This is the icing recipe from my good friend Sylvia. She makes the best cakes and this is what she always ices them with.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter (or margarine)
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 cups sifted icing sugar
2 tablespoons milk
Directions:
1. Using an electric mixer, cream butter, shortening and vanilla. Gradually add the sugar 1 cup at a time, and beat well on medium speed (scrape sides and bottom of bowl often).
2. Once all the sugar is mixed in, add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy.
3. Keep refrigerated and covered until needed.
