Today’s project 🤣🌺🌼🪻🌹🌷🌸🌻💐

Let’s talk the differences between Swiss Meringue Buttercream and Traditional American Buttercream.
Now personally, I prefer SMB always! It’s my default icing I use. It’s so light, silky, smooth, not too heavy, not too sweet. It’s just the right amount of sweetness that it doesn’t take away from the cake and it doesn’t give you that “this cake is too sweet” taste. I have gotten soooo many compliments on my icing because of that very reason. Now with that being said - there are still people out there who are the die hard TAB fans who like the good old fashioned thick, creamy and sweet icing. I have had a few customers tell me my icing just wasn’t sweet or heavy enough. That’s why it’s so important to read my policies and become aware that my default icing is and always will be SMB. & There are soooo many people who don’t even know the difference! So let’s talk about it! SMB is made with egg whites, sugar and butter, whereas TAB is butter and powdered sugar. SMB has a silky, smooth & overall light texture. TAB is thicker, denser and more sweeter. SMB has a much more prominent buttery taste - TAB is heavier on the powdered sugar taste. SMB is known for having a more elegant, sharp & smooth finish on cakes, TAB can have a slightly grainy texture and is better for a more rustic/textured look/finish. SMB doesn’t do well in the heat, TAB is much more forgiving in the heat. SMB takes more time & technique to make, whereas TAB is more quick and easy. The biggest differences between the two are definitely the sweetness and the texture. Both are great options and neither are the wrong choice. It’s just all about preference! I will always enjoy making just what my customers want, no matter what buttercream it is! 🥰
