I made this cake for my daughter's first birthday. It looked so cute, and best of all, it tasted delicious! I found this recipe in a Wilton cake decorating magazine. It was SO yummy, and it was perfect consistency to do what I needed.
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract (only if you need pure white frosting otherwise regular is fine)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
food coloring
*makes about 3 cups*
In large bowl, cream shortening and butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. If refrigerated in an airtight container, it can be stored for two weeks. Rewhip before using.
