"Gluten-Free Buttercream Frosting ENOUGH FOR ONE 3-LAYER CAKE This frosting is not too sweet. To vary the flavor, replace vanilla with another gluten-free flavoring extract, such as lemon or coconut. 6 cups powdered sugar ½ teaspoon salt ½ cup boiling hot water 2½ cups Spectrum Organic Shortening ¾ cup (1½ sticks) butter or margarine, slightly softened, cut into 1-inch pieces 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract"

WTF?

12/2/2010 12:23:29 PM

that doesnt seem like a lot to me considering it is a three layer cake

12/2/2010 12:25:09 PM

Frosting kind of is sugar.

Unless you are Jerry Seinfeld's wife, who apparently makes cinnamon rolls with cauliflower-based glaze.

i've been making buttercream frosting for years and i've never put shortening in it

12/2/2010 12:39:41 PM

i can't believe someone would dare do something different than you

12/2/2010 12:40:30 PM

gluten free is for fags


eat that fuckin gluten

12/2/2010 12:41:40 PM

EAT THAT FUCKIN RICE

12/2/2010 12:42:15 PM

it probably isnt very sweet.


youre looking at a 1:2 ratio of shortening to sugar (and that's not including the butter!)


go eat a tablespoon of lard and 1/2 tablespoon of butter mixed with 2 tablespoons of sugar

Me either, but [hydrogenated] shortening is very commonly found in plain cheap cakes.

Of course,
the recipe calls for "Organic Shortening", which is cold-pressed palm oil, not hydrogenated GMO soybean oil (Crisco)

"Gluten-Free Buttercream Frosting [recipe]"

This is like a recipe for "gluten-free butter" or "gluten-free water".
Since when does frosting have gluten in the first place?

12/2/2010 1:24:09 PM

It's just a new buzz word. Like candy being labeled as "fat-free!"

12/2/2010 1:30:47 PM

what difference would GMO soybean oil make from native soybean oil?

im just...curious. I mean what is the purpose of this gene, as you see it?

12/2/2010 1:34:34 PM

My icing recipe is granulated sugar, cornstarch cooked and whipped, and butter. Add flavoring of choice. Profit.

Yes and I'm fucking sick and tired of this fad. People on this "gluten-free" diet that aren't doing it because they have Celiac or whatever can go eat a bag of dicks

Well, it IS fat-free, dumbass. You can't get fat from candy because it doesn't have fat.

And the reason people don't want to eat Gluten is because there is sperm in it, unless you like swallowing cum, which I bet you do.

12/2/2010 2:15:14 PM

Aren't many gluten-free recipes concerned with allergies rather than self-imposed dietary restrictions? I.e. it's a matter of making cake that's edible for everyone.

12/2/2010 2:17:43 PM

In the past, yes. But it seems like in the past few months some Atkins-esque jerkwad has convinced sheeple that gluten is bad for everyone stay away from gluten!!

Frosting is disgusting and I have never made it. It is something of value? OK troll.

I use whipping cream to make whipped cream when I make cakes, but even then rarely. Whipped cream is the best. But the key is to make your cakes moist enough that they don't need anything.

Quote :

"You don't know shit about frosting, do you?"

You are right, I don't. However, it is still going to be quite sweet. Then again, that's the reason I don't eat frosting, cuz it is basically sugar (I am not even talking about health here, just the nasty taste... any more than a teaspoon is too much)

i know the thread has moved on beyond information gathering at this point, but a traditional buttercream has 3 cups of powdered sugar to one cup of butter. I've seen a lot of recipes use half butter, half shortening like many do with cookies and biscuits to improve the consistency, but fuck shortening is gross. and for that matter, it's probably better to eat the traditional sweet icing than slather your cake with 50% more fat. I'm assuming this recipe really makes enough to frost two cakes.


in defense of frosting, its a great way to add another flavor to your cake without conflating whatever flavor the cake is, like adding a flavored syrup would. and it keeps the cake from drying out. I prefer to fill mine with pastry cream instead of frosting though.

I've got to get the whisky so i can make whisky frosting to go with my chestnut cake. I make one the layers drunken too, helps with the moisture



zucchini has no flavor, thats the point

^^^ well, i remember the sheet cakes at the dining hall at NCSU. and various cakes and cupcakes from several bakeries. don't they make their own frosting?

anyway, my point was that it is stupid to say something is "not too sweet" when it is at least 65% sugar by volume and probably 75% sugar by weight.

thread over.

12/3/2010 12:11:48 PM

Naw, most commercial icing is the same shit that comes from a can.
