Grass
Hi everyone! Please hope you help me with this. I want to do grass on my cake, I saw lots of tutorials that shows how you pipe with the Wilton tip, but my question is: what’s better to use royal icing or butter cream? I’m afraid that if i use butter cream it will melt in the heat while the cake is outside, what would you recommend?

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)

BC is short for buttercream :)
