Frostings and Fondant

Wilton's Buttercream Icing - I'm a fan of this recipe.  I like the consistency to work with and the taste always gets rave reviews.  I've also used Almond or Coconut flavouring instead of the clear Vanilla. 

Marshmallow Fondant - Tastes way better than most purchased fondant icing and is WAY less expensive! ... oh, and it's a lot of fun to make as long as you don't mind getting a bit messy. You do have to plan ahead because the fondant texture is much better if it has a chance to sit overnight before you need to use it.  If I don't have time to make it, the Duff Goldman fondant is really good, especially if you have a Michael's coupon handy.
