I HATEE Buttercream..HELP!!

Original post by adelya21

So I cannot stand the taste/smell of buttercream. Its thatstrong butter taste that makes me feel sick (i know its strange lol) So i dont know what i am going to do for my wedding cake. Dortonis told me that they really cant put anything else on it as a layer before putting on the fondant. I dont know how true this is. I had my e-cake from them to test it out and i couldnt eatthe fondant becit hadthe buttercream on it. Ugh im so frustrateddd. anyone else have a similar dislike for buttercream???? what are you doing for your cake??

i HATE buttercream. Why can't they use just a plain vanilla frosting?

anyone who tells you that they can not use another filling except for buttercream is lying to you! there are dozens of bakeries out there that can all make wedding cakes with the flavor of your choice! don't settle!

oh, and fondant is not made out of buttercream - it is made out of a LOT of sugar and its basically icing. it may have a little bit of butter but not overwhelming. again, if its smella like buttercream it might be their own creation - ask them not to make it like that

Why can't you just NOT eat the buttercream? You're going to have other fillings inside the cake. Just eat those instead!

Professional buttercream is usually not actually made with butter. Most bakeries don't use butter because it melts easily and the icing holds together better when it's made with just shortening. Some places add a butter flavoring to make the shortening taste more like butter, but maybe you can ask them not to include that. Then you wouldn't have the butter taste you don't like!

Usually, professional 'buttercream' is just shortening and icing sugar.

i think you misunderstood my post. the issue isnt findant or the filling the issue is what they put over all the layers right before adding fondant. they have to add something so as to help the fondant stick on thecake. they tell me hey cnt use anything but buttercream for this. as for filling i can get wtvr i want.

I've heard of rainbow cake which is basically the italian three color cooking with chocolate icing. The great thing about fondant though is it flawlessly covers any cake and it can be peeled off easily if you don't want to eat it.
