I made the Rolled Buttercream recipe from CC, for the first time. What am I doing wrong? It is extremely greasy. When I flatten it out and picked it up, it disintegrates. Any helpful hints or advice? My easy mmf did the same thing, I threw it away.

THANKS,

Yes, it is very fragile to work with--and yup it will have that greasy/shiny look to it--the shortening helps with that. You can try adding more conf sugar to help stiffen it up or some people will do a 50/50 mix of rolled BC and fondant--to get the benefits of both.
