Ingredients
3 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup shortening or salted butter
2 tablespoons water or milk
1 teaspoon clear imitation vanilla extract
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won’t look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you’re done! Note: If you’re not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.
two sticks of regular butter, 3 Cups of powdered sugar and a little extra milk and vanilla
