But don't fear if it looks "curdly". Keep whipping it, and it will eventually get to the consistency it should be. And the taste is heavenly. So buttery and light, and in my opinion, so much better than a powdered sugar-based buttercream.

I can't speak to the cake portion of this recipe, but I can speak to this buttercream recipe. I LOVE this buttercream recipe, and I am only a moderately experienced baker. However, I have had the cottage-cheese like consistency problem that cynbin mentioned. Here is the trick: make sure your egg whites have cooled enough before you add the butter. Don't have your water be boiling, just simmering, and then whip the egg whites long enough to get the temperature down to tepid at best.

Thank heavens I had the sense to test this recipe a month before a baby shower where I planned to serve them. Love the look on the website! The cupcake recipe is not only "plain", it is a very strange sort of glutenous consistency and unlike any cupcake I have ever seen or tasted. I seriously would not consider serving it even to family let alone at a party. Followed the cake and buttercream frosting recipes precisely, and am an experienced cook. The frosting was disappointing also -- tends to separate

These are amazing when done right. If you are not a cake decorator, I would not try them. They take a long time, but are totally adorable.
