I've made wedding cakes for 15 years. I use box mixes but created my own frosting recipe. It has a nice flavor, plus it pipes and sets up well. I used this frosting on the cake when our daughter, Delores, married cowboy Les Jensen. Ingredients:
10 cups shortening, divided |
35 cups confectioners' sugar (about 10 pounds), divided |
2-1/2 cups milk, divided |
10 teaspoons vanilla extract, divided |
5 teaspoons almond extract, divided |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream 2 cups shortening. Gradually beat in 7 cups confectioners' sugar. Add 1/2 cup milk; beat until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Repeat four times. Store in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before decorating cake. Yield: 40 cups.
