This is going to sound nuts, but is there a way to get your frosting as smooth and creamy as Pillsbury frosting. Apparently my own family likes Pillsbury's texture better than mine. I don't mind telling you, when they said that, it hurt. 
I haven't had any complaints from any clients. My own family! 
So does anyone know if Pillsbury makes theirs a lot different from the way we make it. Family can be so cruel.
Well, canned frosting has a lot of binders and other artificial ingredients....
Don't know that you can reproduce canned using ingredients found in homemade b/c.
Do you think they might enjoy a whipped frosting. (It would be soft, smooth, creamy and non-crusting.)
Here are some highly rated CC whipped frosting recipes:

HTH
P.S. Seriously overwhipping your favorite American b/c recipe (with a tad extra liquid) will make it softer, smoothing and less crusting.
