Melissa, you will find there are many, many variations of BC. Everyone has there favorite based on their taste and performance preference. I'm still experimenting on mine. I've done the Wilton BC, IndyDeb's and now I'm sold on Sharon Zambito's recipe. There are also Swiss Meringue BC & Italian Meringue BC - these require cooking. I've haven't tried either style but some swear by them.
Here's what I have tried--
Wilton BC
1c shortening (must have trans fat)
1lb powdered sugar
1T meringue powder
4-6T water (depending on the consistency you desire)
1-1/2t flavoring
Indydebi’s Crisco-Based Buttercream Icing
1-1/3 cups Cricso
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk, depending on consistency needed
3 Tbsp powdered Dream Whip (*)
2-3 Tbsp clear vanilla, depending on your personal taste
2 lbs powdered sugar
(*) A powdered whipped topping mix made by Kraft Foods, usually found in the cake/sugar aisle in the grocery.
Instructions
There’s no wrong way to mix this. I usually mix all but the powdered sugar for a minute or two, then gradually add the sugar, but the only reason I did this was to avoid the “sugar-splash” factor. The longer the mixer runs, the smoother it gets. Sifting the powdered sugar before blending helps with smoothness but is not necessary.
Sharon Zambito's
5c shortening (she recommend Sweetex brand but I've used store brand with trans fats and had good results)
5lbs powdered sugar
11-12T HOT coffee creamer
4T flavoring
There is a method to mixing her BC and you can adjust the ingredients to match the capacity of your mixer. Watch her on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zB4ibkH0V_4
Hi Melissa! My favorite one is as follows:
Ingredientes
100 grams shortening
100 grams buterr with out salt
90 grams philadelphia cream cheese
1 1/2 spoons of merengue dust
5 ml vanilla flavor with out color
1 kg confetioners sugar
60 ml whipped cream or milk
uppps my baby send it before finishing...continue
first cream together the shortening and butter, then the philadelphia cream cheese, add the merengue powder softly to avoid clouds of merengue all over the place, then the vanilla extract, the milk or whipped cream and finally the confetioners sugar. the flavor is great soft and sweet.
Have a great day, Gaby

Jennifer - Pure vanilla extract is made from vanilla beans and an alcohol like vodka. Madagascar Bourban (bean type) is probably the best of the commonly found vanillas and you can find it at the grocery store. It is more expensive but soooo much better than the imitation vanilla. I make my own vanilla and it is better than the store bought!
