Swiss Meringue Buttercream

150 gms butter(cubed) must be cold whereby our finger can give a press. Not the frozen cold.

Method: Cook the egg whites and sugar over a double boiler. Stir with a whisk till the sugar melts. Take away from the heat and beat until the whites are stiff and cool. Add in the butter cube by cube and beat till creamy.(add in a pinch or two of salt)


Assembling of the cake

Cut the cake into half and sandwich with buttercream. Let the cake sit in the fridge for  half an hour before slicing. Slice them and decorate as desired. Mix some piping jelly with colors or emulcos for decoration.
