Well you can make a flavored whipped cream type of frosting if you like!.!.!.you would have to purchase the "whipping cream" it comes in a carton that looks like a milk carton and you could pick any kind of flavored syrup that your mom likes!.!.!.you could even get real fruit and put it in a blender and add it to the whipped cream once you've finished making it!.!.!.!.you would have to have a hand mixer and about 2 to 3 cups sugar to make the whipped cream, you have to put the mixer at a high enough speed!.!.!.the more you do it the more you will see the cream start to turn fluffy!.!.!.!.add just a bit a sugar and more cream at a time as you mix!.!.!.be sure to taste it so that it isn't to sweet!.!.!.!.afterwards add your fruit or what ever and add it to the cakes!.!.!.!.you might also want to try some food coloring to give it some shine!.!.!.!.good idea girls!.!.!.good luck and have fun :)Www@FoodAQ@Com

EASY FUDGE FROSTING

2 c!. sugar
1/2 c!. Crisco
1/2 c!. cocoa
1/2 c!. milk

**************************

EASY VANILLA FROSTING

2 egg whites, room temperature
1/2 tsp!. cream of tartar
4 tbsp!. honey
2 tsp!. vanilla
1 c!. instant nonfat dry milk (very fine textured)

In clean, free of any grease, glass bowl, beat egg whites until foamy!. Add cream of tartar and continue beating adding honey and vanilla!. Gradually add nonfat dry milk, beating constantly!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

for a thinner icing this should work:

2 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons milk

Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and milk!. Then add more milk a bit at a time until it is thin enough to drizzle over a cake!. Once you've iced your cake, it's best to let it stand for one or two hours!.

for thicker frosting:
1 cup shortening
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
4 tablespoons milk

Beat together shortening and vanilla for 30 seconds medium speed with an electric mixer!. Add 2 cups of powdered sugar a bit at a time while beating!. Then add 2 tablespoons milk!. Slowly add in the rest of the powdered sugar and the rest of the milk until you get the right thickness for your frosting!.

You might want to double both the recipes if you need to cover two cakes!. Or if you run out you could always make more!

Hope this helps!Www@FoodAQ@Com
