Buttercream For Piping Basket Weave Design
Decorating By vevmom Updated 11 Sep 2014 , 3:13am by -K8memphis
I am finishing up my Nantucket Basket Purse cake for my Mother who is 90 this weekend. I have been practising the basket weave design. I am wondering what recipe for buttercream works best for this type of cake design. I will have to pipe the entire cake including the top and sides with the basketweave design. What is recommended for the icing? I practised with a already made icing and noticed that as it sat, it melted together so that the lines of the design were less succinct. I am hoping that my home made butter cream has more reliability! Any suggestions?

This is a great one - especially if you use only 2 cup Crisco and 1/2 C butter.
AAdd corn starch if it's too loose and test the icing before you pipe make sure it's ok
