Do you have to keep the Italian, French & Swiss buttercreams refrigerated? Are they good fro piping decorations? Never made any and was wanting to venture out. Any advice would be appreciated!
TIA,

If it's not thick enough the best way to thicken it is to let it rest in a cool (70ish) room.

I use italian meringue buttercream quite a bit. You really ought to refrigerate it until within 2 hours of eating, preferably less. It pipes just fine. The only thing is that it's more sensitive to warm hands. I tend to have that problem by the time I get to the last in the tube and it turns the frosting a different color
