Just have to have a little patience 😉

[@terigraves9361]

Very cool!!! Never knew this...thank you!!

[@CakingatMidnight]

Happy to help 💜😊

[@cherisemartis3436]

Do you put it a litlte bit in the refrigerator before?

[@CakingatMidnight]

Hey! Sometimes yes and only if the buttercream is sticking to the paper towel too much. But don't leave it in too long or your buttercream will be too hard. Try 5 min and if too tacky do another 5 minutes.

Hi I love your channel can we use normal kitchen paper towel. London 🇬🇧

[@CakingatMidnight]

Hi 👋👋 so glad you enjoy the channel! You can use any paper towel that doesn't have a pattern on it

[@wendyyoung7136]

What is the depth of pan do you use.

[@CakingatMidnight]

I use 2" pans

[@joanngentsch7087]

Can you any buttercream like a Swiss meringue or a Italian meringue?

[@CakingatMidnight]

I don't know why I am just now seeing this comment!! I do apologize!! I have never used those 2 types of buttercreams with the viva method so I don't know if the viva will work on them

[@evelynsplawn80]

Can I use parchment paper or wax paper instead of the paper towel?

[@CakingatMidnight]

That is a very good question! I haven't tried either one of those so I am not sure.... But now curious!

[@tanjeeesters2068]

Do you freeze it before you smooth with paper towel?

[@CakingatMidnight]

No I do not. If I froze it, it would be too stiff to smooth out

[@idaliasauceda9296]

Why dose paper towel viva sticks to my frosting. How can I fix it? I I have tried powered sugar but doesn’t help.

[@CakingatMidnight]

You need to let it crust or set a bit. If you have to stick it in the fridge for 10 to 15 min 5o firm up a bit and then you should be able to sm. Oth the buttercream without it sticking
