Buttercream Frosting Recipe


This is the frosting recipe from the cupcakes at the girl party last weekend. I got lots of requests for it. The part was so much fun. We're glad we got so much support. Thanks to the RS for all the hard work put into it.

1/2 c. shortening
1/2 c. soft butter
1/2 tsp clear vanilla extract
1/2 tsp almond extract
2 Tbsp milk or water
1 Tbsp Meringue powder
1 lb powdered sugar (about 4 cups)

Blend together until smooth

Meringue powder can be found in the cake decorating section of any craft store, or Wal-mart. You can also find the clear extract there as well. Using clear extract helps so you can have white frosting.
