Answers: that lacks vegetable shortening?
For Buttercream Frosting, use Butter and nothing else. Here is a link to a recipe.

Yeah, use all butter and sugar.
You should NEVER use shortening in buttercream-use butter. Italian buttercream is very good. If you're trying to make something to frost a cake that is low or no fat, try cool whip.
50 g (2oz)butter
100 g (4 oz)sieved icing sugar
flavouring and colouring as required
1Cream fat, gradually add icing sugar and cream together.
2Add flavouring and colouring. Double this quantity to sandwich and coat a 15-18 cm (6-7 inch) cake. Suggested flavourings:
1Few drops vanilla essence.
2Few drops almond essence.
3Finely grated rind orange/lemon
42 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp.) coffee essence.
525 g (1 oz) melted chocolate.
62 x 5 ml spoon (2 tsp.) cocoa and 1 x 2.5 ml spoon (? tsp.) vanilla essence.
You can use butter in place of the shortening if you don't mind the color, it won't be white it will take an off white - yellowish color like butter. Don't let it get warm because it will start to melt.
