Ingredients




1 # powdered sugar (sift if necessary)
1 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon clear vanilla
1 tablespoon meringue powder
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon Valencia flavoring

Preparation

1 Cream shortening, then add remaining ingredients. 2 This recipe yields 3 cupsof frosting. This produces frosting with a stiff consistency, perfect for piping roses. For a medium consistency, (for borders) add 1 tsp. water to each cup of frosting For a thin consistency, (suitable for icing the cake and writing or leaves) add 2 tsp. water to each cup of stiff frosting. I usually double this recipe when icing a two layer 9 inch cake with frosting decorations. Meringue powder and Valencia flavoring are both sold at my local party store. (Party Time) Valencia  3 "crust". Simply Whites can be used in place of meringue powder and a flavoring called "Creme Bouquet" is also a good substitute for the Valencia.
