[Sca-cooks] OOP Icing Question

[Lilinah]

OK, i'm not much of a cake baker or frosting maker, but, well, i get 
this "frisson" when someone says "buttercream" and in the same breath 
says "make with Crisco". Now, i am not qualified to comment on the 
comparative qualities of frosting made with Crisco vs. made with 
butter. But, well, i'm just wondering, how can one call it 
"buttercream" if there's no butter in it?
