Sometimes I add more milk, then sugar, then milk, then sugar etc. until it's perfect. I would like to say that I use no shortening but I must admit that shortening does give the icing an appealing texture and appearance and it holds up so well. So that's why I tend to put a scoop of Crisco in there. So basically, I have no set recipe for my buttercream, I just kind of tailor it according to the item that I'm icing and how much butter I have in the fridge!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100845188874598788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6022397958480054895.post-67151457165456434162009-11-20T00:14:56.666-08:002009-11-20T00:14:56.666-08:00These look great Heidi.
