For all of you out there that have tried using Rolled Buttercream, what is your opinion on it. I love the look of fondant and what you can do with it, but I really can't stand the taste. I've tried MMF and the taste is better, but I'm not a huge marshmallow fan so I'm yet again on a quest to find an alternative.

Is RBC difficult to work with and will it give the same results as fondant? Does it really taste like BC??

I have so many ideas for cakes that I cannot make because of the limitations of regular BC.

I can't answer your questions but giving ya a bump.

I am trying to make RBC tonite because I have be curious about it, too.
There is another cake friend of mine that uses only RBC because she said it tastes so much better.

Rolled buttercream does taste better than fondant and MMF in my opinion but it is harder to cover a cake with{but can be done with patience and practice}. MMF is more stretchy than the rolled buttercream. I've heard of people using a half and half mix of the MMF and RB. That way you can cover the cake more easily without it tearing. Also the rolled buttercream has more of a glossy look, which I don't like on a cake. I like the more of a flat look that MMF gives you. But I must agree with you that I'm not that big of a MMF fan either. I can't stand marshmallows, unless it's in a s'more!! thumbs_up.gif
