Swiss Meringue Buttercream is a luxurious frosting characterized by its silky texture and subtle sweetness. This frosting involves a technique of gently heating egg whites and sugar to create a stable meringue, which is then transformed into a creamy delight with the addition of butter. It is especially suited for frosting cakes, cupcakes, and cookies due to its smooth consistency that holds shapes well under a spatula. With a balance of flavor that is never overpowering, it complements a wide variety of desserts.
