help!!!


I think I added my butter too soon to my meringue.   It’s super runny! I’ve tried refrigerating it for a little bit and re-whipping for almost 20 minutes and it still didn’t work!...is there anything else I can do to save it?!

How long did you chill it?  Chill it for a few hours, at least.  Even overnight would be great.  

Adding powdered sugar or a little more butter can help.

Sometimes, adding more already made Swiss meringue buttercream can help, as well.

And of course, whip it very well!

Best of luck! Smbc is usually pretty easy to fix, so I hope that this is the case for you!
