I'm looking forward to trying this one too.
I have made the variation on the vanilla cream (adding strawberry jam and a slurp of strawberry liqueur), and the texture was perfect.

I made 100 mini cupcakes for a friend of a friend's wedding last night. Yes the buttercream is perfect! It seems much lighter than the creamy vanilla frosting, more like mousse. Thanks Maddy, it's a winner :)

Thx,

My mouth is watering Maddy. They look lovely and chocolatey.

I made this to decorate ES dark chocolate cake and posted how great your buttercream was as well.  Just posting in here so those who have not tried it give it a go, as it is awesome.
