🎂 Why Italian Buttercream Is a Game Changer

Unlike American buttercream, which can sometimes be too sweet or heavy, Italian Buttercream is:
• Light and silky
• Perfectly smooth
• Pipeable for detailed designs
• Less sweet than traditional buttercream
• Heat-stable and reliable for tall cakes
• Ideal for wedding cake finishes
• Velvety and luxurious in texture

Its secret is a hot sugar syrup that cooks the egg whites, creating a meringue base that’s both stable and airy. When butter is added, the result is a frosting that feels like silk on the tongue.
