Swiss Meringue Buttercream Demystefied
I don't know about you, but the only buttercream I've made myself is the standard mix of icing sugar and butter, and I'm not even very adventurous with that... I use the recipe on the back of the icing sugar box! And goodness me, the mess that it makes... clouds of icing sugary dust everwhere! I've heard about Swiss Meringue Buttercream (I think I saw it on the Great British Bake Off) but it sounded a bit complicated....so, you can imagine how delighted I was when I came across this amazing Sweetapolita tutorial! Now I'm really, REALLY tempted to try it for myself as it sounds (and looks!) delicious!

I made this a couple of weeks ago, from the exact recipe as given by sweetapolita as i did a ruffle cake as she has done - admittedly, compared to normal buttercream, this does seem rather heart-attack inducing - to cover the cake as she has above she says to use 15 egg whites, and just over 4 blocks of 250g butter, along with quite a bit of sugar! but the effect is fabulous, it is so silky and completely different texture to normal buttercream, and it really is quite easy to make. highly recommended for special occasions - and her blog is definitely worth a look, the cakes are all so pretty!
