Can I Use Different Frosting For Crumb Coat?
Decorating By redreba Updated 20 May 2017 , 12:41pm by -K8memphis
So I had some leftover american style buttercream (with butter and high ratio shortening) that I used to crumb coat my cake. But I'd like to use a Swiss meringue buttercream for the final layer of frosting. Think that would be a problem?
Thanks in advance!
Are you filling it with the SMB or the AB? I would think that doing the AB in the center and crumb coat and then the SMB might have a taste difference that's noticeable. I could be wrong since I don't know that I've ever had SMB. lol
Yep, it will be fine.
I always do the thinnest layer (more like a smear really) for crumb coating and I always use the same icing that I filled with to do it as I make sure to fill in any gaps around the edges between layers that might have occurred during filling at the same time.
If it's just that thin layer, you probably won't have any issues.
