<p>I've had this happen, too, and it straightens out by just mixing is with a spatula after it sits for a while (your ten minutes). It's just the the color and sugar not quite blending into the frosting, and showing up as the color sets. The Wilton colors always set up a bit and get a little darker, and mixing them a little should mix it all in.

I mix it again, and it all comes smooth..</p>

<p>when you are mixing the buttercream are you using the wire or paddle mixer. Wilton says to use the paddle and some others say use the wire whisk. not sure if this will help but maybe worth a try.</p>

<p>I make the ABC.... 1/2 butter... 1/2 shortening, and I use crisco.... never had this problem. Maybe it is formulated differently in Canada??? But I mostly make all butter icing... and there is never a problem with that. I did a search and found something interesting. It MAY BE your shortening. Found this thread on CC:</p>

<p>"Ok I googled it and found an old post from here it basically says that wilton gel paste colors are water based and the shortening is oil so because it was hot the water and oil separated. They suggested using high ratio shortening ( I swear by the stuff) and using an oil based coloring they didn't say any brand names on that and I'm not sure what brands are oil based. They also suggested two other things 1. Whip the heck out of your icing to get it to mix and 2.add either some more sugar to the icing recipe or cornstarch to it to thicken up the recipe they did not give amounts of how much to add. They also suggested trying a different icing recipe"</p>
<p>Crisco has stopped making high ratio shortening... less trans fats. I did say I used Crisco, but I forgot that I also buy high ratio shortening from my bulk barn I add. Hope this info helps. :o)</p> Thanks guys.

<p>Got me stumped too. I don't use American Buttercream but I have heard of other people who use it that have this problem. I've read some forums on this and some noticed it got better when they used milk but you are already using it. Others think it's the Crisco since they changed the formula. Wish I could help. If I come across any solution, I'll let you know.</p>

<p>does this happen while it's in a piping bag? this happens to me while I'm piping and was told it was hot hands. also have you tried a different shortening? maybe they changed the recipe of the shortening.</p>
