Answers:
If it's a 1lb sugar, I THINK that the right amount of shortening would be between 8-10oz because you also have the butter!.

Good luck on your final!.!.!.!.I just got my Baking and Pastry degree!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have the exact recipe it is a basic buttercream recipe!. It is 16oz powdered sugar, 1 stick room temp butter, 1 tbsp vanilla, 1/2 cup shortening !.

Blend the butter and shortening together!. Add one cup of sugar a time, scrape the side of the bowl before adding another cup of sugar!. At the end add the vanilla and blend!. I always add alittle milk at the end like 1 tbsp so it makes the icing fluffy!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
