I've decorated cakes for years too I perish on coming dorsum to this easy, user friendly too fluffy frosting recipe, made amongst one-half butter too one-half white Crisco. Don't freak out almost using Crisco inward your frosting, you won't move able to say it is there (100% shortening is what most commercial bakeries purpose to brand that fluffy frosting nosotros all love) and, equally y'all tin see, it pipes nicely.
.1 loving cup white Crisco shortening
