Thank you both!
Meera - I do use the Wilton recipe but I sub liquid coffee creamer for the milk or water, and I use 1/2 shortening and 1/2 butter (I noticed this is the standard recipe in the Wilton yearbooks and such but in the classes we learned to do all shortening - gross!). Normally it crusts fine, even if I don't remember to add the merengue powder, but we have had an exceptionally humid summer and it's been wreaking havoc on my cakes! Do you use a different recipe that crusts better? I would love to get my buttercream more smooth and perfect!
