Indydebi's Crisco-Based Buttercream Icing

*This recipe is from CakeCentral.com, posted by user indydebi. Original link here.

1-1/3 cups Cricso
1/3 to 1/2 cup milk, depending on consistency needed
3 Tbsp powdered Dream Whip
2-3 Tbsp clear vanilla, depending on your personal taste
2 lbs powdered sugar

There's no wrong way to mix this. I usually mix all but the powdered sugar for a minute or two, then gradually add the sugar, but the only reason I did this was to avoid the "sugar-splash" factor. The longer the mixer runs, the smoother it gets. Sifting the powdered sugar before blending helps with smoothness but is not necessary.

Is this icing sickening sweet like most butter creams? Im looking for a good buttercream that is not too sweet that i can use on a friends wedding cake.
Thank you
