Bakers Frosting

To make a frosting that is the type you get on a purchased cake, try this:

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1/4 teaspoon of salt

1 pound box of powdered sugar

Enough milk to make a very stiff but smooth frosting (one Tblsp at a time).

To this you may add 1 tsp. of flavor such as almond extract or

white vanilla. This will make it slightly thinner. This frosting

may then be spread on a cake and with a little food coloring, be

used as a decorating frosting. Remember, this is not low in

calories.
