I saw the same. But I was thinking shouldn't it be 3 egg whites instead ? I thought it was a typo on the websites part .. I might be wrong tho. Never made any buttercream with the whole egg. Humm

I have seen this recipe before some years back. Actually, this is correct. I wish i could remember who makes this also. I will look in my recipes. It is just like making smbc or imbc. You just use whole eggs.

Here's an illustrated meringue b/c recipe that combines IMBC (egg whites) and French MBC (yolks):

Thanks Jan !!!

You're very welcome redheadfairy2003.

Thanks for the great links

I wounder if you can put that bright white in it to make it more white ?

I need a better buttercream recipe

you can also buy white butter i buy it from a cake supply store/and makes cakes, i just looked on buddy's site and that's not the recipe he posted, do you know which one is the right one, and is it really sweet, i don't like mine sweet like wilton's thanks all

I always add a touch of violet color to my icing and it goes white for me.

Does anyone ever worry about putting raw eggs in food that isn't cooked.

I've edited this because I didn't read the recipe before posting

I've had his cake before, and he definitely uses a shortening based icing. I think I might try this recipe tho! Thanks for posting!

Has anyone tried this buttercream recipe? and as for the sugar in the recipe, is that powdered sugar?
