re: BUTTERCREAM UNDERNEATH FONDANT - HELP!

I can definitely understand your frustration. I use chocolate ganache with my chocolate cakes. I, nor my family, like white ganache on a lighter cake. Way too sweet. Chocolate tho is the key. I use buttercream as well, and have had this happen. I discovered a great white chocolate buttercream recipe on Craftsy. What a difference. Makes your buttercream firm up, but doesn’t make your icing too sweet. Here’s the link:

Hope this helps.
