Some one posted that they use Raspberry Jam in their buttercream. How much? and will it make the buttercream too sweet? It sounds so good. Maybe it was Raspberry mousse. If anyone know could you please post it or PM me. Thanks.

i've done it before, and it was okay. i much prefer mixing in a sleeve filling with my bc, i feel like i get a better rasp flavor. i just mixed until i felt like i had a good ration, i didn't measure, sorry!

I don't like mixing either jam or sleeved fillings into my b/c. I feel that by the time you can taste the flavor, the buttercream is too sweet and thinned out. (JMHO.)

What I do is put down a layer of b/c and then spoon the jam or sleeved filling over it. This was the contrast flavor is more concentrated and the cake when sliced looks very festive with two-tone filling.
