Buttercream Frosting is produced by combining together powdered sugar, vanilla, liquid and butter. It’ll be the sugars job to stabilize and add amount to the mixture. To create a thinner frosting, put milk, water or perhaps syrup; for thicker consistency, instead of butter add shortening.
Whipped Cream Frosting can stand on it’s own yet is still being blended with confectioner’s sugar along with other flavorings. Because the mixture is already fluffy, be careful not to over beat it. Once done, it has to be chilled.
Ganache, as sophisticated as it sounds is only a mix of melted semi dark chocolate with heavy cream. By altering the consistency of this combination, you may make truffles.
