I came up with this icing by combining two other recipes. It forms a nice crust, and it holds up very well in the heat/humidity....perfect for decorating. One recipe was enough for me to ice and decorate an 11x15 cake. Ingredients:
2 cups vegetable shortening |
2 tablespoons clear vanilla extract |
1 tablespoon clear butter flavoring |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
1 (1 1/3 ounce) envelope dream whip |
3 lbs powdered sugar |
1/4-1/2 cup water (to get desired consistency) |
Directions:
1. Cream together the vegetable shortening, all of the flavorings, and the Dream Whip until very smooth.
2. Add half the powdered sugar and half the water.
3. Mix until combined.
4. Add remaining powdered sugar and enough water to get desired consistency.
