  1. Greetings Sugarologie.
    I’m watching all the way from Zimbabwe. Thank you so much for all your valuable tutorials/guidance in my baking world. I’ve been so afraid of frosting cakes for so many reasons. However, yesterday I attempted your cream cheese buttercream with a red velvet cake and YUM!!!

  2. I honestly don't know how anyone can use any other recipe than a sugarologie recipe.

  3. I recently made a French Buttercream to use as a filling for a chocolate indulgence cake (ganache on outside).
    I think I overcooked the egg syrup because it crystallised upon cooling, but I was able to reheat it and still use it.

  4. Isn’t French buttercream used as the traditional filling for Opera cake? I found it to be a loser and less stable buttercream, imo. I am going to have to try your method

  5. I’d love to hear your thoughts on using Black Cocoa Powder in place of Dutch-processed Cocoa Powder for the chocolate version. Ever since you introduced me to Black Cocoa, I can’t help wanting to add it to everything!

  6. I have always felt intimidated making French Buttetcream Frosting but after watching you make it I am going to give it a go. Thank you!

    P.S. I love furry baby's appearances. I have always loved this breed and his markings are just beautiful. Too adorable! ❤

  7. French buttercream is a little too rich and heavy for me so I lighten it up with a little meringue.

  8. Always delighted when you share your frostings with us. I’ve never made French buttercream bc it seemed intimidating and I wasn’t sure how it would hold up. I have made SMBC and found the flavor lacking. So maybe FBC will be my new fave! Oh I made your American Dreamy Buttercream last weekend with a bit of honey bc I was short corn syrup — phenomenal. I want to try it will ALL the syrups. Happy Halloween!

  9. Thank you so much for this video and recipe. I made whole egg buttercream a couple of years ago and love the flavor and the texture. It was delicious. Unfortunately, even though I knew it would be more sensitive to temperature than some other buttercreams, I didn’t expect it to be to the extent it was. I’m definitely going to try again with your recipe though, it’s just that delicious.

  10. This sounds like it would pair perfectly with the Ube Velvet Cake from the cakeculator! Just baked that up for my son's birthday party this weekend! I was going to pair it with the Russian buttercream, but this sounds like a better pairing 🙂
