    These are so adorable. I do have a question about smoothing with the roller. My butter cream does not crust (it does not contain shortening-all butter). Do you think I can still roll over it. If so what type of roller are you using? Thanks in advance for the advice.

    Hi Dawn– A lot of all butter (no shortening) buttercream recipes still crust over. The one that I’m using in this video doesn’t contain shortening. (It’s just a basic butter, powdered sugar, milk & vanilla recipe). You wait a few minutes after frosting and if you can touch it without the icing coming off on your finger, it is ready to roll. You can use a clean (new) high density foam paint roller. This roller method is also known as the “Melvira Method” after the lady who invented it. A quick google will give you more info on this method. ;0) It only works on crusting buttercreams.
