Baking on Yik Yak | I can’t make any frostings or buttercream no matter what recipe I follow. It always is practically liquid and all separated. Anyone have a fullproof recipe, tips, or know what I’m probably doing wrong?

how are you softening your butter? sounds like it’s over softened or melted. if you’re softening it in the microwave it might be uneven. i microwave it at 30% power for like 5 sec, flip it over, then another 5 sec. keep in mind that movement generates heat, so i under soften it a little so it doesn’t get melty while mixing

I leave it on the counter until it’s soft but not crazy soft. So you can touch it and indent it without practically pushing your finger through it if that makes sense
