Patissland Tip for the #2D Tip

The regularity of the pattern depends primarily on the consistency of your mixture. Too soft buttercream will collapse and lose the relief of the ridges, too firm cream will partially block the outlet. 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 the piping and keep the pattern intact for several hours.
