I have an order for a cake, but the daughter of the woman ordering the cake is a might fussy. She would like a grocery store icing. Too me one that tastes like pure shortening, however that is what she wants. Does anyone know how to make an icing that is whipped and not too sweet? I would appreciate any feedback you might have. Anything I have seen on the internet includes boiling corn syrup...thanks, sue

I tried the Whimsical House Buttercream & I personally think it taste like the bakery icing & it is easy to make too & not too sweet.

thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately I live in Canada and cannot get to a Sam's or anyother store that we don't have here, quickly. I live in a border city so I will venture states side shortly, just not soon enough for the cake and I will go to Sam's. I will try googling Whimsical House Buttercream and see what I get. Thanks again...sue
