We tried the Walmart store brand. It was definitely better, but we still had some color separation issues. I've bought some hi-ratio shortening that we'll try out. If it the color still separates, I'll have to take a hard look at the recipe or the way she's making it. It reminds of the way BC acts when there's too much water, but it's not quite the same.

I guess mixing to match colors between mediums is a way of life. I had read about adding milk/creamers to keep the purple from fading to blue and thought it might affect the initial color, too. It does! It's definitely less blue to begin with - more like royal, but not quite.
Thank you all for your input! I don't know that we'll be able to test all the ideas before the fair, but we'll certainly be trying them out.
