what bc do you love to use and that's easy to make and decorate with? I always use IMBC since it's not too sweet, but I'm looking for some others for variety....

My favorite one that tastes pretty good and is great to decorate with as well as ice the cake with...

1 stick softened butter
1/2 cup crisco
4 cups powdered sugar
2 Tablespoons milk (for stiff consistency)
1 Teaspoon of vanilla or flavor of your choice

Makes about 3 cups, add more milk to get desired consistency

I love IMBC! When I want something cheaper and easier to make, I use an all-butter powdered sugar buttercream. It tastes good, though it isn't very easy to smooth.

I want to try Toba Garrett's French Vanilla buttercream recipe. There was a thread about it recently and it sounds very yummy.
