I need to make BC but, it will have to sit out in an office all day. Should I use butter in my BC or All Crisco? I use a mix of both normally.
I use a 50/50 Crisco/Butter ration in my BC.....and unless your office isn't climate controlled for some reason~ the cake should be perfectly fine.
I always use more butter than shortening and have no problems with it sitting out. The salt in the butter and all the sugar in the icing act as preservatives.

I use 50/50 and sometimes I buy the butter flavored crisco and use it instead of the regular and it give it a wonderful taste...smooth and a nice light yellow tint.
If you are concerned about the yellow tint, there is a thread that taks about adding violet to (a dab at a time) to cancell out the yellow tint. That is if you are looking for a white icing.
Thanks but I'm not concerned. It's beautiful color. It's so light. But I thank you for the advice which will help since I like the flavor better using that butter flavored crisco I might just have to get some violet. The flavor of it is smoother so I'll win both ways-lol. White and yummy. Thanks.
