I made a cake for a customer and she wants to reorder from me but wants to know if I have something less sweet (Used a buttercream equal butter and crisco). She really likes whipped cream frosting. But she wants it super smooth, so I was thinking I would "viva" or "melvira" it...

So my questions are:

1)Is there a crusting whipped cream frosting?

2)If so, does anyone wan to share their recipe?

3)If not, is there a Whipped Cream Buttercream that crusts?

4)If so, does anyone have a tired and true recipe they would like to share?

5)Or any other ideas woudl be great!!!!

TIA

I wonder if adding meringue powder to a whipped cream icing would work???

I don't know of a crusting whipped cream, but I do know that it works really well with a hot knife. Smooth it out as much as possible, then dip your knife in really hot water, making sure to dry off ALL the water, then go over it. It makes it super smooth.

You might want to suggest SMBC which is definitely less sweet and very creamy and smooth tasting.....reminds me of whipped cream because of the high fat content...
You can easily make it glass smooth by putting it in the freezer for about 10 minutes and then scraping it smooth with a bench scraper...works like a charm...I use that method on any SMBC cakes I do..it also pipes very well.

It is great for transportation as well because you can keep it in the fridge...the icing becomes hard like butter in the fridge does...will soften in a matter of a few hours ..so just before I deliver the cake, I take from the fridge..


Just a thought...always trying to promote SMBC..lol

I'm sorry but what is SMBC?

I have a question about SMBC. Can it be made a couple of days ahead of time and stored in the fridge, or does it have to be used immediately after making it?

Is there a recipe out there for SMBC?
If so can someone PM me with it, I would be so greatful, I keep hearing BC is to sweet (for my Family)!?

TIA

Hi, I was reading through this. I use imbc (very yummy), but it is hard for me to keep it smooth. I just read Jane's reply about smoothing the smbc. I would really appreciate it if you would give me more details. What is a bench scraper. ? Your icing does not get too hard to manipulate after even freezing it for only 10 min? I am making a wedding cake soon and she wants smooth icing Thanks

I dont know if I am ready to make SMBC or IMBC...sounds harder than reg BC ...Does anyone know whci BC recipe taste the least sweet? It makes me laugh...all the recipes have the same ratio of sugar to fat...2 lbs sugar...2 cups fat...frosting IS SUGAR so how do they expect it not to be sweet?????
