You can probably do that. I used Spectrum for my Wilton classes and it was okay. I think the 0 trans fat Crisco isn't really 0 trans fat, btw.

I threw away everything I used for the classes when I used their recipe.

I mean that I made the icing their way, practiced with it until I got the technique down and did not eat or serve what I had made for the classes that used their recipe. It was practice material, not eating material.

Once I had the techniques down, I started using other recipes for buttercream and such. Some turned out and some didn't, mostly because I live in a very hot place and that melts buttercream.
