......What is exactly is rolled buttercream......
......RBC is just American BC shored up with some extra powdered sugar and a bit of corn syrup......

I used to have the *Original* recipe for RBC - can't even think of the name of women who came up w/it way back in about the 1970s ? might even have been before thaticon_smile.gif Not sure if I might still have it or not. I'd have to unpack some 3 or 4 boxes to see if I could find it. It was in MBN (mailbox news magazines) WAY back icon_smile.gif

This is the recipe that I've used:

1 C Karo (light corn syrup)
1 C Shortening
½ tsp Fine Salt (popcorn salt)
½ tsp Extract of your choice (almond, lemon, orange.your choice)
1 tsp Clear Vanilla Extract
2 lb Powdered Sugar

Cream together shortening and Karo. Add salt and flavorings and mix well. Switching to the dough hook on your HEAVY DUTY mixer, add sugar, one cup at a time until combined. Mixture will be extremely thick. Turn-out dough and knead using more sugar if sticky for at least 2 minutes. Voila!

Store in airtight container and/or Ziploc bag either at room temperature or the refrigerator.

Warning: Do not attempt to make this recipe in a smaller mixer....must be a Heavy Duty mixer such as Kitchen Aid or Viking.

*******BUT, I usually just take some leftover AMBC, add in some PS until it's pretty stiff, and then add in the light corn syrup until it has a bit of stretch to it.

I have used Marsha Winbecklers recipe . I have her book, etc. I like the taste. I think it is the same recipe that BlakesCakes has. I can,t remember if Marsha came up with it, but i think she did. I will have to try the butterclay. If Sharon says it good, that is all i need to try it. Thanks Sharon for your input.

Just too pricey for my blood, especially when I fell that I can get the same results using leftover BC.

I now remember the name of the lady who I guess originated a Rolled Buttercream - I'm almost sure it's Charolette Collins - but like I said that was back in the 1960s or 1970s.
