However, if you must make it in advance, you can store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze this buttercream for up to a month. If you choose to store the buttercream, bring it back to room temperature and re-whip before using. Likewise, a cake that is filled or covered with Swiss Meringue buttercream should not be served straight from the refrigerator. For best results, allow it to sit at room temperature before serving.
