The BIG 3 for meringue are:

Hopefully, I will tackle all of them in the future, but today, it’s all about Italian meringue!

Any question about Italian meringue you've got after watching this tutorial? Let me know!

I made my first Italian meringue a few days ago to use in a chiffon pie filling. Did surprisingly well for a first timer. Pulled it off on the first go without burning myself from the hot sugar syrup.

Your method of piping the meringue by putting it in plastic wrap first is freaking genius!! I know how I will do that from now on, thanks!!

[andreagennusa]

Placing the merengue masse in a cling wrap before put in a piping bag is genial, I'll give a go I might save the piping bag;)

I made this today and it turned out perfect, it's not too sweet and holds up very well

I always failed my Italian meringue frosting, watching a lot of videos until I came here. Finally after my first trial using your knowledge I made it. Thank you so much.

Couple of questions: 1. I noticed you’ve taken a nonstick pot for the syrup. Can I use a stainless steel one or is the type of pot important? 2. How long does it take for the syrup to go from 108 to 120 degree Celsius?

[MediocreRebel]

Ever since I made Italian meringue I'm and NEVER making American buttercream again. Italian meringue is the best! And easy!! For real I don't even really bake and even I can make it. So much worth it. You can also use a hand held mixer with a whisk attachment. Just make sure you have a friend to pour in the sugar syrup while you whip, that stuff is very dangerous.

[EuropeanFilipina]

Thank you so much for sharing, I learned more

[thanielleerasmus]

If I top a lemon meringue pie with this method would i still need to bake it in the oven or can I just use a blow torch to brown it

[guivianna]

Awesome! I really will use it. Thank you!👏🏻👏🏻💗

[yaralightr]

I love your videos, if you want to put some flavor wich ones do you recomend and how many ml, and what is the size of your baking trays, I'm looking something like that.

[elibeltran]

Is the cream of tartar really necessary to stabilized the meringue?

[sarahs]

Is this good for a wedding cake outdoors? Its for a semi weddi g cake

[TheNarrowGate]

Can you do video on Italian Meringue Buttercream? Please .

[kudabear]

Can I use the itlian meringue to pipe on cupcakes? I do not like buttercream frosting (to sweet for my taste) so I'm always looking for a better frosting for my cupcakes, cakes and cookies.

[christianmillendez]

i wonder if this was the type of icing i grew up with. many years ago, birthday cakes and wedding cakes were covered in a meringue-like icing much lighter than today's cloying buttercreams and marzipans.
