Best Recipe For Buttercream Roses?
Decorating By projectqueen Updated 15 May 2006 , 12:49pm by jcardel
I usually make the 1/2 butter, 1/2 crisco recipe for bc because I like the taste much better than all crisco.
I'm going to make a practice batch of icing to try to make some bc roses. Is there any particular recipe that's easier to make roses with?
Thanks.
Yes!!! I made them with butter ther other day and had a terrible time. To me, the all crisco recipe is much easier to work with. The recipe I used is as follows (Not Wilton):
1 2/3 cups Crisco
2 tsp clear vanilla
1/4 tsp popcorn salt
2 lbs powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp water
In large mixing bowl, cream together Crisco, water, vanilla and salt. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time till creamy. This is a stiff icing and works great for piping roses.
Thanks so much for posting that recipe. I'm going to give it a try!
