Hi Ana,

Yes, I think this recipe will serve your needs well. I use it under rolled fondant.

Thanks, Zoë

Hi, absolutely love your How-to videos
Well, i want to make a cute birthday cake but i want to cover it with sugar paste.
I wonder if this buttercream coat is good for me to cover it after with sugar paste. Last time i tried, i did a buttercream frosting but it was too sweet… this recipe seems nicer, but i don’t know if it’s better for that purpose.
Could you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi Jenica,

Are you wondering about the buttercream? It is fully cooked over a double boiler, but I would check with your pediatrician if you have any concern.

Thanks, Zoë

This is probably a stupid question…but is this recipe safe for a baby’s first birthday?

Hi Kristen,

In order to incorporate enough air into the egg whites to make meringue, you need to use the whisk attachment. The paddle just doesn’t aerate the whites enough to make them fluffy.

Hope that helps! Zoë

Hi! I am really excited to do this frosting recipe for my sisters 14th birthday which is in 5 days. I was wondering if you whip the egg whites that where mixed into the sugar will turn unto a fluffy white frosting. If it works, instead of using a whip attachment, can you use a paddle attachment? Please respond. Thanks.

Can you suggest a recipe? I live in a very warm weather, and even when I love buttercream… its hard to use it in this type of weather. Thanks

I love this video!!! Just one question before I start doing it… 1.5 pound butter = 675gram butter? I just to make sure the right measurement because I am not really familiar with pounds. Thank you for sharing your video and technique… bless you! xxx
