Oh yes, when it 1st came out. It is sooo yellow you don't get white frosting:( And to me the taste was rather artificial. IMHO one is better off using the regular.
Thanks, great question! I always wondered if the butter flavor would work well for frosting....
I believe years ago, there was a thread on that subject and it was HIGHLY recommended against using it in buttercream. It IS NOT be a 100% substitute for butter in recipes.
It's not just the lack of butter flavor that makes shortening a poor substitute for butter. It doesn't melt at the same temperature as butter and has a greasy feel in the mouth, which affects taste perception. Most supermarkets use it in their frostings and cakes to maximize profit and extend shelf life, but it's also the primary reason why supermarket cakes don't taste very good. It's also the reason why supermarket cookies from their bakery don't taste like homemade, even if they add fake butter flavoring.
