Oh yuck...don't use the Wilton one with the Crisco. I use two sticks of unsalted room temp butter - whip them until they're light, add a tsp of vanilla, a splash of milk and a box of confectioners sugar. You might need to add more milk as you go - you'll know if it looks too thick.

Re: Buttercream Frosting
I have a great one I use all the time. It's so yummy.
The only thing is you really have to use it immediately, if you refrigerate it and re-beat it, it tends to get course. But if you use it immediately it is a beautiful consistency and tastes great. Then you can refrigerate it once its on the cake.
Buttercream Frosting Mom’s Preferred Recipe
Yields: 3 Cups of frosting (will fost, fill & border a 9” cake)
1 Cup milk 1 Cup Granulated Sugar (quick dissolve best) 1/4 C. Unsifted Flour 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 C. butter (1/2 lb.) at room temp.
• Combine milk & flour in small saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils & thickens. • Remove from heat and cool to room temp. (This is imperative or the frosting will not hold up for decorating.) • Cover top with a plastic wrap to prevent crusting. • Cream butter and sugar until very fluffy. Add vanilla and COOLED flour/milk mixture that has been put through a strainer. (A must = the slightest lump will clog tips.) • Continue beating at medium speed until sugar is completely dissolved and frosting is fluffy. (Taste to be sure sugar is not gritty and has dissolved.)
