That is a real cutie in your afatar!

Here is the recipe for Wilton's Buttercream Icing!. It is the industry standard and is used by bakeries all across the country!. IMO, it is just about the best icing you can make!. also included are directions on how to make regular White Vanilla Buttercream Icing into Chocolate Buttercream Icing and even better, Mocha Chocolate Buttercream Icing (The absolute best chocolate icing I've ever tried!!!)!.

If you are going to make chocolate or mocha chocolate icing, the clear vanilla is not as important as it is if you want a bright white icing!.

Wilton Buttercream Icing

? cup solid vegetable shortening (Crisco)
? cup butter or margarine (1 stick)
1 Tablespoon Wilton Clear Vanilla Extract
4 cups Confectioners Sugar (1 pound)
2 Tablespoons Milk
Wilton Icing Color

Cream Butter and Shortening with an electric mixer!. Add vanilla extract!. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed!. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl often!. When all the sugar has been mixed in, the icing will appear dry!. Add milk and beat at medium speed until it is light and fluffy!. Makes 3 cups!.

At this point you will have a nice white icing!. For colors, use Wilton’s Icing Color paste or powder!. Use a toothpick to add the paste to the icing and mix well until the color is even!. If you need more color, use a new toothpick for each new addition of color!.

Keep the icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use!. For best results, keep the icing bowl in the refrigerator, with a piece of plastic wrap pushed down to be in contact with the icing, when not in use!. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored for 2 weeks!. Rewhip before use!.

Powdered sugar,vanilla flavoring,coco if you're making chocolate,and a good trans fat free spread, like Smart Balance (tastes just like butter, but not the light one), and a little water!. You can also use instant coffee for coffee flavor,and made coffee in place of the water!.You can flavor with anything, and use any liquid in place of water!.Mix until it's as thick or thin as you like!. You can make it thick enough to spread,or thin down with your liquid if you want to glaze or drizzle!.

icing sugar(you might call it powdered sugar or something else) and water gives you the most basic but then for a creamy one that doesn't set you add butter and milk instead of the water!. it's reaally a guessing game because recipes don't work due to the exact temperature of the water or milk etc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
