I tried the higher rated whipped cream (using gelatin) and I didn't notice any difference, to be honest... So, how do I keep my whipped cream stiff and from deconstituting quickly?

Does piping (just a border) squish all the air out of it?

I bought some fresh cherries and I'm planning on putting that on top of a chocolate cake then decorated with whipped cream. Yum!

What percentage fat is you whipped cream. I have found it needs to be at least 38-40 percent fat to be stable, even with gelatin.

I have tried using the gelitin but it failed due to me of course. But I was succesful by putting some piping gel into the whipped cream. I think I got the ida from here or the internet some where by doing a google.

wilton's recipe for stabilized whipped cream is adding piping gel. when you whip 1 cup of heavy cream, add two tbsp of piping gel, plus hte 2 tbsp PS and flavoring. i haven't tried it yet, but im doing a wedding cake this weekend with mousse filling and im going to use this.
