Can I Mix 2 Batches Of Buttercream
Decorating By dandelion56602 Updated 23 Oct 2007 , 12:40pm by dandelion56602
It's been a few months since I've decorated a cake & ran into the Crisco problem of it not crusting like I like it. (It just seems soooo greasy). So, I was wondering if I made a batch w/ GV, which does crust, if I could mix the 2 batches together & get an ok batch. I've had success w/ 1/2 Crisco & 1/2 GV, but just wondering if I can combine after the fact of mixing everything else into it? Does this make sense?
Thanks
Check your GV before you use it, they have gone 0 trans fat also.
So far I have been able to find Kroger Shortening with trans fat in it. You might want o check the store brands, be careful they are marketing the shortening with animal fat right next to the vegetable shortening.

I tried walmart brand - is that the Great Value? - that had 0 transfats and I thought it was too soft and greasy. I began using new 2/3 Crisco mixed with 1/3 GV and it's fine now!
This was bought a few months ago & it's the full fat. It's as stiff as a girl's hair in the 80's. Thanks. I'll definitely be mixing the 2 together then!!! Just praying it comes out b/c I'll be making cakes for a fun fest & hope to get a few orders after the fact.
