[Sca-cooks] OOP Icing Question

The actual recipe uses butter, but I tend to substitute Crisco when doing
wedding cakes to get the pure white icing color instead of an off white.  A
person could get the same flavor as buttercream by using butter flavoring,
but it still wouldn't technically make it buttercream. I personally think of
it as a wedding cake and practice icing myself, it's based on the
buttercream recipe with a single substitution.
