@ Elizabeth: yes, I agree. In UK English I think we'd say softened butter or creamed butter rather than butter cream.
"Mantequilla en pomada" is "room-temperature butter", not "butter cream". I agree with Wendy; it's a decoration made of room-temperature butter, etc.
Wendy Streitparth Oct 10, 2016:
Not "a decoration used for dishes with butter cream and meat extracts", but a decoration using butter cream and meat extracts .... Sería màs lògico, no?

Many thanks, Carol. Haven't 'seen' you around for a while - or have I not been so active?
agree Robert Carter : My first thought too on seeing this, particularly since it reads "en pastelería con mantequillas y cremas finas".

Piping/drizzle

Sometimes "drizzle" might be more appropriate than "piping", though it would largely depend on what's being drizzled/piped!
