Hello - I have been doing a lot with fondant lately and I usually use the Wilton buttercream recipe as a base, but there has to be something that tastes better out there. Basically, I am tired of this recipe! What else tastes really good and will hold up well under fondant? Any flavors would be appreciated, but especially vanilla, white chocolate and regular/dark chocolate.
I lvoe the Buttercream Dream recipe here. I will NEVER go back to the Wilton buttercream.
The Buttercream Dream is less "heavy" tasting.
Heres the link to it:

I second the Buttercream Dream recipe. I have been using it since I found it on this site in June. The nice thing is that you can use more butter and no shortening if you like. I know some people are particular about shortening in frostings. I did it for a cake last weekend and it worked out great.
I will throw in that using hi ratio shortening makes a big difference in the taste, and I often use different flavorings, and even combine them, too - vanilla and almond are great.
For chocolate, I get great reviews on the chocolate syrup frosting from this site.
Have fun with the experimenting. I think I will follow suit and try the whimsical bc this weekend myself.
