I have some questions about your recipe. How many tbs of corn syrp and heavy cream do you add. How do I know if I need to add more corn syrup and or heavy cream?

This is not my recipe but my friend's, Serious Cakes, recipe. How much liquid you add depends on how stiff you want your icing. Humidity plays a roll also. On real humid days here in Ohio, I don't add any liquid beyond the 5-8 tbs. of heavy cream, and sometimes I don't even add that much. It just depends on what you prefer.

I don't work with fondant but I don't see why not, it is buttercream.

Since the corn syrup is added, could you use this for rolled buttercream or is it still soft? I have read somewhere that if you add corn syrup that it makes rolled buttercream, but I can't remember the amount of syrup added.

Amber, I do not know the answer to this question. My guess would be no. I found a link to a rolled buttercream recipe...http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Rolled-Buttercream-Fondant/Detail.aspx

This is THE best frosting ever! I made a wedding cake this past May and the Chef from the kitchen tasted the frosting and commented it was the best he has ever tasted and he makes cakes every week for all the events that take place at the resort. Asked me to send him the recipe.

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

The melting only occurs if you are decorating with it on a hot day or if you are decorating for a long period of time, the heat from your hands tends to make it a little thinner. I'm sure it would be fine under fondant.
