Steps:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand-held mixer, mix all of the ingredients on low speed until it starts to come together.
- Increase speed to high and beat for 4-5 minutes until frosting is fluffy, pausing once or twice to scrape the bowl down.
- (Optional Step) The frosting will be very airy with lots of bubbles. To achieve a smooth frosting, beat it with a wooden spoon by hand for 2-3 minutes. This will push all of those air bubbles out.
- Use frosting as desired to cover cakes, cupcakes, cookies, etc. This is enough frosting for a double layer 8 or 9-inch cake, 2 dozen cupcakes, or 2 dozen 4-inch cookies.
- Store frosting at room temperature for 1-2 days, in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to several months.

SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
I decided on a whim yesterday that I wanted to make cupcakes for Canada Day. I didn't have time to buy frosting before getting ready for the fireworks show, so I ended up making my own with ingredients I already had. I was shocked at how quick and easy this was! This basic vanilla recipe makes enough to cover a dozen cupcakes, but feel free to double it (for cakes), triple it, add food coloring or different flavor extracts. If you find this too sweet, you can add a dash of salt to the milk or the vanilla. Personally I like it sweet, and I used salted butter, so I didn't find it necessary.

Steps:
- In large mixing bowl with paddle attachment (I use my Kitchen Aid mixer) beat together shortening and butter.
- Add vanilla and with mixer on low add your powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing after each cup is added. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl frequently.
- When all sugar has been added frosting will appear dry. Add milk, one tablespoon at a time until you get your desired consistency (2-3 tbsps of milk give me the desired consistency I need for piping). Increase mixer speed to medium/medium high and beat for 4-5 minutes.
- If not using right away or you have to step away for a few minutes cover the bowl with a damp cloth to keep frosting from getting too dry. This frosting can be stored in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For thin spreading consistency add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk.
- For pure white frosting (stiff consistency) omit butter and substitute an additional 1/2 cup shortening for the butter and 1/2 teaspoon no color butter flavoring. Add up to 4 tablespoons light corn syrup or milk to thin for frosting cakes.
- For Chocolate Frosting: Add 3/4 cup unsweet cocoa or 3-1 ounce squares unsweetened baking chocolate, melted. Add an additional 1-2 tablespoons milk.
