Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 cup of salted butter
3 teaspoons of vanilla
4 cups of icing sugar
4-5 tablespoons of coffee cream 18% and up

Steps:

  • Get out the salted butter! Trust me and use salted butter, it's the secret ingredient!
  • Beat the butter until it is light and creamy. This is important as you are adding the icing sugar next. If the butter isn't creamy you can get lumps in the icing.
  • Add in the icing sugar. Again, if you are like me and can taste stale icing sugar, you will need a fresh bag.
  • Add in the cream.. I used 4 tablespoons for my preference, you adjust to what you want.
  • Stiffer icing = less cream. Lighter icing = more cream. Adjust the amount to your liking by adding one tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
  • Add the vanilla then keep mixing it until fluffy and thoroughly combined.

Categories     Cakes

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 c Crisco
1 c lightly salted butter (regular salted butter will work too)
2 Tbsp meringue powder
1 tsp pure vanilla extract (may want to use a clear vanilla for a pure white frosting)
1 tsp butter flavoring
1/2 tsp almond extract
1/4 tsp orange extract
1/4 tsp lemon extract
2 lb powdered sugar (must be brand name - store brand will not work)
5-6 Tbsp warm water
1/4 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. In a small cup, measure out water and salt. Set aside and let the salt dissolve.
  • 2. If you have a standing mixer it is highly recommended. But a hand held mixer with a very large bowl will work also. Cream together the Crisco and butter until well combined.
  • 3. Add meringue powder and all the extracts and flavorings. Mix well.
  • 4. On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined. It will get clumpy after the whole 2lbs. has been distributed.
  • 5. Continue on low speed and gradually add salt/water mix. Add more water to frosting if necessary.
