Buttercream icing is the important thing when you decorate your cake. Here is the recipe :
Making Buttercream Icing
The thick, but creamy texture of this flavorful icing makes it ideal for decorating*.
For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. It can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Rewhip before using. YIELD: 3 CUPS.
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine
4 cups (1 lb.) sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk (or more)
1 tsp. Clear Vanilla Extract
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
*To thin for icing cake, add a small amount of light corn syrup.
