thanks for giving this recipe and very hard work for find right tast ]]>
Hi Christine! I find cream cheese frostin harder to decorate with in general due to the texture. It’s heard to get it really smooth. I usually recommend what you did, low speed for a couple mins usually helps. Alternatively you can do this with a spatula by hand and fold and press the frosting against the bowl to knock the bubbles out. Cream cheese frosting can turn runny when overmixed so I would be careful of that too. Maybe try whipping it less from the start?
]]>So light and not too sweet. My only annoyance was it had so many air bubbles and was not spreadable without looking ‘draggy’ on my cake. I even mixed it on the lowest speed for 15 minutes with my paddle attachment (I didn’t have the spatula paddle just the standard one), and it still was super fluffy. Delicious to eat, not so great for decorating. So I bought a spatula paddle and the next day mixed on low again. It knocked all the air out, but then the frosting was runny.
Any tips for this??
]]>Hi Sarah! Cream cheese SMBC is challenging to make. You can’t just swap the butter for CC, unfortunately. I know some people successfully add in a whipped up block of cc at the very end after making a full batch of SMBC so you could try that. Or you can add some of this CC frosting here at the end to the SMBC. Let me know if you try either of those!
]]>I just love your Swiss meringue buttercream so much, it’s all I ever want to use! ]]>
Hi Hopi! I use a paddle. I hope you love it 🙂
]]>Hi Nevena! Thanks so much for the feedback, I’m so glad you loved it!

I had put the cream cheese in with the butter and creamed together because that’s what the original recipe I had found said to do. I’m definitely going to try yours next, exactly how you say do it. Thank you so much.
]]>Thank you sooooooo much!!! I adore this recipe. I opted for the merengue powder bcs I wanted to be able to pipe onto cupcakes.
Was incredible. Perfect consistency. Not overly sweet. Cream cheese flavour was discernable, but the tang was hardly noticeable at all. ]]>
