Small Batch Icing- to Write on Cakes
Ready In: 11 mins
Serves: 4
Yields: 1 1/4 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1⁄4 cup shortening
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons water
- 1⁄4 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
Directions
- 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.
