Question About Sugar/sparkles On Buttercream
Decorating By zookeeper8 Updated 28 Jul 2007 , 3:16am by okieinalaska
Will the large sugar crystals or sparkles melt into buttercream? I wanted to do it for a cake the day before but now I'm wondering if I should wait or even do it at all.
I would think you'd be safe. If you want, you could add the sparkles at the last possible moment. I've never had a problem with them melting into the frosting, but my frosting may behave differently than yours. Only by experimenting will you know for sure.
Be sure to crush up the sparkles in the jar before sprinkling. Otherwise you get a big chunk of plasticy sparkles in your teeth. It's kind of like chewing tinfoil. But it doesn't bother me if it's crushed up and smaller bits...and still looks pretty.
