What Is The Best Way To Make Clouds?

I am making a baby shower cake and each tier is going to be completely covered in 'clouds' to look like the baby is floating on them. Buttercream would be the best choice? Should it be thicker or thinner? I read somewhere that marshmallows were used in BC, what does that do to it? I really appreciate any suggestions or ideas!
Thanks!
You COULD just go with marshmallow fluff... Or a frosting made with it... It would just make the frosting a bit lighter, but would still be extra sweet.
Actually, marshmallow fluff from the jar will melt and ooze all over the place....trust me, I've tried to use it to disasterous results (fortunately 2 year old nephews aren't too picky about things like that!).
I would just use regular ol buttercream and pipe it with an open coupler or a tip 12.
Whenever I do clouds I make Italian Meringue. The BC I make always turns out slightly yellow (I use butter) so I started using meringue. I think the clouds look better anyway.
Thanks! I think I will try the BC with the open coupler. I don't have to do it for a couple weeks anyways, so I will try it out. Thanks a lot!
