Shortening Comparison - Which One Tastes Best In Buttercream?

I love me some American Buttercream! It is a butter and shortening based frosting. The type of shortening you use in your icing makes a big difference. I have been using Sweetex High Ratio Shortening for years now. But I heard that Walmart makes a shortening comparable to high ratio shortening, so I had to try it out! In this video, I will compare the Walmart shortening against Crisco All Vegetable shortening and Sweetex High Ratio shortening to see which one gives the best result! If you enjoy my tutorials, I'd be so grateful if you'd Buy Me A Coffee! ☕🙏 https://www.buymeacoffee.com/KarolynsKakes Get my FREE Birthday Cake Design Blueprint here: https://mailchi.mp/b9329a515f6f/birthday-cake-design-blueprint TOOLS I USED (some items are not exactly what I used, but a good substitute): CRISCO - https://www.walmart.com/ip/Crisco-All-Vegetable-Shortening-48-Oz-Can/10308181 SWEETEX (Sold in 1.5 lb, 5 lb, 25 lb and 50 lb options) - https://collabs.shop/ikgzvk WALMART SHORTENING - (Get the one that just says SHORTENING and NOT the one that says ALL VEGETABLE SHORTENING!!) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Prepared-from-Meat-Fats-Vegetable-Shortening-42-oz-Can/10451501 SWEETEX CONTAINERS - https://amzn.to/3t6Op5G WILTON CLEAR VANILLA - https://amzn.to/3hnpGon VIDEOS I REFERENCED: HOW TO MAKE WHITE BUTTERCREAM - https://youtu.be/IaQLNQTXo5E Say hi on social!
