hello everyone,

has anyone tried this recipe? the owner of that profile posted that recipe of the buttercream. and based on her photos, her buttercream looks exactly like korean buttercream which is glossy and translucent. I really want to try this but not used to making IMB. So im not confident that i can get it right. Pls do tell me if u ever tried this recipe.

I have not. It looks like it would not be appetizing. It looks greasy to me.

I just looked at the recipe again, it uses granulated sugar instead of powdered, and uses a lot of  butter, most likely why it looks so greasy.

I have used a similar recipe before! In Korea (I'm Korean if that helps in any way), the tip for the glossy buttercream is the Italian meringue buttercream. Just do not whip up the buttercream too much after the butter has been added and only till it has been incorporated (There is a point where the buttercream starts to tense up and harden? before it is whipped into the fluffy buttercream. This is where you want to stop) . Also, Make sure that your meringue mixture is cooled all the way before adding the butter. If you keep these two rules, you will have the glossy buttercream. Good Luck!

I just did some research, the butter in Korean buttercream are quit difficult to find, it is white in color so the result buttercream is different from other recipes.

And I also checked why butter can be white, and some website stated that the butter from corn-fed cow are white and grass-fed cow are yellow

The following is the image of Korean white butter

It is really so white. no wonder they can achieve so realistic colors. i also read with korean buttercream that it also need to have correct temperature?

im also a beginner as well. making cakes for friends and family. i usually searched and follow tutorials on youtube, forums and instagram. it sure is a long way to go. haha but its fine as long as i enjoy it. 

yeah gg craft recipe is so secure. she had a class in my country (philippines), her classes were so expensive. hehe but one of her students who is also a teacher here shared about that she learned in gg craft's class that u can still use swiss meringue. whats important is getting the right temperature. so i was thinking what if whipping my egg whites cold and butter cold. im gonna make cake tomorrow and will try cold method. lets see if its ok.

hi everyone,

I tried making my SMBC, with cold egg whites and cold butter, it didnt turn out translucent or very glossy. haha but i think im gonna stick with this method coz it doesnt melt easily and very spreadable. considering that i live in philippines (tropical-very hot) , this easier to work with. 

Will try Italian meringue next time.
