I know that some people don't like fondant! What is your favorite icing to put under it! I've only used the wilton all crisco and sugar one! Please open my eyes to more that will hold the fondant!
Thanks

I think you should consider using a good quality fondant because that is the first ingredient you clients will be tasting. Whatever bc use under the fondant is secondary.

Maybe it's the Brit in me, but I really don't see the point of 2 kinds of icing on one cake! I tried the buttercream under fondant (made with all butter because Crisco is just nasty IMO!), and it was just way too much stuff! I use boiled sieved preserves brushed over the cake to hold the fondant on and I've never had a problem.

swiss buttercream but you can only put a crumbcoat on or else your fondant will be all bumpy as you press it down.
