Stenciling On Swiss Meringue Buttercream

Hi everyone, I just finished watching Alan Tetrault's course on Cake stenciling and he says that you cannot stencil on buttercream if it is not a crusting buttercream. Since I mainly use SMBC because it is not as sweet I was wondering if this could be done on a cake covered with SMBC that was refrigerated and the icing hard? Also can I use Royal Icing or the SMBC?


I have stenciled on SMBC several times with great results. Before the first time, I tried using butter cream and RI and the RI was the easiest to do. If you look at my cakes, the peacock cake has the stenciling on Gumpaste because I wanted the feathers to have some dimension. I also use stencils with airbrush color on SMBC.
