Hi!
So I have a potential customer who is interested in sheet cakes and she said their old bakery had and they preferred "old fashioned frosting rather than the creamy. Do you use only creamy or do you have the sweeter frosting?"

Their menu has 3 sections for frosting:

1) Frosting Flavors: Vanilla or Chocolate Creamy (A high quality, non-dairy whipped cream style icing. Refrigeration Suggested)

2) Vanilla or Chocolate Fluffy (A Sweet, old fashioned frosting)

3) Additional Charge for these: Buttercream, Cream cheese, real whipped cream

I'm assuming #1 is Bettercreme or something? That Rich's stuff? #2 sounds like what she's referring to what she likes but I originally thought buttercream when she said sweeter frosting?

Any help is appreciated!

Old fashioned frosting to me is the cooked kind .But if that list is from the other bakery it says old fashioned on#2. Please post when you find out what kind that is . Im interested in what else is called old fashioned .
Sorry I'm no.help.

Why non-fairy? I thought fairies are what gave icing its creaminess? They mix my icing better than my Kitchen Aid.

I would assume the creamy to be Bettercreme (which is non-dairy and does not require refrigeration). The old-fashioned is probably butter and powdered sugar.

Why not call them and ask them? You don't have to ask for the recipe, just ask them what the difference is.

I would put my money on Bettercream as creamy. When I used to work with some un-named cake suppliers we used to explain bettercream (flavorwise) as somewhere between whipped cram & buttercream- it is less sweet tasting than classic american buttercream
