Ive been making frostings for 40 years.. if you make it with a paddle you wont have air bubbles. I love the way you demonstrate your recipes though... Great job!

I need to make black frosting for a Rubic cube cake. They say to add the black gel color to chocolate icing. Could i do that with this icing? Thanks

I'm a patisserie chef and still learn so much from your videos. I love all the baking tricks and science I learn. Thanks so much 🙏
I recently subscribed to your channel. I was asked to bake oatmeal cookies for work and I hadn't made cookies since middle school home-ec. My coworkers loved them! Most people bring store bought cookies and they could taste the difference in your recipe. I made your chocolate chip cookie dough today and froze the little dough balls like you recommended. I ❤ your channel and your sense of humor. ( I used a sifter and sea salt. So many great tips in your videos.) I do plan to try more cookie recipes!

John, I have learned so much from your videos. Every recipe I baked of yours have receive so many compliments. Purchased your book and love the recipes, although I enjoyed listening to you in your videos; they are so informative.
I always wondered why my buttercream frosting didn’t look smooth; thank you for explaining the extra step. I’d make extra just because I’m an admitted chocoholic 😁

I just made your cheese Danish recipe and I'm loving it! I've made your chicken florentine recipe to and It was amazing. Thank you John!
This was an excellent detailed video on Buttercream Frosting! The added tips you provide are what really sets you apart! Thank You! I have pre-ordered your Cookbook! I look forward to receiving it in time for the Holidays! I absolutely love you and all your wonderful videos! God Bless You and your family! 🛐❤️🤗❤️🛐
I always enjoy buttercream frosting. Thanks for sharing this
I love this recipe so much. Thank you. I'm so grateful that you also have it in an article so I can read it. I tend to use the video too determined if I'm willing to put in the work and use the written recipe to actually make it. Also, I tried to cut it in half and I messed up and it STILL turned out great. Your recipe is so good we can't mess it up. Thank you!!!!
I have become obsessed with your channel! You make everything look so easy and good! Kudos to you for your talent and dedication to this channel.
Best buttercream frosting recipe I’ve ever tried and succeeded and I’ve tried a few. My frosting was perfect. Thank you for sharing ❤😊
I must try to make some soon 🤩 Thank you for both the amazing and luscious recipe and for the laughs!
Me encanta sus recetas ..felicitaciones maestro.
I'm making a buttercream frosted birthday cake tomorrow and watching this video's been SO helpful it makes me so confident and excited to bake it. Thank you again for all your precious tips and tricks 🥰🥰❤️🙏
Great recipe - and your instructions are the best - thanks
This is the best chocolate frosting I ever made it’s so perfect and delicious
Just made this! So proud cause I’ve never made it before and I halved the recipe. At one point I had to just trust the process because it just looked like brown clumps but when it all came together, it was silky and delicious. Used it to frost some brownies 😊
I totally made this & put it on top of some guinness chocolate cupcakes. Combo to die for! Thank you for the recipe tutorial!!!
Finally a good ABC I made it today and was amazed ! I've made it many times before but this recipe was the bomb !
Chocolate butter cream is my favourite! Perfect for mothers day thank you!
You are the best chef. I mean, you are so versatile, and I love your personality ❤
Excellent tips, you are awesome!! Thank you so much
John, it always makes me smile to see that you make the same little messes with powdered ingredients that I do. It's one of those things that just makes you so relatable and enjoyable to watch. 🙂

Oh and, of course, one of the reasons I follow you is because I appreciate the details you do provide on how to tell what butter is at "room temp". Good job there! Just please also include the non modern appliances involved directions. Thank you!!! Love all your videos!! You have a beautiful kitchen! I also am really into copper kitchen cookware! Really cool 😎!
Wow! I never knew any of that! I will never use my paddle attachment for buttercream ever again!!!!!! You ROCK!
I just discover this channel, and love it so much, everything is so clear thanks 🙏 I am French and we love 💗 in France 🇫🇷
You make everything look so easy, I love your videos!
I made this recipe and it was really good. It was perfectly buttery and chocolatey with a hint of salt. I recommend tasting it every cup of powdered sugar you use. I only used 2 cups and it was the right amount of sweetness for me.
That was so Master’s Class in buttercream. Sooo pretty and delicious looking! Thanks for sharing. 😋😋😋

@@racheldavis5114 yes, of course! I've used it multiple times when baking, and they all turned out great. The only thing I would suggest is that if you use salted butter, don't add any extra salt to the frosting like you would when you use unsalted butter. It would make the frosting too salty. But otherwise, you sure can! 😁

@@sandrominicozzi3005 hi Lidia! If you want to make pink frosting that is natural, then you can try to blend some strawberries or raspberries, simmer them, remove the seeds, and then add them to your frosting. Since you want to use something natural to make a pink frosting, then I definitely recommend using those! They would make a nice color, and a nice flavor too 😋 😊
Thank you i really like your recepies i have done the ice cream cake, the tres leches , and fudge my famaly loved your recipes
Just made this and OMG its beautiful, you have really helped me with my technique, thanks John 😊😊😊😊 My husband said it wasn't just good , it was absolutely beautiful ❤
Hi You make baking so much fun . I love watching your video’s. I can’t wait to make this frosting . Thank you .
I see why you have sooo many followers...I've been cooking for over 40 years but I've never made frosting after the first time was a failure. Your teaching style, with great video and explanation as you go is amazing! i made a silky, beautiful icing that was divine! I used hazelnut creamer as I had no cream, a little coffee, five cups of sugar, and a couple dashes of cinnamon.....so delish! Thank you for teaching!!!!
Seasoned baker here and made this last week for a cake, it really is the BEST chocolate buttercream! John is my go to for anything baked. So chocolatey, silky, smooth and not overly sweet.

@@Klmrc I don’t think it’s too sweet and I’m not a frosting girl, but add the powdered sugar a little at a time until your desired sweetness. I will say this buttercream is nothing like you get at store bakeries, so much better. Try it, you won’t be sorry😬
This looks so delicious! Thank you for sharing this video. 🤤❣
Thank you for this chocolate buttercream recipe. I'm definitely trying it tomorrow.
Muchas gracias por la receta, vi todo el vídeo a pesar de durar 14 minutos es muy entretenido y explica datos importantes, en fin, seguí la receta y me quedo muy bien, muy buen sabor aunque use la mitad de azúcar, me encantó. 😊
Your tutorial is excellent and came just in time for my daughter's birthday 🎂. There is so much helpful information and tips. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
Just subscribed! Thank you so much for explaining how to get those air bubbles out! No one talks about that! You just saved my recipe!
I love how enthusiastic John is! Makes me want to make whatever he is making. Which is usually something naughty!
This looks delicious. I'm so excited about your book! Congrats!
Yummy! I love chocolate buttercream 😋 I ordered your cookbook! I can't wait to get it and make all of the recipes.
I made this and it’s insanely delicious just that my cocoa powder was not really dark as yours Thanks for the step by step instructions
Tried this buttercream for my macarons and it was delicious! Thank you so much🤎
I just love watching you , its been years. I love how you always get me and my Virgo brain 😁😁😁 love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹
I made this frosting this morning came out good I should have added a little more cream to make it smoother. Did realize till after piping ugh! But it still looked nice after the sprinkles! Thank you I will make again
Such a great video- so many helpful tips! Thank you!
I made this!! Everyone loved this!!
Great tips!! The sea salt is a nice touch to contrast flavors. I just made this using 3/4C of 72 %dark chocolate chips instead! It tastes great and the texture was still silky smooth from the melted chocolate! Yum enjoyed it!
This is so nice,you take your time to explain every step ,i have learned a lot from you
I just started watching your channel love it I'm addicted I've been writing recipes down in my notebook to try over the weekend..
Made it - same as my usual but lovely to hear all the extra tips ❤
This looks so good! I dont have a glass bowl for my mixer, only a steel one but maybe I should get one so I can see exactly what I’ve missed when scraping down the bowl!
This was the best instruction I’ve seen for buttercream. Thank you!
I really appreciate where the direction of the video is going, the tips and tricks but most importantly the humor ❤ You made me smiling the while time while watching this, thank you. I look forward to one day turning on my TV and seeing you on your own cooking show! Goodluck! And wishing you continued success 😊

I love the “Virgo feelings”- I feel seen 😁
The lengthy creaming gives the cocoa powder and powdered sugar time to properly dissolve so that the finished frosting is smooth, not grainy. Thank you, John, for teaching not just how, but why.
Wow amazing 🤩 I need this cream for my 🎂 Thank you 👍🏻
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Love your videos!
Hi, I love all ur videos. You explain everything so clearly n make it look easy. I'm gonna bake a chocolate cake today so I needed a good chocolate frosting. Thanx for sharing ur recipe. I'm gonna use it. Love ur humour......u make ur videos so fun.
I just made this, it’s delicious. Thank you for saying that I can add however much icing sugar I want. So liberating. I genuinely thought I had to add the amount specified in recipes. I used much less and it tasted gorgeous. I was too lazy to do the trick for the air bubbles lol. Guess what, air bubbles all over my cake. Serves me right. I’m new to icing cakes this size so still learning and I will definitely take it onboard for my next try. Thanks for the video and recipe ❤
this is great. i'm going to use this recipe for the cake im baking my buddies this weekend. going to pre order your book!
