I've heard that it's not possible to put cream cheese frosting under fondant, because it's not as stabil as buttercream... Is that true?
Cause Im thinking about making a cake with cream cheese frosting and I think it's unnecessary to make both the frosting and the buttercream if I really don't need to...

not true... I use it all the time. It does need to be refrigerated before the event, but i refrigerate all of my cakes anyway (I use satin ice fondant)

When I used cream cheese frosting under my fondant, my husband just can't get enough! Very yummy and holds well.

I've used The Cake Bible's white chocolate cream cheese buttercream with great results. Delicious.

Here it is for all...

Deliciously easy. From Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Cake Bible. Seriously consider buying this book if you even remotely interested in getting into cakes ($25 on Amazon).

9 oz white chocolate, chopped
12 oz cream cheese @RT (room temperature)
6 oz unsalted butter @RT
1.5 tbsp lemon juice

Melt the chocolate in the microwave (stirring every 15 seconds) or in a double boiler over low heat. Do not over heat the chocolate.

Set the chocolate aside and let cool slightly while you beat the cream cheese.

Beat the cream cheese using the flat beater of your mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the chocolate until smoothly incorporated. Beat in the butter and lemon juice.

This buttercream will keep 1 day @RT, 2 weeks refrigerated, or 2 months frozen.

Do not rebeat chilled buttercream until it has reached RT or it may curdle.

If the buttercream gets very warm it may separate slightly. Just set the buttercream in an ice bath and whisk until it comes back together.

Makes about 4 1/2 cups
