Several people have asked for my buttercream recipe. Here it is. 2 pounds sifted powdered sugar 4 ounces ( 1 stick ) butter 12 ounces (1 ½ cups) solid white vegetable shortening ( Sweetex or a high ratio shortening is best) 1-2 Tablespoons Alan’s Bridal Blend Flavoring 2 Tablespoons Powdered Coffee Creamer dissolved in 1/3 cup very water Cream softened butter, vegetable shortening and flavoring until smooth and light. Add powdered sugar and dissolved coffee creamer and mix on medium speed for 4-8 minutes until smooth. Scrape the sides of the bowl frequently. This recipe doubled will fill a 5 quart mixer. For whiter icing omit the butter and add ½ cup more shortening.

***** You can substitute any flavoring of your choice such as vanilla, butter, lemon, etc. You can add melted unsweetened chocolate to the icing to make a chocolate buttercream.

Hi, your recipe for buttercream is missing the temperature of the water...it says 1/3 cup very water... hot or cold? Thanks :)

Robin Hanson Good catch. I mix the powdered creamer with very hot or boiling water then allow it to cool to room temperature.

I’ve watched so many videos showing how to make a rose and this is the best and most detailed one I’ve seen. I had no idea why my roses were coming out so flat!

I loved everything about this video, your pleasant voice and the closeness of the camera to show the detail of each rose you made. I have never made a rose but with this video I believe I can do this, that is watching this as I do it but at least I will do it.

i have been trying for weeks to make a rose that looked worthy of the name, i failed every time and almost gave up, your video was so easy to follow, it took two tries but finally i can now produce a rose i am happy with, Thank you Chef!

I have been a baker for 10 yrs cooking for the military but never got the formal training that I needed and desired to have. Your tutorials have helped me so much. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Carmen, you can easily make icing flowers ahead and freeze them for future use. Many bakeries make their flowers once a week during slow days to be prepared for weekend cake orders.

GlobalSugarArt I just made my first rose's. With some practice they turned ok. Thank you so much for taking the time to share all your tips and skills with us. Your the best. I wish I could show you my first Rose. You can see them getting better Everytime.

I just bumped into this on a midnight insomnia how-to youtube binge... and I wanna tell you... this is awesome, perfect, exactly something I needed to come across! I have a 13 year old that's got a confirmation coming up in spring and.. well.. I'll probably end up having to make everything for catering the following party. I have worked in a bakery before so I'm confident enough in making several forms of decoration, but buttercream roses are much easier to get in the colours you want than marzipan ones and I've not worked in buttercream in that way before. So this is, exactly something I could use.

I love the fact that you taught yourself and tell people to experiment with techniques. Thank you so much!

I just got my first job for decorating cakes and one of the very first things I've had to do was learn roses. This video was perfect and explained so well. Thank you!

Your videos are an inspiration to professionals trying to better themselves further! Thank you!

I did a refresher of my baking and decorating skills yesterday (something that had gone woefully unused in a diabetic house,) and this is so useful. I can not tell you how long I spent trying to figure out how to make a rose, and just made frosting piles instead. This is exactly what I needed. Time to make yet more buttercream!

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I watched this... about three years ago, when I was first starting to learn how to decorate, and it helped me IMMENSELY. I found it again just now, and picked up a few more tips just by watching it again!

Thanks so much for this video! My roses are now standing tall and I'm so glad to learn what I was doing wrong and how to correct myself. Very good tutorial!!

I'm really pleased I stumbled across this video. Off to attempt my first ever buttercream rose! Fingers crossed :-)

This is a wonderful tutorial. Thank you so much for the help!

you are the best tutor I've ever came across with thanks Alot people are lucky to have u

Thank you! You inspire unfounded confidence

The best tutorial to pipe rose. Thank you!

I have always wanted to learn how to create a rose. I searched the internet but still did not see any good videos on how to create a rose until now. You are the perfect teacher aka master of creating a rose. I like baking and I love to learn how to design cakes because I want to open my own bakery one day. Thank you again!!!

This is the rose tutorial that I've been looking for so long. I always have a bit of trouble with the base of the rose (the cone), but with this, that most likely will be solved. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve watched so many videos and still struggled with making roses. The way you explain it is just great and it was so easy to follow it! My roses were finally beautiful ❤

Love seeing how beautiful yummy things are made thank you for this !

Thank you for being a good teacher. This is a perfect video for a beginner

Got it right. Thank you so much. It has boosted my confidence..

I love this! Very detailed.

Beautiful roses....you make it look so Easy!

Thank you so much. I am a just beginning to bake cakes and I've been trying to make roses since last night without the slightest hint of success. I've watched several youtube channels in order to learn how to do this and you are the only channel that made this so very clear for me. My roses still aren't perfect, but practicing this way will most certainly make me better! :D

Thanks for the buttercream rose.i like it!

YESS!! The Best flower intructor there is!! Hands Down.Thanks So Much Chef Alan, you're incredibly talented to teach these things ☺ I appreciate your amazing beautiful work 🌺🌹 God bless🌷

Amazing teaching video! Very easy to learn. THANK YOU!

I have no clue how I got here, but I love this video! Honestly I don't think I could ever get the hang of cake decorating, but I do think it's fun to watch others do it!

I've already froze 24 roses #104 tip. My first time doing it, so it took me a good part of the day. I don't think i built the mound high enough to start the roses, they rise up however just not as high as yours. Now I just watched your video, so I'm gonna practice your way, Beautiful roses you did! I still need to make a few large roses.

ADORABLE!

Thank you so much for taking your time/ I felt so dumb that I didn't know how to make these, but in the beginning of your video when u said it is a beginners lude because we find it very hard, it REALLY made me feel less insecure. And you took your time. All the other videos I looked up were super fast and didn't explain step by step . Thanks a million :)

Thank you so much for this, my roses always come out flat, I'm going to give your method a try!
