This was my first Swiss Meringue Buttercream. It was really good and easy to make, After the butter was all added, it was soupy. I just kept on beating it on high and it came together about 5 minutes later. It's a delicious base, I added 1tsp. of vanilla for a basic vanilla frosting

I had to add an extra cup of butter to this recipe. It was too meringue-y without it.
