RE: Red Velvet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
That red velvet cake looks great!!! I love Sally and I have her books! But she tends to put a big amount of sugar. I always reduce the quantity of the sugar for her buttercream recipe (her fudge choco frosting especially coz I dont normally use American Buttercream). Maybe your cream cheese frosting was a bit runny because too much powdered sugar. I got a tips from YouTube concerning cream cheese frosting. Keep the butter or the cream cheese cold (choose one) before mixing. It helps to keep the frosting in a good consistency. Hope it's useful :-)
Thank you for your helpful comment @ikaputri3! :)
That's a great tip. All the recipes suggest an awful amount of sugar and the also say that you should keep butter and cream cheese at room temperature. I will try it like you said.
I also found a recipe for cream cheese frosting that uses milk powder. Maybe that's also a way to get it firmer.
Thanks again! :)
Anytime @alinalisa! I find it hard as well getting the right consistency for cream cheese frosting. I'll have a look for the milk powder one. Thanks for your tip also.
It's the recipe from TheScranLine, btw. :)
I'll check it out. Thank youuuuu :-)
