Has anyone ever used the crusting BC recipe for a FBCT? Success...horrors? I'm making a cake tomorrow and have never used this technique.
This is the recipe I was going to use...will it work for a FBCT?
2 lbs. sifted powdered sugar
1/2 cup or 1 stick butter, softened.
1-1/2 cups solid vegetable shortening
2 tbsp. clear vanilla extract
1/3 cup water for icing cake -OR- 1/4 cup for stiff consistency.
1/4 tsp. almond extract
Oh and what type consistency must the frosting be for a FBCT?
I've use the all shortening buttercream and the crusting buttercream.. Make sure you wipe a little shortening onto your wax paper first.. to make sure it doesnt stick.. and to get the smoothest look.. once you have filled the area.. place a piece of wax paper onto the tranfer and rub it down gently.. let it freeze and peel the wax paper off. works great everytime!
I don't see why your recipe wouldn't work. It is very close to mine, but I use all crisco.
I use a thin medium when I do my FBCT.
I think I need to go to bed...
