Patissland Tip for Wilton Tip #4B
The consistency of your buttercream affects the regularity of the star pattern. Too soft a cream loses the relief of the grooves, too firm a cream partially blocks the grooves. Aim for a texture that holds a ribbon on the spatula. For whipped creams, add 2 g of mascarpone per 100 g of cream to stabilize the piping.
