I received a larger kitchen-aid mixer, the 6 quart, and I made a couple batches of Sugarshack's buttercream - I even got new measurements straight from her, but I can't get the batches to come out smooth. I only mix it on speed 2 and it still was full of little air bubbles. Any suggestions or measurements from anyone to make is smooth in the larger mixer?
I have a 6 qt and the recipe I use, I can fit 8 lbs of powdered sugar in the mixer (I think that's about the same as sugarshack recipe, slight variations). You will have to use a pouring shield and it can end up slightly above the edge of the bowl for awhile (so hold the shield tight!) but then it mixes to a perfectly full and smooth bowl full of icing.
I use the sugarshack recipe (make sure you are using the one that is for the size mixer you have) I also have the 6 qt. and it uses 6 lb. powdered sugar. The trick is to make sure the bowl is COMPLETELY filled when beating it. It always comes out smooth as silk for me, Love that recipe!
