I am making a wedding cake in May and I need to find a good buttercream recipe that holds up, I have been trying new buttercreams and everything "melts" I was thinking about maybe using BETTERCREAM but read somewhere that it doesnt hold uo very well either. Anyone know of anything good? I was looking at Indydebi's cakes and wow Thats the icing I need!lol
Here's my icing .... it has NEVER melted on me. Ever. I'm confident you will love it.

of course I am partial to mine: (I no longer sift and the end of the thread was lost in the server crash)
I use indydebi's recipe and love it however, I use hiratio instead of crisco and sugarshack's hot creamer mixture instead of milk. It's the creamiest icing I've made and I love the way it crust.
Hmmmm.... I'l gave to give this a try!
I love SugarShacks and actually went out at lunch today and got a box of dreamwhip so that I can try out Indydebi's! I have heard nothing but rave reviews on them both! 
Though it's not the most sophisticated icing, I'm a fan of the Wilton 1/2 and 1/2 with a touch of violet added to make it super white. This icing WILL NOT MELT, but you really need to be an expert at the Viva or Melvira method to make it come out awesome. Everyone loves it though because of the real butter that's in it.
I buy "Dixie's" icing. Yummiest icing ever, super easy to decorate with, and a long shelf like. It's never caused a probem, even in Nebraska's heat and humidity!
Girl, I could eat Dixie's icing with a spoon until I keel over. I hate eating shortening-based icings (even my own recipe, which is what my customers rave over) but oh my, there's something so freaking yummy about Dixie's that I haven't been able to duplicate in my own.
I just tried IndyDebi's buttercream recipe but substituted water/powdered coffee creamer instead of milk and yum!!! Love it! Great consistency too for decorating.
IndyDebi -- would you happen to have a chocolate version of this recipe that you'd be willing to share?
Debi, does your frosting need to be in the fridge? I know some who use milk say yes but I've heard no as well.

It's got a cooked base, and the recipe was developed by her father. I never cared much for cake until I tried her icing. Now, YUMM! If she quits making it, I'll probably give up cake decorating and concentrate only on cookies.
