Help for tonight please!!
I'm sorry to start a new thread but I've read through so many, I've totally confused myself. I need a smooth crusted surface to rival fondant (I dislike fondant). I have found more than one recipe marked as "the perfect crusting" BC. I need to ice and then make flowers, etc. with same icing if possible. Here are the ones I see most often. Which one is the better one to use? Note: We've had nothing but rain for 3 days causing me more problems :(.
1st Recipe:
2lbs powdered sugar
2 cups crisco shortening
1 pkg dream whip
2 tsp clear vanilla flavoring
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp clear corn syrup
2 Tbsp to ¼ cup flour
Whip up till fluffy. No need for refrigeration but it is fine in the fridge as well. Tastes great, not so sweet and crusts well. I have tried so many and this is now my main buttercream.

2nd Recipe:
2 lb powered sugar
1-1/3 cup crisco
3 tbsp powdered dream whip
2 or 3 Tbsp clear vanilla
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk, for consistency
AThe second recipe will be stiffer due to less fat, so it will most likely crust better for you. It will be more of a medium to stiff consistency than the first one. You could then smooth it with a hot spatula or a bench scraper let it crust and use the viva method to make it look like fondant. There is a tutorial on this site to use that method
