im taking cake decorating classes, and just wondered if there was a healthier version to vegtable shortening. i asked about butter (vegan) but teacher says its possible, but it would have to be eaten that day.

Earth Balance makes a non-hydrogenated vegetable shortening. It's the best I've used. Spectrum also makes one, though it's in a tub. Crisco is vegetable shortening and they call themselves trans fat free but still have partially hydrogenated on the label. Crisco is also nasty, however, so I wouldn't recommend it in frosting.
