Well I am practicing my buttercream roses and well it would work wonderfully but for some reason the buttercream won't "hold up" it just droops down and by the time I get to making the 5 petals its basically one pile of buttercream. What is going on? Is there a certain type of buttercream I should use to make the flowers?
It needs to be stiff. Stiff like this, is you squirt some icing in your hand and rolled it around it would form a ball and not be sticky. But not so hard or stiff you can't squeeze it out of a bag.
Add more powdered sugar to the icing. If the edges of the petals get ragged add a little shortening. But no liquid.
It's a trial and error process. Hang in there.
Cakelady, That's an interesting concept of how to explain what stiff icing is. I'll have to remember that "check."
