Rant: My entire week's worth of meringue buttercream split on a Friday morning for a 200-person wedding...

Ugh, that's brutal. I always thought the whole "room temp butter" thing was overblown until I had a batch break on a hot day. Now I chill the bowl and beat the heck out of it before adding anything warm. Saved my last big order.

Chilling the bowl is smart for a hot kitchen. But honestly, I just use butter straight from the fridge. Grate it into the dry stuff with a cheese grater. Works every time, even in summer. Never have to worry about it getting too soft.

Nah, I just work fast with truly soft butter and never have issues (my kitchen's pretty cool though).
