  • Hello my pretties. Check out this super easy tutorial on how to make this super easy meringue buttercream. I love swiss or Italian meringue buttercream over american buttercream because it's less sweet and super smooth but because of the butter it makes it a great candidate for piping, frosting and filling cakes and cupcakes because it will hold it's shape and remain firm while cold. This makes it great for stacked or wedding cakes. This buttercream can be flavored or died whichever color you want and it is a cream to pipe. Check out the video for the step by step instructions. Hope you enjoy!

    You should try beating your butter first for about 3-5 mins before adding it to the meringue. It combines so much easier without the curdling. Thank you so much for this recipe.

    I just tried this recipe and it came out perfect and it tastes really good!! Don't give up, if it looks like it's not mixed keep whipping and the texture will become creamy and smooth. Thanks Janie

    YESSSS thank you!!! I only ever make Italian meringue because its not too sweet, but it literally has to whip for an hour and a half in my little kitchen aid to cool down. And when I'm making 3 tier wedding cakes along with 2 dozen cupcakes that need 3 or 4 batched of icing it feels like the icing is taking my whole life! I am so excited to use this recipe for the cake I have this week!

    • @JaniesSweets
      @JaniesSweets  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yayyy I'm so glad you found this recipe!! Its literally a life saver... can I give you a tip for the Italian buttercream that I learned... i do this especially when it's hot here and the meringue takes forever to cool... once the meringue forms stiff peaks even when its pipping hot I place the mixing bowl in the fridge for 5 mns when it comes out it's cool to the touch n I can add the butter 😁

    You are my Hero. I have tried and tried so many buttercream failures. They came up too sweet, too gritty, and so much time and money wasted. But you nailed it. I was nervous so only did a half the recipe but it was a winner. Silky smooth, not too sweet and I followed all your tips. Thank you so much. I will never try another buttercream recipe again. This is by far the best recipe ever. One more thing...this should come with a warning. Don't lick the spoon or you may find that before you know it a cup of this buttercream will slowly go missing. Yep into my tummy😛

      Spent all day trying to doctor this recipe and eventually 5 hours later...more meringue powder lots more icing sugar cooling in fridge and beating it to death it finally came together but honestly not sure how much more of anything I added...added pinch of salt a few times so it wouldn't taste too sweet with all the icing sugar I added...so this is NOT a fool proof recipe...sorry to say.

    Hi Janie, a few questions here:
    -How much of this frosting would i need to decorate a 7inch and 8 inch layer cake?
    -Your recipe here is enough for what size cake?
    -Also because this frosting is more fluffy can it support layers as far as pipping in between them ?, will it hold up well?
    -And is it stiff enough to ice a whole cake and stay?
    - is any meringue powder brand ok to use?

    • @JaniesSweets
      @JaniesSweets  5 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Hi there thank you for your questions...
      1. I can fill and frost a 8inch cake easily with this no problem
      2. Yes it will stay in place necuse of the butter in it however it does not crust over so at room temp it will be a lot softer than regular american buttercream so I wouldnt recomend this in the heat unless you want to add vegetable shortening instead of butter
      3. I want to say any brand meringue powder will work but I have only used Wilton brand so I cant confirm
      Hope that helps...

These answers just settled all those issues. I'm excited to try this recipe. Any recommendation on the ratio of butter to shortening to get a crusting recipe; 1 1/2 c butter to 1/2 cup shortening or 1 cup butter to 1 cup shortening?

    Hello I love the simplicity of this recipe! I have been making I.T buttercream for years now but i literally can’t stand to only use half the egg and just waste the product like that so this alternative recipe is AMAZING!
    I did try this recipe and did succeed, However, the taste is very tangy it worlds great if I tell people is Cream cheese But I would love to hear any tips on removing that tangy taste. I do use Wilton brand Meringue powder and un salted butter.
    Hope you hear from you soon, thank you!

I tried your recipe and it tastes really good. I love it. However, when I try to ice my cakes they don’t look smooth(they have bubbles) and some parts the buttercream doesn’t stick to my cakes. The consistence of the buttercream is really good, but I don’t know what happens.

      It sometimes take upwards of 15 mns just keep mixing... 99 percent of the problems with this buttercream can b fixes by just continuing mixing

    it looks like you added confectioners sugar..is that because it won't be a grainy buttercream when you finish? Also, if it's confectioners sugar you used, do you add more (3 cups) than you would if it were done the original way ( 1 cup). I'm asking because you said you didn't want a sweet buttercream..and that is what I want, a less sugary buttercream?

    • @JaniesSweets
      @JaniesSweets  6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Samsonian hey love... yes that is confectioner sugar and yes 3 cups is correct... the reason being is because granulated sugar will never dissolve unless heat is applied to it... and it will remain grainy... this buttercream does come out less sweet than regular AMERICAN buttercream... its comparable to the same sweetness as Italian or swiss MERINGUE buttercream... just less work which is why I like it... hope that helps 😚

    • @JaniesSweets
      @JaniesSweets  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      rara0723 I actually find that american buttercream holds the best under heat... this will NOT hold very well in extreme heat... it MUST be kept at room temperature or below because it has all butter in it... if you use half butter and half vegetable shortening it will hold better but still not as good as American buttercream.... that being said you can use it under fondant n even if it gets a bit warmer the fondant wool hold it... but if you're making like a rosette cake for example it will start to lose it's shape after a while In extreme heat... I hope that helped 😘

I also made sure that the butter was soft enough - but not too soft when I put it into the meringue. I whipped for an hour and a half and it still didn’t form - it looked soupy and curdled - I even put it into the fridge a couple of times. It is sitting in the fridge right now.
