mint buttercream

I prepared a batch of swiss meringue buttercream from this recipe  – with 2 egg whites, use the amount calculated for 3 egg whites if you like more frosting
& mix in peppermint essence to taste and some green coloring


decorate with fresh mint leaves, I used crushed Parma Violets to decorate, but it’ll be fine without them – they add nice crunch though
