Oh yes - buttercream is way more difficult that gumpaste.  You have to get the buttercream consistency just right.

Well, not only have I purchased my own gum paste kit, I've bought half of wilton`s gadgets for cake decorating. Damn, I wish I could sell cakes too.

Yes you are right! But if you are a cake decorator you really is a patient person or else you can't create a beautiful cake....

I am baking a cake for my second wilton class tonight. I'm making my signature lemon cake with a creamy raspberry filling. I have two recipes for the filling but with my ankle (and walking A LOT yesterday) I don't feel like standing up and messing with it much. So I've kind of adapted the recipe to fit my current situatuon.

My question is, will this work?
1 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 8oz of cream cheese, 1/4cup of raspberry jam. I'll just cream them together and have a quick version of my normal stuff.

Do my amounts seem ok?

depending on the jam , if it makes it loose & runny you may have to add more sugar !or maybe more jam !, taste it ! but it does sound good

Thank you. I'm not usually good at coming up with my own recipes but, I figured this should work and it's easily modified if it comes out too runny or lacks flavor.
