EASY SWISS MERINGUE BUTTERCREAM 1 C pasteurized liquid egg whites 8 C powdered sugar 1 tsp salt 4 C butter - room temperature 2 Tbsp vanilla gel food dye - I used turquoise with a little blue to match the egg in a large bowl or stand mixer beat the egg whites, sugar and salt for about 5 mins until white, shiny and soft peaks have formed while beating on medium add the butter 1 1/2 - 2 Tbsp at a time once all the butter is mixed in add the vanilla and neat on high about 10 mins until the frosting is thick and ready to spread add the gel dye and beat until the color is smooth DECORATING AND ASSEMBLY 8 oz Chocolate ice water Chocolate eggs before I started making the frosting I made the chocolate nest - take a bowl the size you want the inside of the nest and cover in plastic wrap then spray with non stick spray (don't forget this like I did!!! melt some chocolate and fill a piping bag pipe long lines of the chocolate over some ice water, when is starts to dull pull out of the ice water and layer over the back of the bowl repeat as many times as you need to get the bowl shape you want I use the warm chocolate to pipe between the layers of the cooled strands to help hold the bowl together pipe some extra strands to use around the bottom of the cake refrigerate until ready to use level and torte the cake layers and level the bottom as well for a nice clean slice using a 2 - 2 1/2 inch small round cooking cutter (or biscuit cutter because they are taller) cut circles in the middle of all but one cake layer (use a parchment circle guide to keep them even) stack and frost the cakes with the lining up the cut circles - careful not to get the frosting inside the center fill with chocolate candy Easter eggs add the final cake layer with no cut out and frost the whole thing! add the chocolate nest to the top of the cake and the extra shards around the bottom and add more eggs to the nest and around the bottom LIVE CAKE DECORATING VIDEOS LEGO head cake /watch/0pzk4h0il7xik Pot of Gold Cake /watch/IJb4JlYTwEmT4 Golden Snitch Cake /watch/wJm-h_1qNnBq- MORE CAKE VIDEOS Tamatoa Crab Cake /watch/wHs-QL6nOWDn- Standing LEGO Batman cake /watch/ADxsWweLEoaLs Galaxy Unicorn Cake /watch/8BCMUXSXMEfXM Black Cat Cake /watch/kbM4FcSa1BYa4 Giant Hostess Sno Ball Cake /watch/c_kntaFSl66Sn ASHLEE MARIE - I'm all about from scratch recipes, cake decorating tutorials and fun themed foods.
