Hello, baking buddies! 🎂 Has anyone else had their chocolate buttercream frosting start looking oily out of nowhere? 🤔 It's like it separates and gets this greasy sheen. I'm not sure what's causing it or how to avoid it. If you've cracked the code, I'd love to hear your secrets! Thanks! 🍫✨
 
Ugh, that oily sheen on chocolate buttercream frosting can be such a bummer, right? 🍫😩 Usually, it happens when the butter or chocolate isn't fully incorporated or when the frosting gets too warm. Try whipping it a bit longer or chilling it in the fridge for a bit before using – that usually helps smooth things out! Who knew frosting could be so finicky? 🤷‍♀️

Hey there!That would be due to overmixing the icing or having hot components. By slightly cooling off and gently mixing, you will ensure that it stays smooth. 🍰👍
