I recently did a whole red velvet wedding cake with Italian meringue buttercream (IMBC). We filled it with imbc flavored with cheesecake flavoring from LorAnn, and it was delish.

For larger cakes I always use cream cheesing frosting. If I am making the standard 2 layer 8" cake, I will use the frosting recipe that comes with the recipe. It is a cooked frosting, very soft, but also VERY good.

I have used the Crusting Cream Cheese Icing recipe from this site and I LOVE it so much, I'll never try another. It's PERFECT. You can decorate with it, flowers, borders..etc. It's awesome icon_biggrin.gifthumbs_up.gif
