Swiss Meringue ButtercreamBy BeanzSilky, smooth, delicate swiss meringue buttercream is the best there is. Made with egg whites and granular sugar makes it much less sweet than traditional american buttercream and much more stable. The secret to getting the beautiful gloss in this buttercream is to fully dissolve your sugar into your egg white gradually and whip your egg whites to the perfect stiff consistency before adding your butter. This buttercream definitely requires patience so if you are impatient, you may find this to be a bit of a challenge! But, the end result is completely worth it! This recipe makes enough to frost a two layer 9 inch cake or approximately 2 dozen cupcakes.
