It may look prettier, but I'm not about to pay more money on something that most people just peel off.
Here the cake I am planning to do for our wedding, it's covered with buttercream. I could do fondant, but buttercream will be easier to do and tastier.
I think buttercream cakes can be even prettier. :) Here are the cakes we're going to try to make for the wedding: (ALL from iambaker.net)
(The dome on top of this one)
@GeorgiaTeacup: thank you.
@honeyoats22: those cakes are so pretty, it will be fun to do them. It's a rose cake, beautiful.
@KendallR10: if you look at the 1st, 3rd, and 5th tiers of the cake couawilou posted, i think that's about as smooth as buttercream gets... i think. i could be wrong.
@honeyoats22: any idea what the cake flavor is for the rose cake? that cake looks like it tastes pretty awesome and is pretty to look at too.
@GeorgiaTeacup: I'm not sure, but here's the tutorial for the ROSE CAKE
She also has a tutorial for how to do vertical layers (most cakes have horizontal). I highly recommend checking out the cakes on her blog. She does tutorials for most of them, too. 
@GeorgiaTeacup:I just checked, and I'm pretty sure it's red velvet & white cake.
I personally hate the taste of fondant and find that 'real' cakes look so much more authentic and beautiful. We are doing this sunflower cupcake/cake type thing..kind of hard to explain but will be cheap, easy and fit our sunflower/summer theme!
I wish I could get on my other computer for a better shot, but ours was buttercream, not fondant. I'm really not a fan of it at all.
@beingmrsburns:Not a fan of what? Your cake is fabulous!
@missbeachbum:awesome!
@AEMalmostK:very nice, very smooth.
The rose cake idea is awesome--I've got to try that!
@ellabee: Oh no, I loved our cake! I mean not a fan of fondant. :)
Ours was dark chocolate ganache for the top and bottom layers and white chocolate ganache for the middle. 
Ours was made by a starter company and we paid next to nothing for it. We wanted it to taste good...we had buttercream icing with chocolate and white cake.
I am so excited by this thread!
We're having a 4 tier buttercream cake made and these pics are making me more confident of my decision!
Those are some really beautiful cakes... You know I just learned recently (like a few weeks ago) That you peel fondant off.. I thought it was interesting. I never knew.
@organizedbride11: you could eat it ... but it typically tastes really gross. Marshmallow fondant is tolerable but is not as hardstanding as standard fondant.
I actually really like the imperfect look of buttercream, or other non-fondant cakes. We're having a version of buttercream for ours...will post pics after next weekend!!
Here's mine! White cake with a berry and lemon curd fillings in each layer!
Ours was buttercream and quite smooth! The flourishes are piped chocolate ganache.
Chocolate cake with tahitian vanilla (top), raspberry cream (middle) and chocolate macadamia(bottom) fillings. Buttercream frosting...it was yummy
@missbeachbum: Cupcake-cakes! :) They're pretty rad if done well.
I don't know what the hell kind of frosting we had, but it wasn't fondant. We had little monogrammed petit fours made at a local grocery store.
DH has never liked fondant, so we chose buttercream in a simple textured design. It was light and smooth and yummy as hell.
Loved all of these cakes! I heard fondant does not taste that great so I was hoping to do an all buttercream cake as well.
@7-9-11bride: I love you cake you are making me re think my cupcake idea
but here is my insperation the top is buttercream i think
