This is a very good stable and tempature proven icing. It crusts very well, makes great flowers and decorations, colors very well and tastes great. It is a true bakery grade buttercream icing. I recommend using the exact ingredients for best results. The ingredients are all commercial bakery grade and provide wonderful results.

Where can I order brite white online?
Thanks
What is is Hi ratio shortening?
hi ratio shortening allows for more sugar to be incorporated into the icing. It contains trans fats but makes icing tastes the best. all the bakeries use it.
I finally got around to making this and loved it! I did add some vanilla to it and used the 10x sugar which probably yielded a smaller amount of icing.
Why do I have to use 6x sugar? I ordered the creme bouquet but would love to know what difference this makes to the icing? Thanks
I really would like to know where to buy the brite white and the name of a high ratio shortening
This is a fantastic recipe. I use the angel white icing base and alpine (high ratio) shortening.
