Ok experts I need help. I have been making cakes for my family for a few years now and every time I make my own batch of buttercream it turns out with too many bubbles in it. I do not have a Kitchen Aid or any similar mixer, mine is a sunbeam that rotates the bowl instead of the attachment, also it does not have a paddle attachment. I wanted to know if there is anyone out there who uses a similar mixer and is able to get smooth buttercream.. If you do, please tell me your secret. I don't like using the storebought frosting but I end up using it because my cakes do not end up smooth.
Thank you
After you mix it give it a good mix with a spatula to finish, it will knock most of those bubbles out.
I make my buttercream in a 12 quart mixer, but I alway remix the portions I need using my Sunbeam two beater mixer like yours. The trick is to have enough icing in the bowl to cover the beaters up to their shafts...this prevents beating in air. Also, scrape the bowl frequently. If you buttercream is too stiff it will also be harder to get the bubbles out. Hope this helps.
mixing it right is key of course -- but if you find yourself already icing with it -- run your icing spatula the opposite direction and the bubble holes will disappear easier -- if you're icing it east -- run the spatula the other way -- works
