Hi guys!
I finally started my part time job with a cake bakery in town. I was so excited to be there. MAN...are they busy! I had no idea how much business she brings through her doors.
Somethig I noticed today was that her buttercream does not crust. It also smoothes like a dream. She does not share her recipe and there are only a couple of folks there that know it.
It had a very faint ivory tint to it so I guessing she used a good bit of butter and possibly cream instead of water or milk. Any ideas as to what she can be doing? I know there are some pros here and I would like any tips if ya'll are willing to share. The buttercrea, that I normally use crusts and after using hers today, I'm hooked.
Thanks!
Wanda
Congrats on your new job!! Glad to hear you like it...let us in on any secrets you find out!!!

She's probably a "closet" SugarShack'er!!
And that's why she doesn't want to share her secret!
But do watch and learn! Wow, sounds like you are in a great job!!
its probably italian meringue buttercream....thats what I use...it doesnt crust....and smooths really well....does she use hot water or just a cold spatula to smooth??
I buy my icing from a lady in town who manufactures the best BC I've ever tasted. (Dixie's Finest Whipped Icing) It doesn't crust, either. I know that part of the process involves cooking some ingredients. If you keep adding more powdered sugar it will finally crust.
No...it's not IMBC or SMBC...this I certain. She makes 2 or 3 large batches and they sit out in the open all day. It was just really creamy and smooth and that's why I wondered about the cream.
Anyway, thanks and I will let you guys know any secrets that I learn.

What's a closet SugarShack'er? I'm still trying to catch onto some of the lingo on here
Congrats on your new decorationg job.
I wonder what kind of buttercream it is. Keeps us informed of any recipes or techniques that might be useful to us in the future.
Ejoy.
Congratulations on your new job!!! Hope you love it and learn lots of stuff!! I was going to say that with the colour it was probably SMBC or IMBC but if it's not, then I don't know....but it does sound like it has the properties of them...
Let us know ..I'm curious.
Good Luck!!!
