    Buttercream Icing

    birthday cake


    divider
    INGREDIENTS
    divider
  • 1 box (1 pound) confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 cup crisco shortening, plain or butter flavor
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2-3 tablespoons warm water
  • 3 squares Bakers semisweet chocolate
  • divider
    INSTRUCTIONS
    divider A HEAVY DUTY ELECTRIC MIXER IS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS ICING PROPERLY. Sift one box of confectioner’s sugar into mixer bowl. Add one cup crisco shortening, plain if icing is to be white, butter flavor for chocolate. Turn electric mixer on low speed and slowly begin to blend sugar and shortening together. Begin to add water one tablespoon at a time, stopping at 2 tablespoons at first, until icing is well blended, increasing the speed of the mixer until it is at least at its half way point. (Add third tablespoon of water only if icing is too stiff and it is to be used to only ice the cake.) Add vanilla. If you want chocolate icing, add melted squares of chocolate to icing and blend well. Continue mixing 2-5 minutes until icing is very creamy, using a spatula to scrape down the sides as it mixes. Use as soon as possible after making or cover bowl with a damp paper towel until cake will be iced or decorated. Icing can be refrigerated for a few days in a sealed tupperware container if necessary. Let it stand at room temperature for a while before using.

    For colored icing: Once white icing is done, separate it into smaller bowls, however many needed for your color choices. Gradually add paste food color of choice and mix well with a spoon. Use a toothpick to add the color to the icing. Use a new toothpick whenever you have to add any color to the icing, even the same color, so as not to contaminate the paste icing itself. Once the paste food color is well blended into the icing, use it to ice your cake or put it into a pastry bag to pipe on decorations. Paste colored icing darkens over time so DO NOT add too much. To keep the icing more on the pastel side, you can add liquid food color, but be careful. If too much liquid food color is used, the texture of the icing will soften and may end up being too soft to use for piped decorations.
