Several friends have told me that while they can bake a presentable cake, coming up with a tasty frosting seems to allude them. This recipe seems to be fool proof AND good tasting, too. I like the fact that you can make it ahead of time.
Easy Frosting
2 cups shortening
1/2 cup powdered nondaily creamer
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
32 ounces powdered sugar
Approximately 1/2 cup water
Place the shortening, creamer and extracts in a large mixing bowl and beat into very smooth. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, beating well. Only use enough water to reach a good spreading consistency. At this point, you can add food coloring if you desire.
It can be stored in the refrigerator for a month or so which makes it really handy for those last-minute notices from your children that they need a dozen cupcakes for school . . . now!
