This is the best all shortening buttercream recipe that I have tried!! I found it on the Wilton forum. I made a few little changes to it. It crusts really well for the Viva method. I hope you like and enjoy it!!

My only problem with this recipe is that it smells like movie popcorn! I can't get rid of that smell because of the butter flavored popcorn salt. :[ Any suggestions?
