I was just wondering why it seems that margarine is not used more in buttercream frosting recipes...any ideas or reasons this is? I am thinking it would be a suitable substitution for shortening or at least with shortening...

It has a different water content so affects recipes differently.  Possibly a different melting point too.

AAnd because margarine is gross.

So is shortening.

Butter is always better!
