  1. I know my mother, an Italian bakery owner's daughter, would only use heavy cream for whipping. She would make her big 3 tiered whipped cream cakes for special events. Everybody loved them. So, I also only use heavy cream ! 😊

  2. Here in Canada you typically have "heavy whipping cream" and "heavy cream" at the grocery store. The difference is that HWC is what's always going to be reliably available. It has 35% fat and usually contains carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, and other additives to help it whip up better. Heavy cream by comparison is far less common to see at a conventional supermarket, can be over 35% fat, and has no additives whatsoever. It is also noticeably more expensive.
