Whipped cream frosting helps to add an attractive finish to cakes, chocolate cakes, and other pastries without the extreme sweetness that is associated with conventional buttercream. To be successful in piping whipped cream, you have to prepare it and ensure that it’s stabilized. Perfectly stabilized whipped cream can sit on the same surface for many hours without separating.

Some basic preparatory work is necessary at the beginning to ensure that your labor doesn’t go to waste after you have piped your decorations and finished your chocolate cake or any other kind of cake. With whipped cream frosting, you can add lots of beauty to cakes and all other kinds of pastries. However, there are procedures that you will follow while piping whipped cream.

Here are the steps that you should follow to pipe your whipped creams like a pro.

Step 1

Put the mixing bowl and the whisk attachment inside the freezer for about 15 minutes before you start making the frosting.

Step 2

Add about two tablespoons of powdered sugar for every cup of heavy whipped cream to stabilize it. Alternatively, two tablespoonfuls of instant pudding can also be used to achieve this goal. Also, you can add some gelatin that has not been flavored to the cream while doing the whipping. Another amazing alternative that you can use is the conventional decorator’s gel which has been proven to offer superior stabilization effects. If this is your preferred option, you should add 2 tablespoonfuls of the decorators’ gel for every cup of the cream. Remember that every stabilization option that you go for offers a different texture and flavor. You can try experimenting to find what works best for you.

Step 3

Whip the cream using the stand mixer until it has a stiff peak. Stiff whipped cream is mandatory if you are to do piping since this helps to hold the shape of the whipped cream on the cake.

Step 4

Scoop the whipped cream which has been stabilized into a bag that has been loaded in advance with a decorating tip.  The pipping bag quality should be high since this is what you will use to store the whipped cream inside the refrigerator. Store the remaining whipped cream inside the refrigerator until the time when you are ready to use it.

Step 5

Pipe your whipped cream into the cake in a manner that suits your needs. You can cover the cake completely using this whipped cream. Alternatively, you can just use it to cover the borders of the cake or write letters or draw some objects on the cake.

Conclusion

The above information provides you with detailed information about how to pipe whipped creams as the experts do. However, you should ensure that you use a piping bag that is of high quality because that is what will be holding the whipped cream until you are ready to use it.
