I hear so many people talk about using so many things to flavor there buttercream filling such as orange sodas, jello, and many other things. what is your favorite?
I actually have a ton of Torani syrups and decided one day to use strawberry. They have a lot of flavors and if you have a Smart & Final by you, they usually have a bunch of flavors for like $4 a bottle.
Other than that the only thing I have used is extracts. 
I use Sugarshacks buttercream recipe and lately I've been experimenting with different flavors of coffee creamer. French vanilla is awesome and I just tried the Italian Sweet Cream which was really good too! So I just use the flavored creamer liquid and then I don't have to use the creme boquet.
I use Magic Line's butter vanilla flavor. Works good for me.
I love the almond....the smell is yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy
I actually make the batch of butter cream and then pour in torani to taste. If it thins it too much I have added more powdered suger to thicken it back up.
Im not sure, but I might use a different BC recipe than everyone here? It just has shortening, butter, vanilla, almond, butter flavor, salt and powdered sugar... Seems pretty standard.
I just figure you can play with the flavor as much as you want, if it tastes bad I throw it out and start with new ingrediants in the KA
My favorite buttercream is a berry buttercream. I actually use a strawberry daquri syrup and a frozen berry mix that has stawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries. I use is as a filling, and I swear if I didnt know it was pounds of butter I could eat the whole bowl by itself. 
Well I use a SMBC and I flavor with not only extracts but curds, fruit purees, liquers, and chocolates. Yup, I think that covers it.
