1. Why are wilton recipes for BC frosting different (i.e. magazine, website, old books)? I just think it seems kind of odd. I don't have much experience and am trying to gather a couple of "ultimate" tried and true recipes that I can use for cakes or cupcakes. They all seem slightly different.

2. What kind of frosting should I use to decorate cupcakes? I want a frosting that will hold up if I want to pipe out swirls on top. Last cream cheese frosting I used, it was too soft and there was no swirls. icon_redface.gif I gathered a couple of crusting BC frosting recipes on the net, can I use one of these??

I've been using the Buttercream Dream recipe which I found here, I do not remember who posted it, but it is delicious and a hit every time. You can search for it, it holds up great for swirls, borders, stars, etc.

Yes crusting BC is what you want to use. That way it is stiff enough to hold the shape and stays that way. Each recipe is different because some people like to have whats on hand and some people like some better then others.
