I feel like I keep coming here with basic "duh-logic" questions, but I'm doing a wedding cake soon and want to get it right!
Is crusting buttercream what I want to use when I dirty ice before applying fondant?
Can I use crusting buttercream as a filler between layers? This seems like the easiest and safest thing to do for my first big cake (3 tiers)...
Yes you can use a crusting buttercream for a crumb coat/dirty ice and as a final coat and as a filling.
The only difference between a crusting and a non-crusting buttercream is that one forms a crust on the outside when it drys and one doesn't. People use a crusting buttercream when using the Viva method to smooth their cakes. HTH and good luck!
I use crusting buttercream almost all the time as my fillings. I don't have to worry about making an extra batch of anything and there's no need to refrigerate. Best of both worlds. =)
