I always use Wilton's Buttercream for cupcakes and it doesn't seem too crusty. It pipes nicely and people gobble them up! But, I like to use whipping cream in place of the milk -- I just like that version better for some reason. Have fun playing with your new kit!
Thanks!!

I checked out the SMBC and it sounds yummy!! What is your variation of the Wilton's?? Heavy cream in place of milk like pp or something else??
I use either a variation of Wilton's buttercream or SMBC. I like them both. I don't think that the Wilton's recipe is too crusty and the vanilla SMBC tastes like vanilla softserve icecream....YUM!

I use heavy cream or juices instead of milk. I also increased the meringue powder.
I also like the Wilton bc and always use heavy whipping cream. I also
use half butter and half shortening. If making roses, I use all shortening.
I also like almond extract in it. I find it a bit sweet, but I also am not a frosting lover. Anyone that eats this loves it.
Also, I used to use the Meringue pwd in the frosting, but have since found it doesn't seem to matter. Someone told me it was just a Wilton scam. I'm not a professional, so I don't know how much it really makes a difference.
I just received an order for 200 cupcakes. The bride said: "really simple" but her gown is an original design, slimming with lots of tulle from below the waist to the floor. Far from simple. I suggested a cake but she was hesitant. I think a tiered cake or cupcakes would be about the same price, if the cake also was simple.
Any ideas?
Maybe a single tier of cake and cupcakes on the stand underneath?? Maybe you could wrap your boards with white tulle, and accent with ribbons or something. Just cupcakes could look fantastic too... white white swirls with maybe silver dragees... pretty simple but very elegant too. and maybe tie thin ribbon around the cupcakes themselves( im doing something very similiar for my good friend's baby shower this weekend)... Good luck Im sure it'll be gorgeous!

Thank you, I'll try your suggestion. I can see it in my head. How lovely.

Ditto on making Wilton's BC with 1/2 butter 1/2 shortening and making roses with shortening. I'm not a pro, either 
, but I am guessing that the meringue powder helps to lighten it up a bit. I noticed with the extra meringue powder it seems a little bit fluffier.
