Enquiring. Making a wedding cake could I use frosting to fill and ice a cake

Hi Alicain

Please can you clarify whether your enquiry is about buttercream or frosting. ?

Buttercream icing can be used to fill and cover cakes. In the UK it is the preferred covering and filling over frosting ( USA).

Frosting is made with shortening like Crisco or Trex. It doesn’t have the same taste or mouth feel as buttercream. It is used in the USA for both covering and filling cakes, although buttercream has gained popularity there for taste.

Let me know if this helps. ?
