I need a buttercream recipe asap. One that is bnot too sweet and does not use too much powdered sugar and too much crisco. thanks for any replys

A crisco-based icing *IS* powdered sugar and crisco, so I'm not sure what you mean by "not much" of either of those.

People tell me mine isn't "sweet" (whatever that means, 'coz it's made of sugar ya know!) http://forum.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-6992-Indydebis-Crisco-Based-Buttercream-Icing.html

Thanks your recipe does look waybetter than the one I have. I will try it.

I used Indydebi's buttercream on a baby shower cake I made, and it was a hit with the crowd. It's not super sweet, but sweet enough. I don't know how to describe it, really. I liked it.
