I have tried several buttercream recipes but not really crazy about the taste. I have tried using crisco, butter and a combination of both but would like a recipe that taste better. Does anyone have a really good icing recipe?

Thanks

I use the one that comes with the Wilton Meringue Powder, the one that is just meringue, crisco and vanilla and sugar. I love it cause it isn't overly sweet. I usually don't add all of the sugar it calls for and it turns out really tastey. Everyone seems to prefer that icing to the other buttercreams that I have made.

What kind of taste are you looking for? you can alter the taste of any BC recipe by adding flavors. Almond, vanilla, orange, kaluah, mint, cream cheese,banana, caramel/buttercsotch, rum,...The possabilities are endless with a little trial and error. HTH

Thanks for the input. I have tried a few flavors but maybe it was the ratio i was using.

Try the Buttercream Dream from this site, Yummy!!

Starrchaser,
Where do I find the Cream Cheese flavoring you mentioned? I have heard of this several times, and I looked for it last night and saw just about every other flavor imaginable, but not cream cheese.

I agree with the ButterCream Dream. YUMMY. It's the one I always use.
