Here's a tutorial on how to achieve the look you're after: http://www.cakecentral.com/article10-How-To-Create-Faux-Fondant-The-Paper-Towel-Method----Viva.html
Oh course! All of my cakes are buttercream. I only have a few of my wedding cakes posted. http://www.cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-photos-by-jenn123.html
Use a recipe that crusts and use the Viva towel method if you want it really smooth.
I only use buttercream. Only have 1 made with fondant. Many people have commented and "came in for a closer look" on my cakes to see if it is buttercream or fondant. Practice with the Viva paper towel method and you can achieve that look. I learned about it in the last 12 months and will never do a cake without paper-toweling it.
This is a practice cake I made for my son's wedding cake awhile back using the faux fondant method on this site. It was quite easy to do. I should have gone back and smooshed all those little white dots down, but I was in a rush, I guess. Anyway, my son, (it was for his wedding) preferred the look of the traditional straight edged cakes. Final product in my album. Hope this helps!
