Wet meringue refers to the type of protein creams or meringues, as they are commonly called in the professional environment, but at the same time it stands a little apart. In cooking, as you know, there are only three meringues — French (proteins are whipped with sugar and powdered sugar), Italian (proteins are brewed with syrup) and Swiss (proteins are heated with sugar in a water bath until the sugar dissolves, after which they are removed from the water bath and whipped). But wet meringue is something like Swiss meringue, but it is whipped directly in the bath. This cream turns out to be glossy, elastic and stable. It does not flow and holds its shape perfectly, so it can be successfully used to align cakes and to create all kinds of floral arrangements and uncomplicated cream figures.
