Hi,
I LOVE icing my cakes in SMBC, but I'm wondering if it's suitable for piping details like ropes and scrolls around a cake? I find that it's either really soft and when I put it in the fridge, it gets too hard.
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree and should use another b/c recipe for detail work?
Anyone have any suggestions?
I made a cake with IMBC last night and had no trouble with my roses, leaves or vines.I let it chill for about 5 min in the fridge before I piped.hth
i can manage most things with smbc, but i have real trouble with roses (though i know a lot of people on cc DO make smbc roses).
i saw a seriouscakes video where she took two cake pans filled with a layer of water (which was then frozen) and used it as her mini-freezer...i loved that idea and have used it ever since. i just fill two bags and use one while the other sits on my counter in the mini-freezer...and then when my smbc gets to soft to hold shape well, i switch bags. just make sure the metal tip is not on the frozen pan or gets clogged with too cold buttercream.
