Decorator's Icing
Ingredients
- 2 pound powdered sugar
- 1 1/4 C. crisco
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 C. water
- 1 tsp vanilla
- a few drops almond and/or butter flavoring
Instructions
Beat 10 minutes, depending on your mixer, until light and fluffy. A little water may be added to thin out, but not milk. Decorators often use this when temperature is a concern. Butter melts at a lower temp, and won't hold up outside in the summer, for instance.
