Thank you soo much!  I previously used viva towels or a hot spatula to smooth buttercream, but based on feedback I received from Sugar Pixy, I used a hot spatula, viva towels and computer paper to achieve the sides.  I'm really awful with impression mats!  So I piped over it to give it that gabled look!

Hey Faith, I love the smoothness of your BC, I now have bc envy....lol.  How did you get your sides so even was it an impression mat?

It's a bc recipe that she has come up with that can stand up to heat without breaking a sweat. It uses cornstarch instead of merigue powder. She is actually a amember on this site and is a wonderful resource!

Faith what is Sugar Pixy's Buttercream Tropical? I do use Hi ratio like it better than crisco..

My regular bc frosting is butter, shortening, flavouring and powdered sugar. For this particular cake, I used my bc as the filling and used a different bc to ice it.  To ice it I used Sugar Pixy's Buttercream Tropical with hi-ratio shortening, water, flavouring, and powdered sugar.  This one can really stand up to the island heat.
