White wedding cake Icing
Ingredients 1 cup butter or margarine 1 cup vegetable shortening 2 lbs powdered sugar(8 cups) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon meringue powder (optional) 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 teaspoon almond extract 1/2-1 teaspoon clear butter flavoring 4-6 ounces whipping cream Directions 1 Cream butter and shortening until fluffy. 2 Add sugar, meringue powder, about half of the cream, and continue creaming until well blended. 3 Add salt, flavorings and enough whipping cream to make the consistency you need. 4 Beat at medium speed until icing is fluffy. 5 You may substitute all shortening for the butter, which will give a pure white icing, but the flavor will not be quite as good. 6 I used butter and real vanilla and the icing turned out a very pale ivory, which I personally prefer to a stark-white icing. 7 The meringue powder gives the icing a light crust, but it remains soft underneath.
