Ive been trying to think of a flavour of buttercream that would taste nice with a gingerbread cake and can be covered with fondant. Any ideas?
Thanks
Hi there
I made one recently which was the ginerbread cake recipe from the Confetti cakes book with a chocolate buttercream (also from their book)
was delicious!
She suggests also a cream cheese frosting with it

In the recent Food Network magazine, Bobby Flay has a recipe for his gingerbread cupcakes with mango buttercream. Sounds interesting? I bet any flavor really would go, if you want the focus to be on the cake then go for a milder flavor buttercream (vanilla).
I recently did a pumpkin spice cake with cream cheese frosting. I think cream cheese would work with gingerbread as well.
I did mine with a cream cheese frosting that has cinnamon in it....sooooo good with gingerbread.
Cinnamon Buttercream...mmmm! You can find the recipe on here, just search for "revised snickerdoodle cake". It's included in there.
I actually am making a gingerbread cake and filling with lemon BC and topping with cream cheese BC.
Lemon, strange, right? But, my grandma made it years ago with a delish lemon sauce and it was just right! Guarantee you, if you google gingerbread cake, lemon is the most popular pairing.
I love the idea of cinnamon cream cheese icing but the problem is, i want to cover it with fondant and cream cheese needs refridgeration.
Lemon icing also sounds interesting but wouldnt ginger and lemon be too powerful?

My grandmother made the exact same thing....a cooked lemon sauce for the gingerbread!
You CAN put fondant in the fridge so if you really want to do cream cheese, you can. Some fridges are more humid than others and could cause condensation or sweating when you take the cake out. Let it air dry without touching it and it will be fine.
Cinnamon buttercream would be my top choice!! yum!

I always refrigerate my fondant. You just need to remove it without touching it and let it do it's thing until reaching RT and the condensation evaporates.
Wow, thanks alot!!
I guess it'll be gingerbread with cream cheese with a bit of cinnamon.
