What is bettercream? I've never heard of that.

I don't know the consistency of bettercreme but if it is not stiff enough just add some powdered sugar and you should be fine. You need it to be stiff so it won't slide around on you and ruin your gorgeous cake.

When I ice with bettercreme, I always use it for the dam. No problems.
