- If you are needing to make a lot of frosting, Crisco frosting is a great choice to make as it easy and will last. Crisco frosting is also great to make if you are in a hurry because you don’t have to worry about waiting for butter to thaw.
- If you have leftover frosting you have been storing in the fridge, it is best to let it thaw out till it reaches room temperature. This will make the frosting easier to use when you are decorating your baked goods. Frosting made with Crisco tends to be easier to pipe than butter-based frostings.
