Patissland Tip for Wilton Tip #22

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 ridges. Aim for a ribbon-like texture on the spatula. For whipped creams, add 2 g of mascarpone per 100 g of cream to stabilize piping.
