Hi all,
Firstly, absolutely fascinating reading all the tips and techniques for perfecting buttercream. I have massively improved by realising that beating the butter alone first is very key, and ensuring slow and steady emulsification but I often get stumped and fail when adding any extras to the buttercream. I most often seem to split it.
Any tips on how to properly add fresh fruit (in my case raspberries) to the buttercream without getting splitting (see photo)? I wonder whether mascerating with a little sugar first and straining that liquid off would help.
Many thanks,
Scott
