Directions
Wilton Buttercream Icing,A great icing that we used in Wilton Cake Decorating Class. Would produce amazing results everytime. Thinning is done easily by adding water. This recipe makes “stiff” consistency. To make “medium” add one tablespoon milk or water. To make “thin” icing (perfect consistency for decorating a cake with the basic coating) Add two tablespoons of milk or water. If you want pure white icing, which is the perfect base to tint, use the white crisco shortening and any clear vanilla extract (wilton makes a great one). Using any others will give a faint creamy color that may affect the shade you try and tint with. Using water will give you a stable product that needs no refridgeration and the icing will keep indefinately in the fridge if you keep it in a covered container. If it dries out in the fridge you can always just add a bit of water to bring it back to the consistency you need. If you over thin at any time, just add more icing sugar to thicken. Very versatile product!,This buttercream is absolutely horrible. It tastes like vegetable shortening, I had to add another 3/4 cup butter, and it is barely sweet, and I had to add another cup if sugar! When decorating my cake, it caused so many problems. The icing melts SUPER fast making it hard to decorate with. This is probably the worst buttercream recipe I have used by far. I would NEVER reccomend this to ANYONE. Do not use this recipe. Use a different one!
