This type of buttercream is also known as French or common buttercream. It is made by beating hot syrup into eggs or egg yolks to create a base mix known as pâte à bombe. Butter is then whipped into it to create a very luxe, light icing. It has a pale yellow tinge and is the richest of all buttercreams.
