This video provides a detailed explanation of how to make buttercream using Swiss meringue. First, soften unsalted butter at room temperature by creaming it. Next, warm egg whites and granulated sugar in a double boiler and whip them with a mixer to make meringue. Once the meringue has cooled to below 30°C, fold it in with the butter in several batches, and finally add vanilla extract to finish. It is easier to handle than whipped cream and is suitable for frosting cakes and writing on them, making it ideal for decoration.
