I think it is a particular kind of frosting called chantilly cream, which is basically whipped cream lol, it looks so stable though doesn’t it?

Hello, I forgot that the 3rd video is continued in the 4th one below. Just in case you want to see the whole thing here it is. Each video has maybe 3 cakes. they show it piped at beginning then show how they do the whole cake. Same as before. Do you think it is buttercream? Thanks/Mary

Hello, wanted your opinion of what these two you tube video is using when he pipes out the animals. He has 4 different videos but am just copying two so you can maybe look at and tell me if you think they are using whip cream or buttercream. What is your opinion on this. Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it very much.

Hi Mary, I actually don’t know what causes this but I’ve had it happen a couple times too. It might have something to do with the extra fat from the pb in the frosting making it a bit too slippery. As far as what to do about it, maybe try doing a thinner coating of frosting. lol, which is of course hard to gauge because we can’t see how thick it is on the cake.
Sorry I couldn’t be more help! And thank you for your continued prayers!!

Hello, Hope all is well with you and the family. I have a question. I made the chocolate cake with peanut butter icing. Not every time but a few times I notice the icing in small spots on top edge sides of cake will not stick. Once I try to smooth in that top side spot it is if the icing rubs off and you can see the cake part. I have never seen this happen with white or yellow cakes but only on chocolate ones. This does not happen every time.
What in your opinion do you think would cause this to happen? Other times the icing sticks perfectly. Do you have any suggestions on what I do wrong when this happens? Thanks, I value your opinion greatly!! I along with others miss seeing you do cakes. My prayers are with you and your family!!! Keep your faith in Jesus!!! He will never leave you nor forsake you Thanks for your reply/Mary

At 77, 78 in Feb I have been decorating cakes for a few years but very simply. Your web site has driven me, in a frenzy to start using butter cream. brilliant. You seem to have been unwell I hope you are better now.
