SPR.. fondant vs buttercream cake for smash cake?
I know that fondant has a rep for tasting bad (i've never had it) Is fondant edible?
I edited because I forgot to mention that I was considering fondant for DS smash cake.

Fondant is edible, but it actually tastes pretty bland to me. My DS loves it though  and it makes the cakes look smoother and prettier IMO.

i looooove fondant, but a child will definitely have more fun (and better pics!) with buttercream. Fondant can't be spread/smashed/gooped on faces - it peels like a sheet.

I do not think fondant will be very good for a cake smash.

Butter Cream....
You want gooey and messy...Colorful too...
If you are buying the cake make sure that you dont get an "air brushed" cake. Im not a baker so Im not sure about what the dye is...all I know is....it takes forever to get the dye off of them from that.
I always suggest parents stay away from fondant for the most part unless they are using a smaller version of the official cake....

ITA - definitely do buttercream for a smash cake.

I would do buttercream. I think fondant tends to be thicker also--harder for little fingers to smash. Also not as tasty IMO.
