Does this buttercream "smooth" I'm trying to find the perfect buttercream to smooth vs fondant. I love the way fondant looks but not a fan of the taste (prefer buttercream)

It does smooth rather well.  I have found the longer you mix it at the slowest speed on your Kitchen Aid the smoother it gets.  Also, it's a crusting buttercream so you can use a Viva paper towel or parchment paper to smooth it after it crusts.

Yes Dawn similar in that you can "roll out" the buttercream like it was fondant. I have tried it, and personally, it is WAY too sweet for my taste. But you might like it. You will have to try it for yourself.

Oh by the way Cat. I guess you know your page is set to "private". This means no one can see any of your cake photos. Sure would like to see them.

Here is a link to a tutorial on SMBC. She did an excellent job in explaining SMBC . And to my knowledge she does use this under fondant,because she dosen't use any other BC. So you have to check her tutorial.

Well Swiss buttercream can not be used under fondant and I just wanted to be sure. Also read that this buttercream sometimes melts a bit. So if anyone has used this under fondant would you please let me know? I soooo appreciate it. Don't want to have a disaster on my hands..... well that can still happen just because! lol
