Patissland Tip for the #1M Tip

The consistency of your mixture is key to pattern regularity. Too soft buttercream will collapse and lose the ridged relief, while too firm cream partially blocks the tip opening. Aim for a ribbon-like texture on the spatula. For whipped creams, add 2 g of mascarpone or gelatin per 100 g of cream to stabilize piping and keep the pattern intact for several hours.
