BUTTERCREAM ICING INGREDIENTS
1 cup of vegetable shortening
1 lb of powdered sugar
4 to 6 tbsp water
2 tsp of butter flavoring or vanilla extract

To make the butter cream icing, slowly cream the vegetable shortening and powdered sugar together. As the shortening and sugar start blending, slowly add flavoring and 4 tbsp of water. Mix on medium speed until the icing is smooth and creamy. If a thinner consistency is desired, simply add the remaining 2 tbsp of water.

When the cake is finished baking, allow to cool for 15 or 20 minutes before icing the cake with butter cream.
