Why I Love This Recipe

This icing is similar to the flavor and has a medium consistency like bakery icing. It is ideal for frosting and borders.


Ingredients You'll Need

2 cups solid vegetable shortening*
2 lbs. confectioners' sugar (There are 4 cups to a pound)
1/2 tsp. salt
1-2 tsp. clear vanilla or your favorite flavoring
6-8 oz. whipping cream


Directions

Cream shortening until fluffy. Add sugar and continue creaming until well-blended.


Add salt, flavoring and whipping cream; blend on low speed until moistened.


Beat at high speed until icing is fluffy.


Extra-Special Butter cream icing needs to be refrigerated, both after it is made and when it is placed on a cake. It will keep 3-5 days in the refrigerator.
