I always use the store brand butter to save some $. I use a 2 Cups butter 1 Cup shortening recipe, and I also only use hi ratio shortening. PM me if you need more help!

HI I AM GETTING READY TO MAKE MY FIRST BATCH OF BUTTERCREAM, SHOULD I USE PARKAY OR IMPERIAL FOR MY BUTTER, DOES IT MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
Well, in a batch I made one time of 1/2 butter and 1/2 Crisco butter, I used margarine (Blue Bonnett) and it was very good and creamy!
ok just finished making my buttercream. it's really sweet 1/2 butter and 1/2 crisco, with lemon for flavoring. is their anyway i can cut down on the sweetness
There's no getting around the fact that pwd sugar frosting extremely sweet. Adding a few tablespoons of heavy cream helps reduce the sweetness and improves the texture. Try adding a little regular milk to your batch. h th
ok cake is all done and have left my house.
to reduce the sweetness i added another stick of butter and more lemon extract, i also added a tsp of coco powder only because i was trying to make my color darker .
She was surprise that i made the buttercream myself. i did a football pic, nothing special
You did a great job on the cake! I use half and half to thin my icing. I also use almond flavoring and feel that helps with the sweetness issue.
