It’s a real pleasure watching Sally demonstrating these techniques. Such a professional, taking time to explain what to do and just as importantly, why it’s done that way. Even the way she dresses inspires confidence in her skills. Everything just as it should be.

Just made this for my dads birthday cake and it worked absolutely perfectly. I used the microwave method to caramelise the chocolate which was easy and the resulting frosting was perfectly smooth, firm and easily spreadable. Thanks Sally.

My go-to cupcake to make for all occasions is your chocolate cupcake recipe with swiss meringue buttercream... I'm totally doing this next time - the hardest part is going to be finding decent white chocolate!!

[@nabisabeveeabdulkadar7196]

Thanks, Sally for the recipe I have same brand of chocolate at home thinking what to do with it finally can use it

[@Tomski_19]

I have absolutely loved watching you settle into your groove over the course of these videos

[@mindfulbaking]

Tomski_19 yes yes yes, honestly, as long as your meringue isn’t warm, the butter will look weird for a bit but THEN it comes together and BAM! Deliciousness x

[@tsimkins1960]

@@mindfulbaking is absolutely right. Just keep beating it. Mine did it the the first time I made Swiss Meringue buttercream, but I just kept it going and it did come back together beautifully. I truly thought I had ruined it, but no, it just needed time. It's the only kind of icing I make anymore because it is so delicious and not tooth-achingly sweet like regular buttercream tastes to me. Now to try it with the caramelized white chocolate...

[@LytseEvi]

Also really make sure the butter is completely room temperature! Makes such a difference in it coming together

[@brendahall1119]

Yay!

[@macylehotay1425]

This looks absolutely delicious! How many cupcakes would you say this could frost?

[@demibruggink4165]

Love it!! If you are going to let the chocolate set, do you keep it in the fridge? And for how long can I keep the caramalised white chocolate? Does it even expire?

[@samirae7602]

No more boring chocolate icing!!!🥳😂

[@vacacionesbrazil7944]

I don't like white chocolate, but this looks sooo good, I'll give it a try :)

[@violaadly4215]

Looks heaven cant wait to try it 🍫 miss u jemma 😍😍

[@emmafowler7729]

This looks amazing. Can you use this technique for the white chocolate to make caramel ganache?

[@ellaallado9843]

Thank you for this recipe! 2 questions- how long do I keep beating the buttercream mixture after adding the white chocolate? And if I don’t use it immediately, can I keep it in the fridge and take it out the next day? Do I need to mix it again before using? Appreciate the clarification.

[@AussieAngeS]

Wow caramelised white chocolate buttercream 😍 I would eat that out of a bowl haha

[@CupcakeJemma]

Totally fine! 👍🏻

[@mindfulbaking]

Go for it

[@melissadiaz1629]

hey Sally. love this recipe. can this be made with normal butter cream icing?

[@nataliepowell191]

I have just made this and it is DELICIOUS!! First time I've ever made caramelized white chocolate and first time ever making SMBC, love it! Thankyou so much for showing this, my microwave blew up 30 seconds into melting my chocolate and so glad you showed the oven method! Lifesaver! Cake is for my daughter's 11th birthday party tomorrow so it had to be right! Thanks again xxx

[@duncanhiscock6554]

Hi Sally can you freeze the caramelized white chocolate Swiss buttercream ? Love your channel great recipes x

[@catedavis2224]

Thank you so much for the recipe, but do you guys use any other frosting than buttercream?? I'm not a big fan & looking for other suggestions. tia

[@larryroberts4257]

Hey Sally / Jemma! wonderful as always... I worked on the caramelized white chocolate. Microwaved over and over, 15 to 20sec per time for 30+ min... and it never turned pinkish / brownish... I believe you said that you microwaved for 2-3min overall... I just couldnt get it to work... I still mixed what did caramelize in the swiss merengue buttercream and it was very good though. Is it possible, I should have just kept going, microwaving and stirring? Or, is it possible that I just didnt have high enough quality white choc? I got the best chocolate that I could get at my local store, but admit it isnt as high quality as they one you used. Thank you, in advance.

[@demiluvable]

It looks so soft how is it for stacking cakes

[@justinnebrown5433]

Hello there!! Can I make this as an Italian Meringue Buttercream? If so, how much water do I put with the sugar? Thank you very much. You guys rock!!! 💕

[@hyperkiki17]

Hi Jemma quick question, how many cupcakes can this frost?

[@denijane89]

Oh my, this looks AMAZING! I so love Swiss meringue and I'm so doing this! I have a probably silly question - can you caramelize the white chocolate in a microwave?

[@CupcakeJemma]

Yup! You can get a full step-by-step on that in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3KrYXqKYtSfos0 then come back and make the Caramelised White Chocolate Swiss Meringue Buttercream! x
