I have tried a few buttercreams but I still don't know if I have met the "one". I want one that tastes delicious and crusts well.
If you have a favorite buttercream recipe can you post it? I have searched the recipe pages for buttercreams and marked a few so far.
Here's my favorite:

You can sub out butter for the shortening, or use half butter/half shortening (I do it that way), and don't use all of the cream, just enough to get it to the consistency you need.
Indydebi's BC, hands down.

I love Buttercream Dream, but I usually use whipping cream in place of the milk. It's delicious, has great consistency, and is very crusting and pipeable.

Thanks for all the replies!
Indydebi's is the recipe I have used twice now and I loved it both times! I just wanted to make sure I was using one of the best out there. A family member makes cakes sometimes and I loathe the buttercream they use. It is always very blah.
the buttercream dream is the one I always use,the thing that a like the most is that is not soooo sweet and that is made half butter and half shortening,I've try Indydebie's and it's great to,both of them are the best!
Indydebi's BC, hands down.

bugger.. no Dream Whip for us down here
I like Indydebi's BC and sugarshacks BC. Both in the recipe section.
I totally agree those two are the only ones I use.
Sugarshack's recipe, use half butter, half hi ratio. I also like the crusting wedding cream cheese recipe on this site.
Mrs-A, for dream whip and other US products try www.usafoods.com.au they're based in Melb but deliver nationally.
