Thanks Jeannette. Piping is fun! Though I can see how it could frustrate me if I want everything to looks perfect. But as others have said, practice practice. I would need to find excuses to do a cake with BC, .

Very professional looking, Jenn.  Did you have fun doing them?

Thanks Annie! Yes it’s very fun. I want to do more of it and try different shapes! By the way, I used the organic Unbleached All Purpose Flour and could not noticed the textural difference with cake flour. It’s like you said, unless I compare side by side it’s not noticeable. So I’m a believer now.

Looks great Jenn! They look very Martha Stewart-ish. 

Lovely, Jenn, I like your piping styles!  It’s so nice to see the color and texture of this buttercream, it can hold the most chocolate of any of Rose’s BCs.

Thanks Rozanne and Julie. IT IS amazing how much chocolate is required, I actually did a double-take when I saw the recipe.

Jenn, these cupcakes are beautiful! Newbie…. hah!

Can’t wait to get back in my kitchen.

I completely agree with Rozanne… very Martha-ish.  I love them!  How did you like the chocolate egg white buttercream?  I thought it was pretty good.

Thanks Silke and Patricia!
Patricia - I love the buttercream. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness and chocolate, and a great flavor combo with the cupcake. Not too sweet altogether at all. It pipes beautifully too! I like the shade of brown. I’m curious to see if this buttercream will go well with white cupcakes? Would it overpower the taste?

Patricia and Jenn (and anyone else who has made both), how does the chocolate egg white bc compare to Bill’s bc?

Patricia and Jenn (and anyone else who has made both), how does the chocolate egg white bc compare to Bill’s bc?

Hmmm, it’s hard for me to compare them without having a sample of each side by side.  From memory I can say Rose’s egg white is a bit faster to make… might be a bit more firm too.  I really like the flavor of Bills, but I haven’t made it in quite a white so I don’t know if I like it better than the new one or not.  Bill’s might be a tad lighter in color, but then again… not positive on that.

Julie - I haven’t made Bill’s BC, so I’m afraid I can’t comment.
