But we're all in agreement, right? Buttercream is the best. I think this deserves a pohl.

buttercream > cream cheese > ..... > whip cream > ............. > icing > fondant

As a kid I used to love it. But now I only like a small amount.

Bonus: Because we refer to it as icing, whenever I hear the word frosting I think of the scene in Zack and Miri Make a Porno in which the one guy says, "She frosted me like a cake!"

You have to have seen it.

Uh, I don't know about that. I think I got all I need from your description. :D

Ah, ok so buttercream must be the stuff I like. Yeah it's way fricking better than that sugary bullshit. I think that crap even f's with my teeth, although I have insanely sensitive teeth.

As an operative of the Glorious Republic of Pie, I enjoy this thread - fight amongst yourselves, cakeies... we're gathering our forces.

Just about enough to cover a cupcake, and even then that can be pretty ridiculous.

I've often said my wedding cake will be an ice cream cake. I don't like cake, especially wedding cake at all.

Ice cream cake is the only rational choice for a wedding.

The biggest issue I have with wedding cake is that they make the pieces so small! I don't care you have to feed 300 people, get a bigger cake then! :p #firstworldproblem

While I like most frostings I find there is usually way too much for my taste. I usually end up removing about 3/4 of it from whatever I am eating.
Yea, I agree. Actually, I can't remember the last cake I ate. Cakes vary so much in quality. Once you've had a magnificent cake or two, you are spoiled. I worked for a company almost 20 years ago that was gifted a very large magnificent cake and it opened my eyes. Most cakes taste crappy in comparison... the frosting, too.

I'm kind of partial to a whipped cream frosting. They are sweet, but not as sugary. Don't keep as well, but if freshly prepared and presented, they are pleasing.

Solution: decline the wedding invitation, buy your own wedding cake, eat it all by yourself.

Lots of frosting is a way to cover up flaws in whatever it's on. A nice moist cake or cupcake should be iced sparingly, otherwise the icing overpowers everything.
