@irisayala With swiss buttercream, you heat the egg whites with the sugar.

What's the diff between this and Swiss meringue? I've seen vids for both methods and they appear identical

@jaccib43 Sometimes even if the bowl feels cold enough to put the butter into it it can still be hot enough to melt, the best way is to just keep mixing until it smooths out. What I do with my icing if it doesnt work out is I either mix it with my cake batter to make it lighter by slowly folding it in or I use it as a filling for my cakes, it still tastes good, so why not use it where people don't normally look? Hope this helped out...

@LILWEIRDO209MODESTO He already gives you the first amount of sugar in cups, with 1. And then the water is 1/4 C. The 2 oz of sugar is also 1/4 C and 16 oz of butter is 2 C (8 oz in a cup)

@jlovesg A standard buttercream is much heavier than this, which is almost completely whipped and much, much lighter.
