There is a recipe in the recipe section on this site. It's good for modeling and covering cookies but hard to work with to cover a cake.

I use a recipe on here called rolled buttercream fondant, it is pretty easy to make and work with. I love it for cookies, people go nuts for them.

I like it for cookies. Keep it well chilled and add as much confectioner's sugar as possible.

If you don't use a hi-ratio shortening (not necessarily one with trans fats) it will come out horrible and greasy. It's extremely easy to use, but you must use a vinyl to help cover your cake since it is very soft. It's repairable and you can flavor it with all sorts of yummy combos, I do a chocolate rbc with hazelnut lorann oil. Most of the cakes in my pics are RBC. Also great on cookies like the others said.

The first time I made it, I used regular shortening, and it got greasy after a day, but the second time, I used hi ratio, and it never got greasy at all! I have put lemon extract in it as well, and that made a good flavor with sugar cookies.
