  4. Hi Anony,
    only schlagsahne works for me, the one comes in bottle melts soo fast.
    i usually refrigerate schlagsahne, so it will be cold when I work with it.I use a spatula to scrap down the sides. also when I whipp it i move my hand back-forth rund n so ..feeling funny i m explaining like a kid ;)
    but it could help you mayb . try to do it uniform...thats all i kno now
    u r motiv enough to succeed ...so all the best :)

  6. Hi Anony,
    haha anony is a nice name for u. ya sahnesteif is one powder , which also helps to prevent sahne from melting, i think its starch .
    Butter is thick so it gives firmness , actually I hav once recipe Butter cream torte where we use mainly butter for frosting.
    its tough to say wot is good becuz lots of recipes with both. why dont u pick 2 recipes and try on weekends. especially its almost winter now & naturally all r craving for sweet n fat
    c u around , good night :)
