I am making baby block cakes for a shower. I don't want to use fondant on all of them. Is there a good technique to get the corners crisp using buttercream?

The upside down frosting technique looks like it'd do the job nicely I've never tried it but it looks simple enough.

I'm doing approximately 50 petit four baby blocks ths fall for the 1st time and I too have wondered the best way, but I think I'm going to do the quick pour fondant and air brush the desired colors and apply fondant letters. Whatever you decide, let us know and post pics!

I'm not sure that this is the look that you are looking for but how about the quick-pour fondant icing? http://cakecentral.com/recipes/7472/quick-pour-fondant-icing-2

This is a quick and easy method. Do a search on Flickr and see the results you get by using quick-pour fondant icing. They have a ton of beautiful images. Here is an example of one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/josefs/3024458188/

I'm going to try this method on cake balls!
Good luck!
