I don't have a stand mixer, so I decided to be brave and do this using an electric hand mixer instead. It took about 45 minutes of whisking for it to finally form peaks! After about 25 minutes, I decided to add 5/8 tsps of cream of tartar, and it worked super well at helping the peaks to form! This buttercream was super delicious, and sooo fluffy and smooth! Thanks for the great recipe! 😊

I've tried both, your Swiss and the Italian.... and my favorite by far was the Italian. I'm new at this and had a hard time getting the Swiss to thicken today and even after it finally did... it kinda wanted to go flat after I had made the dollops. I salvaged it by adding powdered sugar. The Italian, however, retained it's shape, and the taste and texture was so worth all the effort. I'll be so glad when I get past all these learning curves. Maybe it's the editing, but you make all this appear quick and easy. It took me nearly all day to make one of these 3 layer cakes as you do... it turned out gorgeous btw. It's for a friends 85 birthday this weekend.

I will try the Italian one as soon as I get a candy thermometer. :) Talking about frostings, I was wondering if you're familiar with the German buttercream, a.k.a. Ermine icing. It's basically a thick vanilla pudding whipped up with butter. My mouth starts watering just as I'm writing about it. Please try if you're not familiar, it's divine. :)

Do you have any tricks for getting very smooth frosting and sharp edges. I use an icing smoother and turntable and crumb coat like you but can’t get my BC to frost as smoothly as your beautiful cakes. I know practice makes perfect. Any tricks?

Preferably all covering/frosting should be done the previous day. This way everything can set, cool throughly and retain its shaper better for a longer time. Plus, it also gives you etra time to touch up on small mistakes or in case something falls/breaks off. Buttercream frosting such as this, depending on weather conditions, can hold up to two hours in a shadowy, dry spot. Of course, if you'rein SoCal mid August or NEw Dehli during monsoon season, you might want to keep that cake safely in a fridge.

John, I just can't seem to get it right. This is my third attempt and they have all gone the same. Meringue forms great, but when I add the butter it starts to curdle when I'm almost done. I can fix it by putting it over the bain marie again, only for it to create a lot of bubbles and a weird consistency 10 minutes later. In all, it never comes out as a smooth consistent buttercream. I don't know what to do! I do make sure everything is room temp and there is no fat or yolk in the meringue. Help!

Edit: He makes it look very easy, but Swiss meringue buttercream is actually very difficult to perfect. I'd recommend the Italian Buttercream as it holds it's shape better and is a bit more forgiving. (And I just *love* Italian Buttercream) When your butter ia room temp, are you adding it bit by bit, and are you waiting till the previous piece has been almost fully mixed in? And has the Swiss meringue cooled completely and been mixed to semi stiff peaks? Did you cook the sugar mixture till completely smooth? Have you tried mixing it for far longer than you think you should, it's okay to over mix, you can't rly over mix froasting. Sry, these are some of the most common mistakes people make so I'm just pointing them out now. Hope this helps, and if not, just leave a reply telling me at which step it seems to go awry. Have a nice day. 😊

@@prosperosmoon Thank you so much for the detailed reply! The only thing I may be doing wrong is the butter not being "fully" at room temp. I do leave it out for an hour or two, but perhaps it's not enough. For the rest of the steps, I do follow religiously as I've had to throw out these meringues before after 20 minutes of holding the hand mixer -not fun. I'll give the Italian buttercream a try the next time around. Cheers!

You’re stopping before it’s finished, you have to go past the curdle stage. Once all your butter is in you can hold bags of frozen peas or likewise and keep beating it with the paddle. It will come together

@@user-np1yb2yn2w The one time it curdled the most I fixed it by putting it back over the bain Marie. How can I differentiate if it needs heat or cold?

I did everything he said in the video. My buttercream looks gorgeous and silky, however I find it very buttery. Does Swiss meringue buttercream taste like this?

Mine tasted like that as well

Let.it rest in the fridge a couple of days..and then let it be back to regular temperature ...mix a little for consistency...those couple of days in the fridge bring the flavor to the maximum

Yay I have watched a lot of your videos. We have a new baby so I made a devils food cake with this frosting..... Delicious! First time making a cake from scratch top to bottom. Thanks to your awesome videos.

Your my favorite KZbinr for my go to buttercreams!!! Love your videos..i made the Swiss meringue buttercream a week ago and it came out perfectly 👌..did it yesterday and I guess I had the fire too high while I was dissolving the sugar in the egg whites and it already started rising as it was still on the fire in the water bath...i had to take it off the fire while it was still grainy and the sugar did not dissolve properly..bummer! Like my grandfather always told me..practice makes perfect 👌 I WILL ACHIEVE THE PERFECT SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM!!!😉👍

Is swiss buttercream the safest meringue to serve to guests since it is cooked to 160 degrees?

Just wondering, which do you like better, Italian or Swiss M B?

Preppy Kitchen I just made your Italian MB two weeks ago. I made a double batch and froze it. When I took it out and and brought it to room temp and re whipped it, it came out beautiful. Now that I have seen your Swiss MB, I will try that one to see which is easier to make and taste. Thank you for your video instructions! I have learned so much from you. Thank you again,

Quick question: Could I cover my cake in Italian or Swiss buttercream and then put a ganache drip on top? Or would the buttercream start melting or disintegrating because of the heat of the ganache? Thank you X
@meddler25 жыл бұрын
Hello, totally. Make sure you chill your cake and the ganache is room temp not hot when doing the drip

Hi! I made this today. It was my first attempt at a meringue buttercream. I was very nervous because I'm not good with meringue, but it came out wonderfully! Thank you!
