Howdy!

I just watched the CC video on painting buttercream (www.cakecentral.com/tutorial/61710/painted-buttercream-cake)

In the video, the decorator uses merengue buttercream.  I'm wondering if it's possible to do this on any crusting recipe or if it has to be merengue...

Thanks!

You can.  Just us a light touch and make sure your buttercream is completely set or the brush will leave dents.  It is really fun to do!
