I love the taste but don't try to do much with it. I tried to to basketweave and had to keep putting my bag into the fridge cause it got so soft. Maybe if I used the huge basketweave tip it would have worked since it would have been faster.

I also had the same problem with it going soft. I love the taste but it is more difficult to decorate with it. I keep an extra bag in the fridge so I can swap off and not have to wait for it to firm up again.

icon_smile.gif Yes, I agree. It tastes great, but it just doesn't have enough stiffness to hold up. Would love to find a recipe with the same taste, yet not such a loose texture.

Is that the recipe that she (the WBH lady) uses to decorate? I bet if you'd email her she'd give you some tips because she does a lot of decorations on her cakes!

i also found it to be really soft, so i mix it in to my regular buttercream, just alittle.

Have you ever tried putting a little meringue powder into it? Just thinking it might stiffen it up a bit. I have never tried the buttercream but I have the book.

good luck

Meringue powder will not stiffen it up.
