    Don't forget to wipe down the bowl and any attachments with lemon juice when you make meringue. Any kind of oil left behind can mess up your mix easily. You can see Claire with a slice of lemon at 15:34. I wipe down bowls I have cleaned just to makes sure I didn't miss any soap residue. I have learned this the hard way, don't forget the lemon!

      I made frosting from scratch once and literally never bought frosting again. Once you taste homemade frosting, the next time you taste store-bought frosting you're just like "ohhhhhh I see, this is garbage." And it requires pretty much the least amount of effort possible.

    Hairdrayer, microwave, waterbath and fridge are good alternatives to a blowtorch and frostbite on your hands.
    And in my experience espresso powder dissolves way better in your buttercreme if you mix it with a tiny bit of warm water so you get some kind of a pasty consistency.

    For the cream cheese frosting, yeah you have to use butter. I attempted cream cheese frosting a few weeks ago, and i didn't understand why it didn't whip up properly and wouldn't hold its shape. The recipe i followed didn't mention butter, oddly enough... however when i added about 1:2 ratio it whipped up nicely and could be piped. Instantly became one of my favorite frostings!

    With the Italian meringue, if you're a bit worried about the crystallisation of the syrup that Claire was talking about, add a couple drops of lemon juice, or some cream of tartar to the solution prior to bringing up to temp to invert some of the sucrose into glucose and fructose.

    @BubblewrapHighway 5 лет назад

    Alton Brown always told us that pouring your syrup for the Italian meringue against the bowl was bad, because if little drops cool too fast and harden, they can become little sugar pebbles in the finished product. It looks like she avoided this issue by pouring ALL the syrup down the side. : D Much easier than trying to aim between the whisk and the side. We all have so much to learn.
