Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full 5 minutes. It won't look like icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full 5 minutes, and then you're done!

2. Note: if you are not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tablespoons of corn syrup, or water to the icing.

Personal Notes:
This is how real bakeries make their icing. Better than store bought but just as quick.
