What alternatives are there to sugar fondant and buttercream for wedding cake frosting?
I’m interested in a wedding cake that tastes good, not one that looks pretty. I never understood the concept of making food look nice but taste terrible. Sugar fondant, in my opinion, tastes and smells like caulking and buttercream is always too sweet and has a nauseatingly grainy texture. Are there any other alternatives to these two for the icing on a wedding cake? I’m having my wedding indoors in early spring so melting isn’t a problem.
Decorator Frosting:
2/3 cup shortening (Crisco is best)
Sift 4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 tsp. almond extract
2-3 Tblsp. milk
Beat above till smooth. Cover with a damp cloth until ready to use. You can spread this on cake, and dip your knife in hot water to smooth out, as well as make flowers or other accents. This is very tasty. Hope this helps.
