I know that everyone in this site says that you can not use whipped cream under fondant,but here in my region whipped cream is very popular and i can say there is no such thing like buttercream ,once i made it with wilton recipe but i can say nobody likes it!!!:(

i have used a thin layer of whipped cream as fondant cover in my one tier cakes but i never dare to use in my 2 or 3 tiered cakes.by the way,whipped cream is premade commercial product here and it only needs whipping and in my opinion( no offense to bc lovers)it is much delicious than bc!

the question is can i make it more stable to hold fondant in big cake?and will fondant melt over whipped cream icing?

thank you

AI don't think it would work? Have you tried meringue buttercreams? It's got a very silky texture and isn't overwhelmingly sweet. I would google Swiss meringue butter cream and italian meringue buttercream to get some recipes and try some

 Why don't you try making buttercream out of actual butter? Have you tried that? the wilton recipe is not buttercream..it's sugar and crisco- pretty gross. 

 

Look up an italian meringue buttercream or swiss meringue buttercream recipe on youtube or something and try that.

I put fondant flowers on whipped cream once....... lesson learnt....... the flowers melted away and the colours ran all over the place in about an hour. Not something I look forward to trying again.

Try this recipe..its a hybrid between "butter cream" (Crisco) and whipped cream, I used it under fondant and not had problems.

 

  • 2 Cups Shortening
  • 8 Cups Powdered Sugar
  • 7 oz. Heavy Whipping Cream

Cream together in that order, and you have a nice velvety, yet stable butter cream.

I'm confused. Where I come from in the States, whipped cream is taking the cream that separates from milk (and is available in cartons in the grocery store next to the milks) and whipping it, adding perhaps a tiny bit of sugar and a tiny bit of vanilla.

Non-dairy whipped cream is an oxymoron; if it is cream, it is not non-dairy.

Non-dairy whipped toppings (Bettercreme, Frostin' Pride, Cool Whip, etc.), to my knowledge, are artificial, simulating whipped cream with various oils, lethicin, water, soy protein, carabohydratae gum, etc..

Hi! Would this hybrid buttercream bleed colors?  I've used stabilized homemade whipped cream before with black and white and the black bled a little.   I need to make a checkered pattern in black and white and don't want the black color to bleed into the white :-/
