^ did you use egg whites? bakit nangawit kamay mo, did you whip manually? 

[kim_trasher07]

^ yes sis, gumamit ako egg whites. kaso parang ang tagal ko siyang minimix bago siya naging
stiff. Hand mixer gamit ko sis. Kulang kaya ako sa egg whites?

[kookie420]

i don't think yun yung reason, kasi sabi nga ng experts, it's better to use hand mixer if konti lang egg whites na kailangang i-whip. baka may yolk na sama sa egg whites mo? or baka may nasamang other stuff (like water, etc)?

mga sis anong frosting yung matagal ang staying power ? i mean yung hindi natutunaw agad? pashare naman ng recipe

gusto ko kasi itry yung rose swirls sa cake ng baby ko kaya lang first time ko magbebake at gagawa ng frosting kaya wala akong idea. thanks

[DasmaMama]

Hi Sis, pwede ka gumawa ng buttercream. just substitute shortening for the butter para hindi matunaw.

[andee how?]

Pinadalhan ako ni bf ng readyily mixed Betty Crocker frosting. I have yet to taste and try it, gagamitin ko sa mother's day sa sunday kung hindi lasang processed food.

[miksha]

^ok naman lasa niya lalo na the whipped cream cheese though sobra tamis nga lang.. yoon napansin ko sa lahat nang ready mix frosting nang betty crocker super tamis sila lahat for my taste

I've never tried making my own frosting or icing but I love icing especially yung matigas yung labas tapos malambot sa loob.  Ano nga ba tawag dun?  Thanks for the recipes here I'm looking forward to make my own I hope it will work.  I saw a question about the frosting na natutunaw ang nabasa ko sa internet is you need to put shortening Crisco daw ang recommended and some cornstarch.  Hindi ko pa yan nasusubukan ha

[hanson15]

heto rin ang dilemma namin. Nagiging matamis ang icing kasi made of sugar siya. So we need to chooose for design or taste.

Kung taste pwede siya maging runny or hindi ganaanong stiff.

 Kung matigas siya for sure sa labas nun parang sugar tapos sa loob malambot. Made of sugar naman kasi ang icing.  This one is good for decorating.

No choice kami kundi yung mas matamis. Nagcompromise nalang kami na cake namin mismo is more of cocoa siya para magblend sa icing

[cheezecake]

according sa nabasa cornstarch daw para hindi masyadong matamis and hindi rin mabilis matunaw. unfornately, I can't find the site 

[hanson15]

sa youtube yan sis hindi ko lang matandaan yung site. Try ko nga yan minsan. Kasi kami pag nag mix tansta lang tapos pag stiff na yung hirap na maghalo yung mixer yun na yun.

Pero habang hindi siya stiff add ng add ng confectionary sugar.

[cheezecake]

eto na yung link sis nahanap ko din sa wakas...let me know if okay siya

CRISPY FROSTING RECIPE

2/3    cup granulated sugar
2    egg whites
1 1/2    cups (3 sticks) butter, at room temperature, cut up
1 2/3    cups confectioners’ sugar
1/4    teaspoon kosher salt
2    tablespoons milk
1    tablespoon vanilla extract
1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk the sugar and egg whites. Fill a saucepan half full with simmering water. Set the bowl over (but not touching) the water. Whisk for 3 to 5 minutes or until the mixture is hot to the touch. It will thin as the sugar melts.

2. Remove the bowl from the heat. Tip the mixture into an electric mixer fitted with a whip. Beat at medium-high speed for 6 minutes or until the mixture becomes thick and white like a meringue and is cool to the touch.

3. Turn the mixer to medium and add the butter a few chunks at a time, beating for 3 to 4 minutes or until it is all incorporated. Add the confectioners’ sugar, salt, milk, and vanilla. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and satiny. (If not using immediately, transfer to an airtight container and store at room temperature up to 3 days; beat in the mixer for a few minutes until smooth.)

4. Remove the cupcakes from the muffin tins and arrange on a platter. Fit a pastry bag with a star or round tip. Fill the bag halfway with frosting and pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes. Alternatively, spread the frosting with an offset spatula.

check mo na lang 

[viellemacey]

^salamat sis.

ang pricey palang hobby ng baking kaya sana makagawa ako ng matino.

[DasmaMama]

Yes, stable ang boiled icing. Pero sis dapat perfect para maging stable. Ako kasi minsan runny dahil siguro hindi pa stiff si egg whites o kaya naman dahil kulang pa sa beat after ko ilagay yung sugar mixture.

[viellemacey]

mga sis how do you store your shortening(crisco)? room temp lang ba o sa fridge?

[dyann***]

^room temp. sakin

[rsc_ricci]
