I suggest using a generally stiff consistency, if you can. The stiffer the buttercream, the sharper the details. The basket weave on the hood is made with a very stiff royal icing while the body of the carriage was a softer Italian Meringue buttercream. Before I did this cake, I did a smaller practice cake so I would work on my technique and also so I could experiment with the buttercream to see how it works with the basketweave. If you have the time, I recommend experimenting and testing. I’ve never used the Snow White Buttercream, but I just saw a recipe for it on Wilton’s web site.

I was wondering if Snow White Buttercream Icing will do a good job with the basket weave. I'm using a Snow White Buttercream because i'm doing a Jamaican rum cake, which is a wedding cake so the Snow White Buttercream would go great with it.
