How do I make whipped cream for decorating a cake? Does it hold up for decorating with it and does it need to be kept in the fridge at all times?

Hi Adriana,

You can stabilize whipped cream by using this little trick, increasing the recipe as needed for your cake size:

* Soften 1 teaspoon unflavored gelatin in 1 tablespoon of cold water for 5 minutes.

* Heat until the gelatin melts (microwave for 30 seconds on high, check then repeat if necessary).

* Add to 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whisking until gelatin and cream are well blended. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

* Add 2 tablespoons of powdered sugar, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and beat with electric mixer until cream is thick and holds its shape. It will thicken even more as it sets in refrigerator. Will hold for 2-3 days.
