Hello. I make a buttercream with 3 sticks of butter, 1 c. shortening, and 3 c. confectionet's sugar.
I frosted my cake an sliced it, put the slices in a tupperware container last night. It has been on my kitchen counter with a/c since then. It will be eatentonight.
I read somewhere that this can stay out 2 days. Is that true?
Thank you.
Btw, it tastes delicious, its creamy and less sweet than traditional ABC.
you have nearly equal parts fat to sugar -- that is amazing to me -- I do one cup fat to 7 cups sugar aka two pounds -- a lot of people do two cups fat to 7 cups sugar -- but wow that is a very high ratio to moi --
but yes it can stay out of the fridge
Exactly what K8 said. That’s just 1/2 cup more butter than I use so it should taste good:) Using that much does make a creamy goodness Indeed it is fine for several days at room temp but refrigerate any leftovers to keep it fresh It also can be frozen
kakeladi -- you use two cups fat to two pounds sugar yes?
she is using 2.5 cups fat to (less than) one pound sugar --
unless there's a typo
when I said that was amazing I meant it like omg not so cool -- i'm amazed/shocked at that 
my arteries are constricting just thinking about it 
I realized that just after hitting the send button :) No, I use 2 cups butter & 2 cups shortening (Crisco) with 2 pounds of sugar and it is very creamy, smooth and tastes good :) I use the recipe I posted on this site called "2 of everything". Before that I used a recipe that called for plain (UNflavored) yogurt but now I can't remember the exact ingredients & portions.
3-4 cups confectioners sugar is one pound — so you use one cup fat per half pound aka 1.5 to 2 cups sugar
Thank you all! Yeah....too much butter but tasted delucious. Kept putting it in the fridge so it would harden abit instead of adding more sugar.I tried the 1 c butter to the 1 c shortening with the 4 c conf sugar and fiund it too sweet. That is why i cut down the sugar to 3 cups. But then with kess sugar it tasted greasier hence uping the butter. I am so glad that it can stay out!
But i wilk try it again with 2-1/2 c butter to 1 c. Shortening and the 3 c sugar
try this recipe someday when you get a chance

you can get white balsamic possibly at your grocery store and Walmart or here:
https://www.amazon.com/Alessi-White-Balsamic-Vinegar-Pack/dp/B00EHMXH70?th=1
this is two bottles 16 oz total for 11 bucks & delivery unless you have amazon prime no delivery charge
and it's one cup butter to 2 pounds (7 cups) powdered sugar -- tastes like cream cheese icing w/o the bother and provides balance to the intense sweet mess, sweetness
