CAKE DECORATING FROSTING 
5 c. confectioners' sugar
3/4 c. Crisco shortening
1/3 c. powder milk
1/4 c. cold water
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt

In large mixing bowl, place above ingredients. Mix at low speed until blended. When blended, mix at high speed for 10 minutes. This is what makes it so creamy.

Will frost 4 to 5 cakes depending on size of cakes. Can change the color of frosting by using different food colorings, such as pink, green, etc. It you want Mocha frosting just melt Baker's or Hershey's chocolate semi-sweet squares and mix according to taste.

I use it as white frosting to decorate birthday cakes, and then the color for the decorations on cake.

Can be stored in the refrigerator if covered tightly for over a week. To use again, leave at room temperature until it softens up.

Cake Decorating Frosting

 Jeanne & Peter Jeffries (New Hampshire) says:
I have searched high and low for this recipe. It is a wonderful decorating frosting which I learned in a cake decorating class in Alaska many years ago. I have always used it for special cakes including a wedding cake. It sets up well, stays in July weather, and is pure white whereas butter makes the frosting yellow or cream. I am so glad to find it again for a doll cake for a 4 year old. Wish me luck.
