Hi, Katie. The German buttercream is in the camp you suggest; I have done purely roux-based buttercream and found it to be way too touchy for my tastes; works half the time and breaks half the time, although I know a lot of people swear by it. The egg yolks in the German buttercream make the roux-based idea much more reliable. Susan
