I love Wilton's frosting recipe!. You do need to buy a can of meringue powder (@ Wal-Mart)!. The recipe is in the can!.

You will need
crisco
powdered sugar
butter extract
vanilla extract
almond extract
salt
a little bit of milk, maybe, for consisentcy!.

Once you use the recipe, there is no other!.

They wil also have other frosting recipes in the can, like your icing!.
