Reply:Oh my god. This recipe is so amazing. The person that gave it to me is a professional pastry chef. She catered an event and I HAD to get the recipe. It is so light and creamy.

It does NOT have that slight granular texture that most homemade buttercreams have.



Swiss Meringue Buttercream (Chef Parks)



8 fl.oz. egg whites

1 lb. sugar

2 oz. corn syrup

? tsp. salt

1# 2oz. unsalted butter, softened



1.Mix together the egg whites, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a bowl. Heat over a hot water bath until the mixture reaches 140 (F). Transfer to the mixer and whip until stiff peaks form and mixture is cool to the touch. Whip in the softened butter gradually.



Notes: Buttercream can be flavored any way you like… vanilla, lemon, or coffee extract. You can also make chocolate buttercream by adding sifted cocoa and melted unsweetened chocolate.



For the flowers and words, you need a pastry bag with the flowered tip. For the words you will use the small round tip.

(After you color a small amount of frosting)
