: I made my first batch of buttercream icing with the new Crisco. I had stocked up on the old but finally ran out. The icing with the O trans fat Crisco seemed very nice when I made it but till I got the cake to the reception hall the icing started sliding off the one layer. I was able to repair it and pray it stayed there till the reception. I use 2 cups high ration and one cup Crisco to 6 pounds of powdered sugar. Any suggestions what I need to do to it to make it less slippery? Also, I always use Duncan Hines cake mixes but the couple wanted milk chocolate so I used a Betty Crocker for the top cake that had the icing problem. The other layers were Duncan Hines and the icing stayed on them.
