    Buttercream, we'll have some fondant accents since they don't melt easy but it tastes wayyyy too sugary lol

    I love the designs of fondant but I hate the taste. Much prefer to eat buttercream but I don't know if buttercream will melt if it's a hot day in August. I'm still deciding what I'm gonna do.

    Fondant looks a lot nicer in application but tends to not taste as good (unless you buy Duffs brand)

    I love the clean look of fondant, and the decorating possibilities... but oh my gawd you can not beat the taste of yum yum yum buttercream. Definitely going with buttercream frosting for us.

    Buttercream, hands down. I know fondant is usually edible, but it tastes gross and would be harder to cover up if there are any little mishaps during transportation.

    Buttercream looks more rustic and classical. Fondant looks more elegant and classy. Both are nice!

    Buttercream for sure. Less sweet and soft to the touch.

    Buttercream. The look of fondant is to die for but I'm not a fan of how thick it is.

    Buttercream. You can make amazing fondant cakes for sure, but most people I know don’t like the taste of it. I love the taste of fondant though
