42 Spectacular Buttercream Wedding Cakes

Q: What is the least sweet buttercream?

Swiss meringue buttercream is silky smooth and less sweet than American buttercream. Because of the cooked sugar, it also does not form a crust and is a relatively stable style of buttercream.

Q: What can I use instead of buttercream icing?

Marshmallow Frosting – This is perhaps your best bet. It is still sugary, but it’s lighter and it can still be piped. Cream Cheese Icing – Another classic frosting. Whipped Cream with Cream Cheese – For a rich but lighter-tasting topping, you can bulk up whipped cream with cream cheese to help it hold its form.

Q: Frosting and Icing: What’s the Difference Between These Two Sweet Toppings?

In broad terms, frosting is thick and fluffy, and is used to coat the outside (and often the inner layers) of a cake. Icing is thinner and glossier than frosting, and can be used as a glaze or for detailed decorating.
