Pictures of cakes that don't use the rolled fondant

[kg4eoh]

I absolutely hate the rolled fondant on cakes. (that is the icing that gives the smooth look) Does anyone have any pictures of cakes that don't use the rolled fondant, but use the more traditional butter cream?

I ***LOVE*** fondant... I think it looks so beautiful. However, I did run across this cake that I love as well. I'm pretty sure that this is buttercream.

so, do you actually like the way Fondant tastes? that is the problem I have with Fondant. I think it is beautiful but it taste horrible. I actually saw a food network program showing a wedding at Disney where they did buttercream and laid the fondant over top of it and when they cut the cake they pulled the fondant off of it because the Chef at Disney said he thought fondant tasted horrible too.

The truth is... I've never tried it. MY FH has though and he loves it and he thinks I will too. I'll try it before I make anydecisions though. You are not the 1st person to tell me that they hate the way fondant tastes.

Definately try it before you use it. It is made with wax in it which gives it that finished look and so it usually does not taste as yummy as buttercream. Like I said in my last post, Disney actually makes their cakes so they can pull the fondant off when they cut it so people can eat buttercream. My FMIL is making my cake and she will do fondant if I want her to, but she usually advises her brides against it because of the taste.

Well neither my FH or I like icing. SO I think thats why he likes it and thinks I'll like it.
