Directions
Cake Decorator’s Frosting, Tastes just like those wedding cake frostings we’ve all eaten – ultra-creamy and sweet!!! This recipe came from a cake decorating class I took many years ago It is an excellent frosting for wedding and birthday cakes, and has the perfect consistency to use with a pastry bag/tube for writing or making colored roses, leaves or other decorations You can make it any flavor you like! frosts a 2-layer cake plus some, Oh thanks! When I was a kid, this the only cake icing my mom and grandma made I’m glad to find this, Super yummy! 1 box powdered sugar = 1 lb (3 1/2 to 4 cups sifted), so this recipe equaled my 2 lb bag In my situation, I should have gone with my instincts and opened up a second bag to make it a little stiffer, but I didn’t and the blues clues paw print cake still turned out super cute, thanks to my husband’s artistic abilities I also followed a previous review’s advice and went with 1 cup of crisco 1/2 cup butter, so that may have made a softness difference, too But the flavor was exactly what I wanted! Thank you so much!
