buttercream frosting!

my tried and true FAVORITE recipe:

1 c. crisco shortening
1 c. unsalted butter (room temp)
1 bag powdered sugar
2-4 tb. milk
1 & 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract (use clear for a bright white frosting)
1/2 tsp. pure almond extract


  • this recipe makes a large batch of frosting - big enough for an 8 inch double stacked cake. i usually cut it in half for cookies or cupcakes. :)
  • use food coloring paste to make your favorite colors - this won't water down your frosting!
