But in a warm room, the frosting starts to droop. Most whipped frostings, including buttercream, need to be stabilized to make them more durable. Depending on how stiff you want your whipped cream, 2 tablespoons of meringue powder for two cups of heavy cream usually does the trick. For additional stabilizer, add cream cheese, cocoa, or more meringue powder.
