whipped cream?

[Lirael]

ok im going to sound very stupid but how do i whip cream? i have thickened cream and want to make a jam and cream cake but i dont have a electric beater. i have a whisk and thats it:o so is it possible to hand whip cream?

thanks cel:wave:

You can certainly hand whip cream with a whisk - your arm will just get sore! If I am hand beating I whisk in a stainless steel bowl and have everything as cold as I can - cream, bowl etc. The cake sounds delicious!

HI Cel,
all you need is a whisk! Just whisk ans whisk and whisk and do it FAST!:thumbsup:
Just keep going until it reaches the consistency you desire. Be careful not to overbeat it as it will turn into butter:thumbsdown:
