I use stiff buttercream for my grass and never have any problems with it melting :) Goodluck!

so you mean you add more sugar to it? so it won’t melt?

I use stiff buttercream. I don’t like cutting into royal icing on cakes unless it’s only a small decoration or a border. Yes, add more sugar (or less milk/cream depending on your recipe) to make it stiffer. Good luck!

Thank you!!!

Neddo – knowing the climate you’re in, I would say it’s safe for you to use a stiff buttercream (try an American Crusting Cream).

In hot weather I use a combo icing. 1/2 crusting BC with meringue powder added, 1/2 royal icing. :0)

sorry but i don’t understand what’s the BC?

-- Nadine A.

BC is short for buttercream :)

I recommend using a stiff buttercream – royal icing gets way too hard!

Personally I use a stiff BC and the grass tip but I have also spread it on flat then used a spatula and tapped the BC like tacking to make small peaks. It looks pretty good. Not as good as the grass tip but still ok.
