Zoom demonstration - Swiss Meringue Buttercream
Upcoming Start Dates
You will be sent an invitation to join the zoom 'meeting' along with a list and picture of the equipment and materials Annabelle will be using.
Your definitive guide to Swiss meringue buttercream (SMB). This smooth, glossy buttercream is a dream to work with and a joy to eat. People often shy away from SMB because it is very different to make than other buttercreams and frosting. This demonstration is designed to answer all your questions, give you the confidence and knowledge to make, use and store SMB.
