ISO: Need help with Buttercream icing

Misc.
ADVERTISEMENT
Has anyone used a shortening other than Crisco,for their buttercream icing? I don't care for the crusty texture the Crisco causes once it has set up. I know that there is a crusty texture on most buttercreams, but this is more than I want. In our bakery we use a special shortening just for icing, but I've never found one like it in the stores. Does anyone have any ideas?
