Hi Erin! Yes, for sure. Have a read through this detailed tutorial for tips and troubleshooting: https://livforcake.com/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe/ If just a day in advance I would cover the frosting in the mixer bowl with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature. Give it a good rewhip before you use it.

This looks amazing! I’m a little intimidated by the meringue buttercream frosting. Is it something I could do a day early?

Hi Melanie! The buttercream can be made weeks in advance and frozen. Or it will last for up to a week in the fridge. Key thing is that you have to bring it completely to room temperature and give it a good rewhip before use. If you run into any problems you can find some tips here: https://livforcake.com/swiss-meringue-buttercream-recipe/

I am making today for my sons birthday-cake was made last night but waiting to decorate. How long ahead of time can The icing be made and cake decorated before serving?

Hi Megan! A hand mixer will definitely take a lot longer, but glad it worked out!!

I didn’t have a stand mixer, so using a hand mixer made the meringue a bit t icky. It took much longer to get it to peak.Other than that, itwent over great! Everyone loves it!

This so great! I want to reach out and take a slice 🙂
In fact, about the same time you baked this cake, I did a similar one for my berry loving spouse.

Hi Baran! A normal vanilla cake would work perfectly fine. You can try this one if you like: https://livforcake.com/vanilla-cake/

Hi Belinda! I would not leave it out for that long. Refrigerating should work fine. The icing will get very stiff, but will soften again once at room temperature for 2-3 hours.
