I've never had a problem with before, even last summer, but now I'm a little paranoid. I really don't want 4 cake-tastropies.

You can replace the butter in this recipe with shortening and it should be fine. Add a bit of butter flavoring (Wilton makes it in small bottles)--1 tsp or so--and you should be fine. If you can get your hands on a non trans-fat free shortening (hi-ratio is best), it will be a much better result. All Crisco is trans-fat free, but some of the store brands still contain trans-fats.
