Swiss Meringue Buttercream Mix
Whipped meringue powder to combine with butter, less sweet than classic buttercream.
FUNCAKES Swiss Meringue Buttercream Mix recreates the principle of Swiss meringue without heating egg whites in a bain-marie: the mix replaces this technical step. The result is a smooth, less sweet cream than classic buttercream, with excellent piping stability.

Step-by-step preparation
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
- Mix 100 g of mix with 70 ml of hot tap water and whisk for 8 minutes at maximum speed until you obtain an airy, meringue-like texture.
- Add 220 g of unsalted butter at room temperature in 4 additions, beating until fully incorporated between each addition.
- Whisk at high speed for about 8 additional minutes to obtain a smooth, glossy cream.
- One portion fills and covers a 20 cm diameter cake, or decorates approximately 12 cupcakes.
Please note: If the cream appears grainy after adding the butter, continue whisking at high speed: the emulsion will generally smooth out after an additional one to two minutes, as with classic Swiss meringue.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from the classic FUNCAKES Buttercream Mix?
This version recreates a Swiss meringue (a base of whipped egg white then emulsified with butter), which is less sweet and more delicate in the mouth than classic buttercream prepared from a sugar- and starch-based mix.
Why add the butter in 4 additions?
Adding the butter gradually prevents the emulsion from collapsing or splitting: each portion must be fully absorbed before adding the next.
Is this cream suitable for smoothing with a spatula?
Yes, its smooth texture and good stability at room temperature make it a suitable base for smoothing layer cakes before covering them with fondant.
