I was in a Publix supermarket the other day (while on vacation) and bought a single serving slice of white cake with white buttercream icing from their bakery.
I always eat cake, no matter where I am - not only because I love it, but because I am curious to sample what others are buying. I have to say that the cake and icing was absolutely delicious! I don't like Costco or Sam's cake, and quite frankly, haven't found I like much of anything that is mass produced - with the exception of the Publix cake I had a few days ago. It was moist, flavorful, and the buttercream was absolutely delicious. I don't even like regular buttercream, so much so, that I only offer IMBC to my clients.
Does anyone happen to know what kind of buttercream is used at Publix? No one there was able to tell me, but I am just dying of curiousity as to whether they make their own or whether they use a commercial premade product. I don't think I will stop offering IMBC exclusively, but kudos to the Publix folks for making (or buying) such a tasty product for use on thier cakes. I was definitely sold! I am stopping to get another piece before I head back home. Shhhh, don't tell anyone I said that!!!
Publix uses a "base" then adds to it. The base has shortening and vanilla and milkpwder and preservatives. They add butter , water and pwd sugar to it.
I have a b.c. that is similar, I will pm you. You may like it, or not. It is soft, not crusting, not too sweet, and a bit whipped.
cakequeen50, would you be so kind as to pm that great sounding recipe to me.
Pretty please....
cakeqeen50 I would also love to have that recipe if you could pm me. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Supposedly, Publix will sell you some of their buttercream.
Here in Tennessee, it's $4/lb.
Cake Queen...Here in Ca too please at [email protected] if you don't post here on CC. Many thanks.
cakequeen50...thanks a bunch for the recipe. I'll let you know how I like it. Thanks again!!
OMG!!! I can't believe there are so many requests for this.
Well here it is, again it is NOT Publix's recipe, it is only similar!
I use Crisco and a tiny bit of high ratio, but it can be easily made with just Crisco.
3 cups plus 4 oz shortening (or 3 cups short. and 3 sticks of butter)
2 sticks butter
_______________mix til creamy
2 pounds plus 6 ounces 10X sugar--------add slowly
2 tablespoons vanilla or 1 2/3 tB.imitation vanilla. add til combined, scraping bowl.
1/8 cup pasteurized egg white. add and mix on med-med hi. speed for about 3 minutes. It will be a tiny bit shiny from the egg whites.
Also, Publix makes up big batches of this and before the decorator uses it, they add some simple syrup and re-whip it for a bit til smooth.
HTH
