Butter Cream or Whipped Icing

Which type of icing do you prefer?

1. Butter Cream Icing
2. Whipped Icing

I like the good, ole fashioned butter cream icing. I can't stand icing made out of whipped topping.

I agree, love the butter cream, can leave the whipped Buttercream always tastes good whereas with some of the others, its iffy.

Butter Cream for me, too.

Im the odd ball I looooooove the whipped topping!

I like both, but the buttercream lays in my tummy like a brick sometimes, so I usually stick with the whipped icing.

I'm totally with you on this!

Buttercream!

Butter cream is the tastiest.

I don't really care for icing, but out of the 2 you listed I picked "Butter Cream".

The only icing that I don't mind is that type that is on the top of those McCaine Frozen Chocolate Cakes.

I prefer butter cream, but if I want it, I have to bake myself. Most people in Germany used whipped cream on cakes.

When it comes to anything cupcake or baked or frosted, my answer is always "yes, please."

chocolate butercream!

Buttercream for me too!

I'm actually not sure, but I think the kind I can eat is made of the whipped topping- I hate regluar icing and will actually scape it off the cake

I really prefer ice cream cakes no icing that way!

I went through a stage in my twenties of stirring up Cool Whip and Instant Pudding as a frosting (usually lemon), and it was very good... but then I discovered a recipe for Champagne Buttercream, and the rest is history. It only had a touch of champagne in it, but it gave it such a delicate flavor... it was one of those things that make you close your eyes when you eat it.

Well...I'm going to sit on the fence, because I think it depends on the cake. If we're talking about devil's food, that has to have chocolate buttercream. But then I think of a lemon creation that my Dad used to make, that was somewhere between angel food and chiffon, with a gorgeous lemon filling -- that needed whipped cream -- the real stuff, mind you -- none of this hydrogenated that you spoon out of a tub. THAT I can do without entirely, thanks.

I voted "whipped", but realistically, I don't really like frosting at all. It's too sweet for the most part. Good cake shouldn't need frosting, anyway.
