Buttercream for Coating and Decorations
This is the recipe I've been using for a long time for coating cakes, generally before covering them with fondant. Buttercream is also great for decorations, perhaps with added food coloring, for example, for roses or flowers using special Russian piping tips. In this case, it's flavored with vanilla, but you can also use rum or cocoa depending on what you're making.

If you prepare it in advance, keep it in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it. In this case, you'll need to wait for it to soften again.
