What do you do with this buttercream? Is it its own dessert or do you use it on profiteroles or? Looks really good.

It's cake frosting, but you can fill cupcakes and profiteroles with it if you want, too. I filled cupcakes with the recent batch and then dipped the cupcake tops in melted chocolate (the kind designed for that purpose--it's called "Candy Coating chocolate" and they have it at just about every grocery store. So it was kind of like a cake profiterole. Really delicious, and SMB is really delicious; the problem with it is that it tastes so light that it's hard to remember it's got an enormous amount of calories. (The filled cupcakes I made were for a charity bake sale.) I've been doing extra walking and going lighter on meals to fit the leftover cakes into my day, lol, but they're almost gone and I am not making more.

It really is delicious, though, and much less sweet than a traditional American buttercream (the combo of butter and powdered sugar you get at most bakeries. Which I also like but which is very sweet, as I'm sure you know.)

This sounds amazing. I'll have to try it out and maybe make something for my boss with it. He's started to warm up to sweets, and since it's not too sweet, he may love it. Thanks, Dorothy!
