Birthday Cake Frosting
-------------------
1 cup shortening (decorator shortening or Crisco)
1 TBS glycerine (you buy this in the drug store section of the store—the label says not to eat it but it is edible)
1 lb. Powdered sugar (a package)
1/4 tsp Butter flavoring
1 tsp Flavoring (any kind or combinations)
3 TBS cold water
pinch salt
Beat shortening and glycerine on high speed for about 2 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and beat for 5 minutes. You can double recipe but this takes a bigger mixer than a hand held one.
Divide up frosting and add food coloring as desired afterwards. To add the frosting to the cake, use a metal frosting knife, dip in cold water and then smooth over the cake; the rich buttery texture makes it easy to get a smooth surface.
