Im not much of a fan of buttercream icing (or maybe I havent fount the right recipe). Is there another type that is good to fill and ice cakes under fondant? This might sound dumb but I am trying to perfect the taste of my cakes as well as clean up the look. If anyone has a great buttercream recipe that tastes GOOD and you want to share I would love to have it. Thank you!!!!
I have tried the cooked buttercream and the wilton one I think both just dont cut it. When I was a little girl my grandpa used to make homeade icing and it was soooo good, but he died a while back and I never got the recipe ( i dont think he used one). I think I compare every one i try to his and I dont think Im going to be happy till It tastes like his. Everyone says that the icing tastes fine but I just dont think it does. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
Here ya go:

I get some rave reviews with this
Here's another vote for Indydebi's buttercream. Everyone in my family loves it. My husband says he likes it because it's not so sickeningly sweet like some bc's can be. Give it a try! I love the texture of it, too.
I agree with Indydebi's recipe....I used it for the first time yesterday, and it literally just slid on the cake. It wasnt real sweet. I am also a fan of sugarshack's, people have said it is too sweet (I'm a fan though!) but talk about smooth and crusts beautifully.....
I use Serious_Cakes, and everyone that tries it likes it!
If you haven't tried serious_cakes buttercream recipe I HIGHLY recommend it. I've tried all the popular ones on here and in my opinion and my client's too, serious_cakes is the best.
Here's why..........1)Taste.....it's DELICIOUS and it's not overly sweet like the others are 2)Texture is incredibly smooth and easy to work with, it crusts well yet it stays soft under the crust (if that makes sense) and 3)Probably the most important thing of all to me is that it's made with BUTTER, 22Tablespoons to be exact, I mean hey it's BUTTERcream so it should contain BUTTER, right?
Try it, you won't be disappointed!
dkelly... Do you happen to have a link to serious_cakes bc recipe handy?
Thanks, kbak37! I just completely overlooked that post.
Im curious though, with all the butter and the little bit of whipping cream, is the sugar preserving it enough to keep it unrefrigerated?
I've been using this recipe for about a year and a half now, leaving it at room temp, without any problems. Even in the summer, never had a problem
I am very new to cake decorating and tried Indydebi's after reading a lot of reviews and recommendations.
I was so impressed with it that I haven't looked to try anything else. It was very easy to make, easy to work with, crusted well, and tasted great.
I saw this video on youtube, so I tried it. I used Serious_cakes yellow cake recipe and the butter cream icing. They were wonderful. The cake actually got more moist the next morning. As a newbie I'm glad I started with a really fantastic recipes.
