Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting is a sweet and silky buttery frosting that is perfect for piping onto cupcakes and used to fill and frost cakes. It is a very sturdy frosting that when chilled the buttercream hardens from the large amount of butter in the recipe. Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting.

These nifty rotating cake stands are available at large craft stores and allow you to assemble your cake on a flat surface and turn the cake as you frost.
