I just saw someone ask about keeping buttercream refrigerated. I was about to ask that also. Kinda scared it'll spoil with the butter recipe. I've never used butter for that reason and stuck with the wilton Recipe(crisco/butter flavoring). So I'll be keeping an eye on that question.
One of my questions is if Dawn's buttercream icing is really that much better than the wilton's one?? I always get LOTS of compliments on the wilton's one. I know I just need to make a batch of Dawn's and just try it for myself.
Another question is about the frozen buttercream transfer. I've been practicing on it. I like the technique. Having a little problem of making it look smooth though. When I press slightly on it and try to smooth it out, my design gets distorted and stretched looking. Would using the Wilton icing recipe have anything to do with it?? I've looked at Dawn's tutorial, but it's still not helping. Any suggestions would help alot.

The sugar acts as a preservative agent, also if you have salt in your recipe that also acts as a preservative agent.

I think that it is definetely better tasting than Wilton's. I got a LOT more compliments on Dawn's buttercream recipe than I have had on any other icing recipe.

I have yet to do a BCT, but the recipe that you are using might play a part in your issues. The best way to know is to make a recipe of Dawn's buttercream and try making a BCT again.
Hope this helps!
