Directions for the Best Buttercream Frosting

Before starting, make sure your Crisco is fresh. Smell it to be sure it has not gone rancid. Opened Crisco can develop a bad taste and bad odor over time. Bad Crisco equals bad buttercream frosting.

Cream Crisco and margarine together with egg beaters. Add vanilla and powdered sugar, beating very well with to create a smooth frosting.

To decorate your cake purchase supplies from a cake or craft store. Wilton gives complete instructions on how to choose and use decorating bags.
