Traditional or Best Creme

[Anonymous]

My local market calls it best crème, but I think it’s buttercream?

Anyway, these are the two choices of cake and cupcake frosting on offer.

Are you a traditional or a best crème person?

I’ve never heard of it, but a search turns up “Bettercreme,” mostly sold to cake decorators. I’ll stick to traditional homemade buttercream vs these ingredients:
HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (PALM, PALM KERNEL, COCONUT AND/OR COTTONSEED), WATER, COCOA ALKALI PROCESSED, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF THE FOLLOWING: SODIUM CASEINATE (A MILK DERIVATIVE), SUGAR, POLYSORBATE 60, CARBOHYDRATE GUM, SALT, TO PRESERVE FRESHNESS (POTASSIUM SORBATE), SOY LECITHIN, POLYGLYCEROL ESTERS OF FATTY ACIDS, ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR, SOY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE, XANTHAN GUM.
