    😮 OMG! it's alive! Your stand mixer actually works after being neglected for so long only acting as a dead prop in the background! Never thought you were ever going to use it. Hopefully you used it after you cleaned all of the dust off of it LOL! I never thought of tempering egg whites like anglaze used with egg yellows Will definitely have to give this one a 'whirl' girl lol! Thinking it might actually work with donut holes. Will definitely have to play around with this one with my stand mixer that I don't neglect hehe.. Oh, don't neglect "Wolfie" your Shepard he might want to lick the bowl on this one. lol!You didn't quite get him edited out lol! .

    Looks delicious but I think 4 sticks of butter are just way too much. I used 2 sticks of butter in a frosting before and it tasted greasy. It was too much. Is there any way to adapt this ? I'm concerned with that much butter. Thank you.

  • @zaza7594

    Beat that buttercream on high speed for a bit longer (2 min for example), after it's come together. The more you mix it the less buttery it tastes. When you're happy with the taste, turn the mixer on minimum speed for 5min knock out the air bubbles (or do it by hand). You can't always just change the amounts of butter (or other key ingredients) because it will impact the stability of the recipe. There are some ratios that needs to be respected for an optimal result :)

    Yes! This frosting will freeze well for up to 3 months. You’ll need to thaw it to room temperature before whipping it back to the proper texture. It will frost an 8” or 9” 2 layer cake or a 13×9 cake.
