Which is more popular? Buttercream vs. Fondant?!

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

I have traveled to many places & I'll have to say buttercream frosting vs. fondant.

I think thats a tough call, buttercream is popular but some people prefer fondant, AND fondant has become unsually popular because you can now buy strawberry, chocolates and toffee fondants etc

Butter cream would be more popular. I would think fondant is used more when you are doing fancy decorating, and by professional bakers. Most people who bake a cake at home would be using butter cream.

I thought they cover the cake with buttercream then cover it with the fondant cause the buttercream keeps the fondant in place. =/

Buttercream is so much easier to use. I totally despise fondant. It cracks and breaks all over at the touch of the carving knife. Totally inedible cakes.

Fondant is pretty if you are piping decorations onto the cake, but butter cream certainly tastes better.

Buttercream! fondants are used more for wedding cakes or more professional cakes.
