It's handy to have this sweet creamy frosting in the freezer when you need to decorate a cake or cupcakes. Just thaw in the fridge and spread. It's easy to tint with food coloring for a special look, assures Evelyn Comeau of Virden, Manitoba. Ingredients:
1/3 cup shortening |
4-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 to 1 cup heavy whipping cream |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream shortening, 1 cup of sugar, vanilla and salt. Add the remaining sugar alternately with cream. Beat until the frosting reaches desired consistency. Cover and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw before using. Yield: about 3 cups (enough to frost 24 cupcakes or a two-layer, tube, 13- x 9-inch or 15- x 10-inch cake).
