a good recipe for rbc? I searched cc and nothing was found.

And what exactly is rbc used for? Making figures, covering cakes, etc.?????

Please enlighten me

My recipe doesn't have any "oils" in it. We love it. Try this recipe:

Rolled Buttercream:

1 C shortening
1 C light corn syrup
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
7-8 C powdered sugar

Beat shortening and corn syrup in mixing bowl until creamy.
Add vanilla and salt.
Mix in powdered sugar.
It will be VERY THICK!

Knead until smooth. It is greasy, wear gloves.

It is easy to color.

Store wrapped in plastic wrap AND in an airtight container in the fridge several weeks or in the freezer several months.

It deforsts quickly.

I'm glad this came up, I'm thinking of diving into the waters of rolled buttercream. never tried it before!

With RBC do you have to have a KA or will it work with a hand mixer?

Here's another thread on rolled buttercream:

Missyek's link provides recipes for RBC that don't require the use of a stand mixer.

Thanks everyone!
