Hi everyone...I'm new to these forums and I found that they are very helpful. My question was if anyone new a recipe for frosting that is not buttercream, and is more like the ones used in bakeries? Any help would be great.

Are you looking for something more light, like a whipped icing? There is a Whipped Cream Buttercream that is very good (no cream in it) or there is a Baker's buttercream icing (I haven't tried it), in the recipe section. What type consistency are you looking for? And welcome to Cake Central!

Thanx for welcoming me. Yes I'm looking for something that is whipped but I don't want it to be too light and I don't want butter in it. I would like something that can hold when decorating. I have tried the wilton whipped vanilla frosting but I don't really like the flavor of it, plus it gets to be kind of expensive. Thanx for your help.

Check out this one:

No butter and it is very light. I like it much better than regular buttercream icing. The only drawback is that it is a little more difficult to get smooth, but with a little practice you can get the hang of it.
