I originally found this recipe (though 1 1/3 cups Crisco) a year ago from a decorator/caterer known as IndyDebi who has a blog that's great. Anyway I was looking for a frosting that would hold up in a very hot, humid setting. An outdoor affair in summer in sunny SW Florida! I made 500 cupcakes topped with this wonderful frosting and they held up beautifully! I was going to post it so I didn't lose it but since you have I thank you for sharing! It's absolutely a go to recipe!
