Good day everyone! I'm live in the Bahamas and I've been into cake decorating for a while now. However in the Bahamas is extremely hotttttt! Unfortunately heat and icing are not very good friends! I'm trying to find a stable buttercream that would not run off the cake when its too hot, has good flavor and is not too girtty. I read alot about emulsified/sweetex shortening but in the Bahamas NO ONE on none of the islands carries this emulisifed shortening, Just Crisco, bakerite and a few others. Can I get some recipe help here PLEASEEEEE!
Have you tried Indydebi's Crisco based buttercream? I've used it a couple times, but then I tried ganache awhile back and haven't really used much buttercream since then. I liked it when I used it and I know a lot of people on here really like it. Although I didn't use it during hot weather, they say it holds up very well.

I would suggest trying Indydebbie's recipe. It holds up great the the heat and tastes great. I sometimes exchange a little of the milk for some flavoured coffee cream and it is absolutely devine!
haha kathie-d you beat me to it 
Well there you go, two votes for Indydebi's recipe 
Thank you all! I'm in the kitchen trying out that recipe right now! Hope it works! 
Thanks again!
