This is my favorite icing. I use 50/50 butter & shortening with a trace of violet coloring to cancel the yellow. Truly delicious. However... twice now I have had what appears to be oil "weeping " from the bottom of the frosting line & today I had rosettes slipping down the side of the cake. I have cut the water to 1/4 cup. I wish someone could tell me what's going wrong.
