Hi Laura,

Rather than modifying this recipe, I would recommend using this recipe for White Frosting instead.

Laura, I always use butter in this recipe and it works much better than shortening. This is the real frosting for Waldorf Astoria Red Cake rather than cream cheese frosting. I am old enough to know. :)
