Mock Whipped Cream Frosting with Variations
5 tbsp. flour

Cream together 1/2 cup of shortening and 1/2 cup of butter or margarine until light and fluffy. To that add 1 cup granulated sugar a little at a time and beat until the sugar is dissolved. THIS MAY TAKE AS LONG AS TEN MINUTES - BE PATIENT. When dissolved or near to being dissolved, add the cooled flour mixture and beat until fluffy, then add vanilla.

Okay so this might seem like a stupid question but what is bettercream?
At first when i read a few posts with the word BETTERCREAM I just thought it was a typo on their part but then i noticed alot of people were calling it that, so not everyone is a bad speller haha thats when I figured it out duurrrrr
HipnotiqGlamour, Rich's Bettercreme is a ready made type of frosting/filling. I'm sure if you do a search in the forums you will find more info I do know that you can purchase it in 2 forms: liquid and whipped.
Micnmax thanks for the recipes. I can't get the bettercream either and have been wanting to try it on cupcakes.
akgirl10...yes, I have tried the plain version of this recipe & love it! It's not too sweet and is very fluffy (IMO it's perfect for cupcakes )
I used it as both...I mixed some homemade Almond Roca pieces to use as filling and flavoured it with some Almond Roca syrup for frosting (I have a pic of the cupcakes in my photos)
it looked good!
I was wondering if i could mix it with blueberry for the filling and if it takes color well. i'm gonna use it for a party tomorrow.
Thanks for sharing these- I can't get Bettercreme in my town either. I'll have to try this on my next cupcakes!
quick question. I noticed one saying that it needed refrigeration what about the other recipes? Can they stay outside or do they need to be refrigerated?
Thanks for sharing those recipes, they sound delicious.
so is this recipe kindof like the whipped icing that you can get on grocery store cakes...for example Lowe's Foods?
I just made a batch and it's so good. it's so light and fluffy, not too sweet. thanks!
I think I'm going to try them today- it's actually cool enough this morning I can bake before it gets too hot! If anyone finds out about the refigeration I would love to know. Thanks!
it tasted really good. i like that it's light and fluffy. not too sweet and very lemony. i love lemon! that's a white chocolate sour cream cupcake with blueberry filling. so the cupcake was quite dense and the frosting was light. complimented it very well.
great! I've been looking for this as well, I really love that light taste of the grocery store icing, but would like to be able to make my own w/o all of the additional preservatives. thanks so much!
Well, I goofed!
I made the top recipe on Saturday, stuck it in the fridge, intending to make cupcakes later in the day.
And it is still there!
If I can find time tomorrow to make cupcakes, would the filling still be okay?
I made thechocolate version! I actually just followed the lemon recipe and added a couple tablespoons of dutch cocoa powder. it turned out really good. I made cake balls and used this as the binder and OMG i hate to say it but... I ate all of the cake balls by myself. this is SO NOT good for my diet.
thank you so much for posting these recipes. I have been wanting to try this but can't get it where I am at either... not that I know of anyway.
