I was thinking about making rolled buttercream icing. Can you use rolled bc the same way you use MMF? Or is the texture not like that more like regular bc?

Someone on here recently did a cake with rolled buttercream..maybe they will see this post and help you out!

Here's a link to directions for rolled buttercream.

I have use rolled buttercream, but have only used it to ice a cake.
I have never made MMF so I don't know about it.

I do not know if you can make roses and such with RB it is oily so, but if you got it thick enough I guess you could try.

I like it for covering a cake - but that is all I have used it for.

Sorry I am not more informative.

I have used RBC in a lot of cakes. I find it to tear a little easier than mmf or fondant but not too badly ..also to me it seems to "PATCH" easier...just a warm hand run over it seams it. And it tastes wonderful! But yes it handles very similar to MMF or fondant. It does turn a little shinier than fondant but still very smooth. I havent made flowers with it however I think you could possibly make simple ones if you stopped frequently or made them quickly because it would melt easily..I hope this helps!

thanks KayDay. I hated to make it for the cake I had to do for today when I wasn't sure exactly what it would come out like. I think I will give it a try though. I'm making a cake for a church dinner this weekend so that will be a good chance to play with it and see if I like it or not.

How does it taste, i too want to use it but a bit unsure, want to do chocolate.
