Best Answer

Powdered (confectioner's) sugar is a basic ingredient to cream cheese frosting. Substitutions such as granulated table sugar, brown sugar or honey will not produce acceptable cream cheese frosting. In a pinch, it may be possible to process granulated white sugar in a blender or food processor until very fine. Then add a tablespoon of corn starch to each cup of very finely processed sugar to approximate powdered sugar.

Buttercream frosting is not cooked, so there is no need to use the stove. However, without powdered (confectioner's) sugar, there will be no buttercream, because that is the key ingredient.

What can be a substitute for butter cream?

There is no substitute for sugar when making butter-cream frosting. However if you use melted chocolate your frosting will still work, it'll just be a little different. Butter-cream frosting cannot be made without sugar. Melted chocolate will not produce a butter-cream frosting, but will produce chocolate spread over a cake.

What is the difference between using butter or shortening in frosting?

Butter will always taste better than shortening in frosting. However, butter will give the frosting a pale yellow tint, which can be a problem if a cake must be white or a pale pastel color. Butter also will melt at a lower temperature than shortening, causing the frosting to be less stable in warm weather.

If my buttercreme frosting has a yellow tint to it How can you dye it white?

Buttercream frosting or icing naturally has a cream colour from the butter in it. The more air beaten into it, the paler it will be, and the softer it will be. The yellow colour of pure butter is naturally stronger if the cows producing the milk are grass fed rather than grain fed. If a pure white frosting or icing is wanted, do not use butter or make a buttercream, but the creamy flavour will be missing.
