anyone ever think all the crisco used in caking is gross?? I just used a whole large can on one cake. Its a big cake but still...... 
Ilg the whole thing? How big was the cake? I only have used it in a banana bread recipe I have but it's only 1/2 cup. lol But it was good.
YES!!!!
While I love caking, all the shortening and butter used sometimes make my heart hurt. 
its in the white cake recipe plus all the icing.
I personaly cannot stand greasy, all crisco, buttercream!
Thanis why I prefer to make mine all out of butter.
It helps living up in Maine where the tems and humidity are not all that bad 95% of the year!!
is there another option for making buttercream, besides shortening?
How about butter? 
I find butter makes it too soft,anyoneelse have that prob??? and can you leave butter buttercream out all day??
Personally, with the heat and humidity here, I'm glad that Crisco exists. I spent too many years using butter in my frosting and watching it fall off the sides of the cake on the way to the car. I am just glad I found Indydebi's recipe which doesn't have any butter but doesn't leave your mouth coated with that shortening feeling.
There's a big difference between lard and Crisco...sometime when you're at the grocery store pick up a block of lard and just smell it...it's usually wrapped in foil but not sealed that well and that smell is what it tastes like...of course, I use lard when I make tamales because you can't get that authentic flavor in the masa otherwise, but I wouldn't put lard in a cake.
and can you leave butter buttercream out all day??
If it's like the butter we make in the UK (just butter, icing sugar and flavouring) then yes, you can.
After all, I don't refrigerate my butter (that I use daily for bread, toast, etc).
I make mine with half butter half crisco and it works great. Everyone finds crisco so gross, but it's vegetable oil and butter is animal fat. Either way neither one is very good for you. I just like the taste better with butter in it. And I don't think anyone is eating cake thinking of it as health food
