Buttercream Icing

Working on a surprise party for someone? Or just in the mood for making a cake? Then try this recipe that I found in the kitchen!

Yum! Doesn't it look just absolutely YUMMY??? Let me assure you, it really is that delicious. The rest of the family thought so too! Except... they didn't see this mess...

Or this mess...

But the end result is this delicious icing for a cake in a box! The recipe is as follows... good luck!

Buttercreme Icing:

1/2 C Shortning
1/2 C Margarine
1     t  Vanilla
4    C Sugar (Confectioners)
2    T Milk
(If want Choclate Buttercreme Icing) 3/4 C Cocoa + 1-2 T milk )

1) Creme the Shortning and the margarine together with a beater.
2) Add in the vanilla and beat throughly
3) Add the sugar slowly at medium speed
4) Add Milk and beat all ingrediants until there are no lumps.
5) Add in chocolate or food coloring

If you do have extra icing (like I did) put the remaining icing in a air tight container and freeze it. The icing lasts longer and it wont get all moldy! ♥
