My mother and sister took a cake decorating class at a local college when i was young (boy i loved eating their homework!). this was a recipe that my mother had in her file after i moved out and came back home for a visit and decided to go through her recipe box for family recipes- this was in there and i don't know the origination of it. Ingredients:
1 lb 10x powdered sugar |
1/3 cup shortening (prefer crisco) |
1/4 cup water (room temp) |
1 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3 drops butter flavoring (found with other extracts etc in cake decorator aisle) |
any food coloring |
Directions:
1. mix all ingredients on low. great for a kitchen aid mixer but hard on the arm if using a old time mixer. add color a few drops at a time until desired color is acheived.
2. you can also drop color into water if mixing several different colors to acheive a certain color.
3. pack into sleeve with tip needed and decorate!
4. **TIP** if using for several different colors that won't need a lot of icing like making flowers etc, mix beofre adding color and separate into several different sections then add coloring a little at a time to acheive color needed**.
