This is a great frosting for decorating cakes, icing cupcakes, or if you're like me, eating it right out of the bowl.
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons milk
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and vanilla.
2. Blend in the sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Beat in the milk, and continue mixing until light and fluffy.
4. Keep icing covered until ready to decorate.
You can color your icing, but I would recommend using a "paste" food color - the liquid food coloring tends to water down the consistency of the icing and you may find that you have to add more powdered sugar to thicken it back up.
