good morning everyone.....I have three cakes to decorate for this coming weekend and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how I can make a lot of butter cream at one time????? I tried doubling the ingredients but it just makes it taste like it has more butter but does nt seem like more.....the recipe i use is
1 stick of butter
1/2 margerine
1/3 crisco and 3 cups of pwdered sugar
1 tblsp vanilla.....I am really stuck because I dont want to have to do this over and over again to make the amount of butter cream i need.....I tried the Swiss butter cream method but for some reason egg whites do not like me
icon_sad.gif pls help me and thank you in advance for all of your help....you all are amazing and i hope to one day be at your level or close to it icon_wink.gif

I use an all crisco recipe and I have made it using 4 cups (1lb) of powder sugar up to 4lbs of powder sugar with out any problems or changes in taste.

Did you maybe leave something out or accidently not double one of the other ingredients?

Have you tried IndyDebi's BC? I made it for the first time over the weekend after reading over and over again on here how good it is, and I was so in love with it, I had to send her a message telling her how much I loved it.

Indy's recipe is great, and so is sugarshack's. I use sugarshack's for the most part, and I fill the mixer full. (6 qt.) which makes a lot of buttercream.

What size mixer do you have?

I love love love Sugarshacks buttercream it is so smooth and easy to use .The recipe makes quite a lot of buttercream . I make multiple batches and keep it stored so that I have it on hand when I need it.

I also use Sugarshacks recipe for a 6qt, and one of the things I LOVE about it is that it makes SO MUCH. I rarely ever have to make a double batch between what I have on hand, and a fresh batch. 6qts of icing is a lot lol .

did I read somewhere that you can use Sugarshack's with crisco, but use less liquid?
