Hi! I’m in a similar position and making a wedding cake with swiss meringue buttercream in the summer. Can I ask you whether it was ok? I’m not sure whether just buttercream or swiss meringue buttercream would be better! Thanks 🙂

In your recipe you used egg whites. If I wanted to use meringue powder instead of the egg whites how much meringue powder would I use in this recipe

Hi Jane love this recipe. Just wondering is it freezable ?? I’ve seen loads on socials saying smb can be frozen ??? If so will it need re-whipping when defrosted, thank you xx

this is a bit late but have you tried cream cheese or peanut butter with icing sugar? or whipped cream, vegan butter, … ganache?

Lidl sells it next to their baking things in a plastic bottle.

The manual for my Kenwood says to only use the whisk attachment for a maximum of 3 minutes. I’m worried about ruining the motor!

My OH can’t eat butter and I’m wanting to try other frosting beyond glace, royal or fondant icing!
