What was the most difficult thing for you when preparing the fillings

When I just started preparing this cream fillings at first .I was having I usually faved some challenges to cream well .Especially when I was using a hand mixer at times I see looms in the mixture. When I discovered i do not cream it to have a texture needed .I started creaming my filling well without facing some difficulties. At times I be in a haste and just estimates the ingredients .At the end of the day it does not give me what I really want .But when I concentrated taking the right measurements I experienced good result in my fillings.

What additional ingredients can be added to give a good look.

For me edible pastry colors can be added to give you a good look .Depending on what you want .For example you can add edible blue , yellow, red colors etc . With edible bits or strawberry or mixed fruits on it In fillings to give you a beautiful unique look .At times when I want to decorates my cup cakes with my creame fillings I will read and white . ![B5FC830C-B9D5-451E-A678-03677BC4657A.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXzsnX6J45UBsEGzBfKETqbnrwdd5p3NmHBVKkxqnGu3V/B5FC830C-B9D5-451E-A678-03677BC4657A.jpeg)|![FAE1065E-560B-4CD6-9E9C-4203739C45E9.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcCvBYpjuXCVXGa1CSHZr88E62tbEpjLyLZkfoiuXZisf/FAE1065E-560B-4CD6-9E9C-4203739C45E9.jpeg) - | - | This gives me beautiful and exceptional outstanding taste and look .
