Hi! Every recipe for buttercream that I come across by one of the "pros" (Duff, Colette, Weinstock...) uses egg whites. I know they say these buttercreams are tastier and not so sweet, but I've been told to stay away from those types due to possibility of salmonella. How is it they can offer these cakes and deliver them early without the same fear?

Ooops! Sorry Jan, I didn't realize there was another thread out there! I read it all and will probably be giving IMBC a chance.

Next time I'll make sure to run a search on my question before posting! icon_redface.gif

Thanks! sorry again icon_smile.gif

I use Meringue powder in my b/c. No salmonella worries.

Hey Zenu,

My emphasis on giving you Jackie & Heath's thread was really on bumping.... (I enjoy helping with finding stuff in the threads.) icon_smile.gif

It took me 30 minutes to find and filter those threads - so if you could just be a little more patient; help is ususally on the way. thumbs_up.gif
