What is the difference between Danish buttercream and classic buttercream?

Answer 1

WHY DO YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT

Answer 2

Although, essentially just butter, sugar, and egg, there are many ways to prepare buttercream. Italian buttercream begins with a simple syrup heated to the soft-ball stage and then whipped into an egg white foam before adding butter. A French or Danish buttercream is prepared by whipping a solution of heated egg yolks and sugar into a thick foam followed by the incorporation of butter.

Answer 3

No egg in the real Danish butter cream:

125 g confectioners sugar (about 1 cup)

3 TBS boiling water

250 grams soft butter

Whip sugar and water, add butter a little at a time.
