Re: how much bc?
I do a thicker coat for a couple of reasons - 1) I figure most people won't eat the fondant and it would be nice to have a little more buttercream to go with the cake. 2) If I have a chocolate or red velvet cake and I'm covering it with white fondant, I like a thicker coat of buttercream to help mask the color of the cake, especially if it's a 'crumby' cake and especially if I end up rolling the fondant a little thin to help ease cutting the cake.
