Italian Meringue Buttercream Frosting image

There's several of these recipes on here, each one a little different, but since I found this one on the CRAFTSY site it's become my go to recipe and always a hit. Not to sweet, and easy to work with. Someone stated - "tastes like clouds it's so light" a little time intensive but oh so worth it
