How do you cream an egg?
Combine the liquid fat with the sugar, salt and other flavorings (e.g. cinnamon, vanilla extract, etc) in the bowl of a stand mixer. With the paddle attachment, cream on medium speed until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, waiting until one is fully incorporated before adding the next one.
What is the creaming method in baking?

Why is my butter and eggs not mixing?
The fact is, like oil and vinegar, eggs and butter don’t mix naturally. It’s a matter of chemistry: Butter is at least 80 percent fat, while eggs contain large amounts of water. So any time you add more than a single egg to creamed butter, it’s best to do it slowly to give the mixture time to thicken and emulsify.
Can you over mix eggs?
If clumps are stubborn, egg whites are over beaten. Fix the remaining egg whites like this: Add a fresh egg white to the remaining whites in the mixer bowl and whip for a couple of seconds—just to remoisten the foam and make it supple enough to fold. Don’t overdo it or the egg whites will become over whipped again!

Why is my whipping cream not getting stiff?
1.) Using room temperature cream is the cardinal sin of whipped creamery and the number one reason for whipped cream not thickening. If it reaches above 10°C, the fat inside the cream will not emulsify, meaning it can’t hold the air particles which allow it to maintain fluffy peaks. Whip immediately!
What do you do if whipping cream won’t come out?
Warm water should help loosen the butterfat. Another issue is a congested nozzle from leftover butterfat and sugar inside of the nozzle. To fix this, just turn the can upside down with the lid on in a cup of warm water for a few minutes.
