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.
