    your cupcake! LOL!

  4. Anou can you make somthing by the micrawave,please ! ^^
    

  5. can I used confectioner sugar? thank you. .I’m a beginner

  6. You should write or in the description box or in the video the ingredients
    and the quantity , because some people have some difficulty to understand ,
    since my official language in not English 

  7. Dear Jemma, it’s Yukiko from Hong Kong , I have followed your recipes so
    many times, I love it , they are so delicious !! But one thing I still not
    success , it’s the vanilla buttercream T^T … I already beat it for more
    than 10 mins, but still the colour is pearl, not white at all, I saw ur
    vanilla butter cream, they look so white!!! Why? And the icing sugar is not
    dissolve , when I taste it , the texture like…… Sand? Please answer

    Why is milk added to butter cream icing?

  10. JEMMA! I TIRED MELTING THE CHOCOLATE BUT IT DIDNT WORK: Ok so, i put it on
    a double boiler. all good. Then i waved my hand over it like u did and it
    didn’t work!!! I then did it 37 more times and then it worked! WHY DIDN’T
    IT WORK THE FIRST TIME LIKE U D:? 

  11. New subby, your recipes are so yummy 🙂 a question, I dont have the paddle
    so I will try to make the buttercream with regular whisk attachment.
    fingers crossed!

  12. how do you get your butter that soft? room temperature doesn’t seem to be
    high enough here. also, people always associate cupcake icing with being
    “too sweet”. Will reducing the amount of icing sugar affect it’s texture or
    anything?

  13. hi, the buttercream looks amazing. I have tried to make it, but when I
    tasted it I felt the sugar in my mouth. I mean the structure of the sugar
    in the cream. It didnt dissolve in the butter.

    What can I do to make the sugar completely dissolve? Can I heat the butter
    with the sugar together on stove and then whisk it?

  14. With this amount of buttercream, how many cupcakes (approximately) would it
    ice with a classic swirl type? Also does the melted dark chocolate HAVE to
    be “real” chocolate with high cocoa content or can standard chocolate chips
    work?

    Hi jemma I don’t have a mixer: ( but I really want to bake 

  17. Hi Jemma (or anyone that can answer) I love your videos! I was just
    wondering whether it’s better, when making icing of any sort, to mix it for
    a shorter or longer amount of time? Thank you!

  18. Your very accurate would you mind if you already haven’t done it a santa
    claws cupcake and when yo bite into it all red candy comes out

  19. This is really helpful, I’m always trying to look for a good icing recipe
    and I have finally found it

  20. How much I put of hot water into the dot chocolate?

  21. Jemma i loved the recipe!!
    

  22. Hi Jemma..are u using unsalted or salted butter?

  23. More long distance plzzzzzZ

  24. Hi jemma does it matter about what sort of chocolate you use
