when a recipe calls for shortening, what does it mean? Butter, solid crisco, vegetable oil, canola oil, margerin. There are so many choices...AHHHH!
I have to make a white cake and my mix is not working out. I am going for a scratch white cake and the one I just made I used butter and the cake was full of bubbles. Not wedding cake consistancy, not perfect, not one I would sell.
I am starting to panic a little. The cake is due tomorrow and I have already baked two that I just will not accept.
Please help!!!!
On the bright side, I can make a ton of cake balls. 
Shortening usually means solid crisco (brand name, there are others). Good luck
Thank you so very much. I will have to try that first thing tomorrow. I am too tired and stressed to even attempt anymore tonight.
Sometimes that your best bet! Know when to walk away!!!!!
Good luck tomorrow!!!
Solid vegetable shortening like Crisco, Wesson etc.
