Im in a very hot country, and a mixture of shortening and butter helps make a very stable buttercream frosting. I've made it a number of times already. And i cream the butter and shortening first for about 5 mins before adding icing sugar.

I want to thank you for this recipe. I have tried several and they were pretty bland, but this recipe is just awesome! I used it to make the icing for a Frozen themed cake and cupcakes for my niece and the taste is amaazing.

One of the very BEST frostings I have ever made. Very easy and not too sweet but very fluffy and creamy. I only did vanilla this time but I will be trying a few of your other combinations. LOVE IT...Thank you for sharing. DELICIOUS!!!!
