But if youâre among the estimated 5% of Americans who have mold allergies, you may be all too well acquainted with the itchy eyes, nasal congestion, coughing, wheezing, skin irritation, and other symptoms mold allergies can cause.

Bake your meringue pie at a high temperature with a short baking time. This prevents overcooking the outer layer of meringue, so beading is avoided. Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 4 to 5 minutes.
Most buttercream icings made with butter and egg whites or egg substitutes -- called meringue buttercreams â perform best at room temperature. They can be kept out for up to three days â either in a bowl or on a cake -- covered or in a cool, dry place. Butter begins to separate at temperatures between 88 and 98 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not a health concern, but on a hot day, your buttercream can slide off the cake if the fat separates from the whey.
