I needed an icing to use to make my daughters castle cake. While in Farmer Jack, the woman at the register ahead of me talked about how she decorates cakes. So I took that as my opportunity to ask her what recipe she uses for icing and this is what she gave me. I got lots of raving reviews. This hardens up like the cakes in meijer, etc.... and it's not too sweet. Ingredients:
1 lb sifted powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon meringue powder |
1 cup crisco |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Combine the shortening, water and vanilla. This will take some time to mix up but it will eventually.
2. Add the meringue powder and powdered sugar.
3. Mix well - beat for about 3 minutes
4. If this is way too stiff you can add a little water at a time. Just remember you want this to be a little thick so you can spread it.
