I have done that before, but you end up with a slightly yellow tinted icing, like an ivory color. I suggest you use this if you are not looking for a pure white color.

My experience is that it makes the frosting a little yellow and way too soft. I use it once in a while when I make chocolate buttercream...just because I am adding the cocoa and that thickens it up a bit. Used it for a wedding cake once when I first started doing cakes 30 some years ago.....not a good experience...lol.

I did once and was not happy with the end result. Tasted way to much like artificial butter and came out way too yellow.

yes, And I will never do it again . THe butter flavored has a higher water content and if your a texture nut like i am you will be able to tell the difference . My icing was very gritty to my pallete I say stay away from the butter crisco

I did it once because that was all I had and the only problem is that it was a light yellow color. Everything else was fine.

I LOVE butter flavored crisco and use it all the time. If I am not looking for a white icing I use 1/2 butter and 1/2 butter crisco and the color is lovely. Please see my Easter basket cake in my photos. No color has been added to the buttercream, what you are seeing is 1/2 butter and 1/2 butter flavored crisco. It pipes beautifully for borders AND flowers and crusts very nicely. Works great for chocolate icing as well. Best of luck to you, you might want to give it a try thumbs_up.gif

I actually was making the Vive method BC recipe (found here on CC), and made it with one stick of reg. crisco and one stick of butter crisco- just by chance, not by choice. Anyhoo- I was afraid that the yellow butter crisco was going to turn my blue icing to green icing, but it didn't!!! And it tasted great! HTH! icon_smile.gif

Thanks again. I think that now I will try the 1/2 butter crisco and 1/2 reg crisco. The color I am going to make needs to start out as ivory or light yellow anyway.
