How do you adjsut the consitency of House Buttercream?
At the bakery we use a product called high-ratio shortening which increases the buttercreams ability to accept color or absorb liquid. It does not affect the taste. You can purchase high ratio shortening (a common brand name is Sweetex) online at http://www.countrykitchensa.com/ or http://www.cookscakeandcandy.com/ .
If you use Crisco then be aware that they have recently reformulated their recipe to eliminate trans-fats. House buttercream made from this new Crisco does not seem to have the same consistency as before.
If your buttercream is still soft after all of the ingredients have been added, while you are whipping it, add butter 1 tablespoon at a time until the buttercream is a spreadable consistency.
