[Sca-cooks] OOP-Buttercream Frosting

[Fairy Tale Designs]

hehehe , having lived in the desert for going on a decade and having had my wedding cake made to withstand 110 degree weather, the crisco faux buttercream did  not melt. 
   
  I do believe we tweek the crisco/butter ratio a bit. But since it is a desert, the humidity is pretty much -0- so that might make a difference.  Hey but it is good for drying herbs and such.  Shoot they dry within 24 hours once picked sometimes

Objection noted. The thing is, she was looking for an icing that might
stand up to summer temperatures. Real butter won't, period. You have the
good sense to avoid a summer wedding at least. 

I've scored some interesting flavor extracts at the India Sweets store.
Rose, Jasmine, Cardamom... These might serve as diversionary tactics to
distract from crisco frosting. Just a thought. NO, not at your wedding,
just an idea for Helena's project.
