Does the italian meringue buttercream stiffen up at all like regular ol' buttercream??? I made some roses and it was super soft to work with and I was wondering if it is going to remain this soft or should I just stick the roses on immediately onto the cake??? Or should I wait.......(if it stiffens, I'd rather let it get a little more firm so I don't mess them up in the transfer) Would it work if I froze them and then put them on the cake.....or would that mess up the texture???

you could put them in the fridge for a bit to stiffen them for transfer and they will soften back up when they get to room temp.

I would suggest freeze them for about 30 minutes maybe. I've never worked with italian merengue BC personally, though.
