  • I’ve been told it’s a slightly thicker version of whipped cream, what do you think? Ive been looking for a buttercream that is close to whipped cream but stable, I’ve also been told ermine is, and I like how ermine isn’t too sweet, but I’m wondering which one do you thing is more whipped cream like, sweeter, and better, ermine or Russian, unless there’s another one you’d suggest.
