Steps:
- Using an electric mixer fitted with beaters or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and shortening on a medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla extract and scrape down the bowl occasionally.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time. Start by mixing each cup on a low speed then transition to beating well on medium speed. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl after each cup of sugar is added. When all the sugar has been mixed in, the frosting will appear dry and stiff.
- Gradually add small amounts of cream or milk or water at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Continue to beat at a medium speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl once more and beat again to make sure all the ingredients are incorporated.
- (Optional) Add a pinch of salt if too sweet and mix until completely dissolved.

DECORATOR FROSTING I
This is a pure white wedding cake frosting. You can double the recipe if you have a sturdy mixer. Add milk according to purpose; you need less if you are making flowers or borders than if you are just covering a cake. Remove what you need for decorating before you thin the rest down for frosting.

Steps:
- Using electric mixer (prefereably not handheld), cream shortening until very soft.

- Make decorations, place on plastic wrap on cookie sheet and cover gently with plastic wrap.

- ***If you decide to freeze your frosted cake, DO NOT put the decorations on it until after you have thawed both the cake and decorations, as the colored decorations will bleed into the cake frosting when they thaw.
- ***Defrost cake and decorations separately and then place decorations on the cake.
- VARIATIONS: For chocolate frosting, add 3 tbs powdered cocoa to the sugar mixture.
- For lemon, omit butter and vanilla flavorings and add 3 tsp.

- COLORED FROSTINGS: Frosting can be made any color you want with tasteless food coloring, but be sure to mix well after adding the coloring.

- This will serve 50-60 people.
PROFESSIONAL DECORATORS' ICING
I needed an icing to use to make my daughters castle cake. While in Farmer Jack, the woman at the register ahead of me talked about how she decorates cakes. So I took that as my opportunity to ask her what recipe she uses for icing and this is what she gave me. I got lots of raving reviews. This hardens up like the cakes in meijer, etc.... and it's not too sweet.

Steps:
- Combine the shortening, water and vanilla. This will take some time to mix up but it will eventually.
- Add the meringue powder and powdered sugar.
- Mix well - beat for about 3 minutes
- If this is way too stiff you can add a little water at a time. Just remember you want this to be a little thick so you can spread it.

I always use this when I decorate cakes and I get many, many compliments on the wonderful taste. It is not that usual shortening-and-sugar-bakery-icing taste. If I am not using it to decorate a cake with, I use my all butter variation: Recipe #261024.
