Always go with butter icing. Its sweetness is greater than fondant, and even if it's messier, it'll still be delicious for the guests.

I prefer fondant icing. You can do so much amazing things with the fondant, looks great for childrens parties.Butter Icing is then more appreciated with adults.The only solution is two cakes (that is what I always do!)
