I love Swiss meringue buttercream and use it on the birthday cake I make for myself every year. I also make a lemon filling, and usually put some of that into the buttercream at the end. Maybe 3/4 of a cup or so. Yum :)
I also have to confess that I like meringues when they are a little grainy, especially on lemon meringue pies. And the sweeter the better! I tend to add way more sugar than called for.
Thanks for the great idea on the piping dam to keep the filling in!
It's amazing how such a little thing can make such a big difference. Most welcome. Susan
