My preferred buttercream recipe to use is this Italian Meringue Buttercream:
Vanilla Buttercream
Water 20g
Sugar 50g
Whites 45g
Butter ~150g
Vanilla TT
- Bring the water and sugar to 118C and pour into the whipping whites. When the mixture is fluffy and warm but not cool, add in the butter in small pieces until the buttercream is light, fluffy and homogenous. Add in the vanilla and mix again. *Add any other flavors at this point to suit your personal tastes*
FAQ for Palette Knife Flowers:
Q: Can you make the flowers, freeze them, and attach to the side of a cake?
A: Maybe, but I do not recommend it.
Q: Can you use something that isn't Italian Meringue Buttercream?
A: You can use any kind of stiff buttercream and probably a stable whipped ganache. I do not recommend using whipped cream or something that is vulnerable to deflating.
Q: Does it harden / Can you ship these products?
A: No and no.
