Basic Decorator Icing Recipe


This decorator icing is pure white in color. It reminds me of your typical wedding cake icing. I have to admit that it is not my favorite personally, I prefer the buttercream icing. By the same token, I do have customers that would not have any other kind of icing except this one.

Basic White Icing Recipe

  • 2 cups solid shortening (crisco)
  • 1/2 cup milk (may need an additional 2-3 Tbsp)
  • 2 lbs powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon clear vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp almond flavor
  • 1/8 tsp lemon flavor
  • 1/2 tsp butter flavor
Directions:
  • Cream shortening and milk with flavors. Slowly add powdered sugar, beating at a medium speed until well blended.

  • If your icing is too thin, simply add some more powdered sugar until the desired consistency is reached. Sometimes, the icing may be too thick. If this happens, add milk 1 Tbsp at a time until the icing is a good spreading consistency.
