I recently attended a wedding and am wondering if someone can tell me what the icing on the cake might have been. It was extremely light and melt-in-your-mouth tasting. It didn't taste like whipped cream so I don't think it was Bettercreme. I have never made any of the meringue buttercreams but wondered if it could have been one of those. It was really good- like a buttercream only so light- it was great! Any experts out there who could compare the texture and taste of icings?
Does anyone have a great smbc or imbc recipe? I've never tried one and I want to but I don't know which one to try. Thanks, Kristen
A really good recipe can be found on www.creativecutters.com. I have taken some of Geraldines's classes and they are really good. Tells you what step you should be at with the egg whites at a particular temperature with the sugar and water. I ended up buying a digital thermometer and it has been a life saver. You can buy one at Walmart. Also to add cold butter and not room temperature. What is not on there is your flavouring. I add about 2 teaspoons of vanilla. She left it up to you. This is the recipe she uses and Geraldine has other receipes too. I made the chocolate ganche. Yummy. This is my first post so I hope it was ok and did not break any rules.
Probably IMBC or SMBC. jkalman has a great thread about it and how to make it. http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopict-594605.html
