Swiss meringue buttercream
Swiss meringue buttercream is hands down my favorite frosting, and I'm thrilled to share it with you. This silky smooth topping is more stable than American buttercream, so it holds up beautifully on cakes even in warmer weather. The egg whites bring wonderful protein to the mix, making it feel a bit more nutritious than your typical frosting. Best part? Once you master the technique, you can whip this up in under an hour and a half with ingredients you probably already have at home. It's truly become my go to for every celebration.
