I'm going to make chocolate cupcakes, filled with chocolate cream cheese frosting and decorate the outside using swiss meringue buttercream. I want to use SMBC to decorate only because i'm afraid that the cream cheese frosting will not hold. I'm planning to do sesame street cupcakes.

My question is.. would SMBC and chocolate cream frosting taste good together?
Thanks!

In my opinion, there is no flavor that will not taste good with SMBC. I love the stuff.

What flavor will your SMBC be?

Thanks for the replies! I will not be adding any flavour to the SMBC, it will be plain as is.

I am hoping that you will be using vanilla flavoring. If not, it will only taste like a stick of butter. I,m a little confused at you saying it will be as is. hth

I eat SMBC without any flavorings, and I freakin love that stuff. It definitely doesn't taste like straight butter to me. I prefer it without flavorings actually, but do use them for different people. I could eat a whole bowl right after it's mixed.

Yes, it will be vanilla SMBC.

I do cupcakes professionally and all I use is SMBC. I use it plain, and with flavorings and additives. The reason I like it so well, is because it "takes the flavor" you are using very well. Butter just loves to absorb flavors, and that is what does when it is mixed with any flavoring

Does anyone have a good recipie for smbc? I have heard good and bad about it and all the different problems with it. Is there a tutorial or special instructions for it? I would like to try it over the holidays good time to buy butter when it is on sale for the holidays.
feel free to pm me if necessary.
thanks
