What is going on with my BC icing??? ... Help - Page 5

Oh Sharon, that picture is so depressing! LOL. I'm going to crack the code on this icing yet! I'm waiting for my KA to blow up so I can go buy one with the lift head! I've tried everything else!!!! icon_eek.gificon_redface.gif

Seriously, I can usually get it to the point that I can work with it and can get my icing fairly smooth on the cake. I would just like to be able to dip my spatula in the bowl and come out with it creamy and smooth without having to remix or add more liquid.

I wish I had more advice. You all just need to come down here, with your mixers and ingredients.... and we will have a huge icing making party and figure it all out!

Is there a specific reason why you don't like the beaterblade? Does it not do the job well in mixing an airless icing?? I use it to make my ole regular icing , some air not much but I was gonna try Sharon's as I have 2 outdoor receptions that need to hold up to the heat and humidity.

No...using my own recipe, that is similar. The making sure it filled up my 6 qt to the brim, and mixing wet ingredients first, really helped. I also read somewhere to beat the crap out of my shortening first, going to make sure I do that too.

As the beaterblade scrapes the side, it makes pockets to the top that allows air down into the icing. I had to switch back to my regular paddle for icing again. Too bad, too...but yeah it does work better.

I just want to thank you lady's (kitagrl/Sharon) for taking the time to answer questions, I did not join in the threat because all my questions were pretty much answered.

I do know for a fact that I have definitely not beated my BC that long which is why maybe its not as smooth.

You guys rock !!!

Its amazing how different the ingredients make the buttercream...this week I was short on time so bought everything (butter, sugar) at Target instead of my regular places and I don't care for my buttercream!!!! Weird.
