couldn’t actually recommend a method for whipped cream/cream cheese. I do recommend, however, that you DON’T use this method as I can’t see them coming back together after heating . Sorry I couldn’t help this time 🙁

Does this change the consistency?

@THATSCAKEABLE

3 жыл бұрын

Once the buttercream comes back to temperature and you rewhip it, it remains the same consistency. Hope you have fun with it 🙂

I tried this method and at first it was a beautiful deep black even when it was room temp. But as soon as I re-whipped it , it became grey again

@THATSCAKEABLE

Just be very careful how much you re whip it. What you are doing by heating it is emulsifying the oils in the buttercream and water in the food colouring so that they become uniform. If you whip too much air back into the mixture, you will lighten it up again. I make my buttercream using a stand mixer firstly and whip it like crazy before I add colour. Once the colour is added, I microwave a small amount, add it to the batch then stir it together manually.once it’s set, I use a hand mixer to just quickly incorporate a little air and re constitute the ingredients. I hope this helps 🙂

What if you use powder food coloring? Help!

I’ve not actually used this method with powdered colour so I can’t give you a definitive answer but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to try. Wishing you all the best of luck with it 😊

I have issues with my buttercream separating and never coming back together again. I’ve tried letting it harden in the fridge and then beating it on low, everything I can think of, and it still is a soupy separated mess. 😩

Oh thats not good at all! I would recommend either microwaving for less time or removing some of the original buttercream, heating that, then adding it to the original batch and mixing it back together. I hope this helps.

I would use a Bain Marie method. Place water in a saucepan and then place your frosting in a heat safe bowl, place it over the hot water and heat it that way. I hope this helps 🙂

Put mines in the microwave it didn’t see the colour stayed grey and now it’s still liquid after whipping for 15mins 😭💔

Just refrigerate it until it firms up a bit then rewhip it again. I’m sure it will come back together just fine.
