I am making a lemon cake with raspberry filling. I'm looking for a yummy icing besides the old standby BC. It needs to hold up under fondant. I was thinking a whipped icing with raspberry flavor. Any suggestions/recipes would be greatly appreciated. icon_biggrin.gif

Whipped icings aren't normally used under fondant, that might be why you haven't received any responses.

If you were looking for something other than b/c, you could try a meringue buttercream:

Yes, I think an IMBC would be wonderful. Sounds delicious!

Thanks for the tip. I really just wanted something lighter than BC. I guess I worded it wrong icon_redface.gif I 'll try the meringue. Thanks again
