Hi!! Here is my favorite.....instead of using 2 1/2 cups of Crisco, I use 1 cup of butter at room temp. and 1 1/2 cups of Crisco. It is soooo good!

Hope that Helps, ~Denise
i liek the recipe from Whimsical bakehouse...mmmmm
This frosting is terrific, so light and airy -yummy!
1 cup butter
1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla (I would use clear)
3 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 cup additional powdered sugar (if necessary)
Whip butter until smooth.
Add 1 cup shortening.
Whip until fluffy.
Add vanilla, 3 cups powdered sugar and flour.
Whip until smooth.
May add up to one cup more powdered sugar to increase stiffness of frosting.
Decorate cake as desired.
(When I make this frosting I use 1 tsp vanilla, and 1 tsp almond extract...It tastes like a frosting reminiscient of sugar cookies...yum! It's very easy to make, and it holds shape beautifully! It's so light and airy and not sickingly sweet. The hardest problem I have w/ the recipe is not saying it is "my own"!)
what is that recipe cakefairy18?
Here is the recipe for the WBH buttercream:
Whimsical House Buttercream
6C confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
With a whisk attachment, add and whip at low speed:
1 cup boiling water (3/4 cup on hot days)
Whip until smooth and cool.
Add and whip until smooth:
2 3/4 cups high-ratio or regular vegetable shortening
6 ounces (1 1/2 stick) slightly chilled butter, cut into 1 inch pieces
Increase the speed to medium-high. Whip until light, fluffy, and doubled in volume (10 to 20 minutes)
The buttercream will almost fill a 5 quart mixing bowl.
HTH, ~Denise
If that WBH buttercream is the one I am thinking of, it tastes exactly like Twinkie filling, is so shiny and take color beautifully.....
Ia m assuming that the whipped buttercream one made with the butter substitutewould no longer be able to be kept for 3 months at room temperature?
Caryl - in regard to your question of whether the icing crusts, I wouldn't be able to say yes or no...I've used it once on cupcakes, and they disappeared so quickly!
