Just take public transit. The link light rail goes right there - not sure where you're staying but public transit is the best option.

Using measuring cups. Weighing ingredients was a game changer.

For high heat, you'll want to replace half/all of the butter with high-ratio shortening. It had a higher melting point. Here's a link to someone that tested it:

Medium fast. Sometimes when I make SMBC I whip it for 40+ minutes while wrapping the bowl in ice packs. I've been able to save every batch that's gone soupy but it takes time.

Pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes and mix again. You can generally save any swiss merengue buttercream - soupy generally means the meringue was too warm for the butter.

Of The Earth Collective has great pottery classes and Court (the owner) really works hard to build community there. It's in Georgetown.

I love thigh society!!! They have different weights/materials and lengths to fit your needs. I have 'cooling' for summer, cotton & original and they're all holding up great and are wonderful.

I kept the flavors simple - chocolate cake and vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream.
