I’m very sorry to hear this. I don’t like that I can’t help you troubleshoot as I am not in your kitchen. I do know that SMBC fails for a few reasons but the most common is that meringue was not cool enough before the butter went in. In these cases, the butter melts and the mixture will not hold/come together. Again very sorry but this recipe has been the one I use for years. It is in so many different recipes here on my site and one that I know works as I use it myself always.

Usually make Swiss buttercream for my cakes and I tried this recipe twice and threw out two batches of SMBC. It would NOT hold and kept splitting. I am sad because it sounded delicious.

I’d like to make it and don’t want to mess it up with all the expensive ingredients. In reading the recipe and the comments on the SMBC, I don’t see the 2 tsps of orange juice (only 2 TBSPS) and the directions say add the vanilla, but no vanilla is listed in the ingredients. Also, orange zest is listed in the ingredients, however, there is no mention in the directions on when to add it. Can you please clarify? Thanks so much!

Hi Jasmin – sorry for the delayed response. You only need two tablespoons of orange juice. SMBC is actually easy to flavor – I’ve added up to 1/4 cup caramel or strawberry compote and the mixes well into the frosting. No worries on using grand marnier either- that would be delicious! Let us know how you liked the recipe.
