Hello everybody, I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the amount of air pockets in Swiss Meringue Buttercream. I do not own a stand mixer, so I make mine using a hand mixer. But I always noticed there are many little air pockets in my finished buttercream. Am I doing something wrong? I have also noticed that many recipes call for the use of a stand mixer and a Paddle attachment in order to get rid of the air pockets. Is there a substitute to a paddle attachment that I can use to get rid of the air pockets? When I go to smooth out the buttercream on a cake, the air pockets make it very difficult to get a smooth finish. :( I would greatly appreciate some tips on how to fix this problem. :)
