Special Butter Cream Frosting


Okay!  Here is the best frosting for decorating or simply frosting your cake!  It's super easy and fun to work with!!  I wish I had found this years ago!!  Give it a try and let me know what you think.  Personally, I think it's best for decorating.

2 cups shortening
8 cups 10x sugar ( confectionary)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons clear vanilla  (only use clear if you want super white frosting.  Use the regular vanilla if you don't care if the color is more of a creamy white.  You can get the clear vanilla in the cake decorating isle of Walmart for $4.00.  It will last forever!)
6 fluid ounces of heavy cream

1.  Cream shortening until fluffy.  Add 10x sugar and continue creaming until well blended.

2.  Add salt, vanilla, and heavy cream and blend on low until moistened.  Add additional cream if necessary (up to 2 ounces).

3.  Beat at high speed til frosting is fluffy. 

This is so easy and fun!  I hope you enjoy it too!
