This is such a yummy frosting. I got the recipe from when I was taking cake decorating classes from Michaels. I like it best with this cake or a yellow cake mix.
Wilton Buttercream Icing
1 C. white vegetable shortening (I use 3/4 C. shortening and 1/4 C. butter)
1 tsp. flavor (vanilla or almond--I use almond & I usually add extra)
2 Tbsp. water or milk (I use water)
1 lb. (4 C.) powdered sugar
1 Tbsp. meringue powder (optional--I don't use this)
pinch of salt (optional--I use it)
Using a mixer, cream together shortening, flavoring, & water. Add dry ingredients & mix on medium speed until all ingredients have been thoroughly mixed together. Blend an additional minute or so until creamy. Add more liquid if needed.
*This recipe is for a 9x13 cake.
