Question

im not looking for frosting but icing to write on a cake with. thanks!!!

ok and what is icing sugar? sorry im new to baking. i didnt know there was special sugar to use.

Answer 1

Icing and frosting are the same thing; use the basic buttercream in the first answer and you can't go wrong. Thin it with a teaspoon of milk to write with more easily....it's all in the consistency.

I use this one;

1 2lb bag 10x powdered sugar
2 cups shortening or 1 1/2 cups shortening and 1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp butter flavoring if you don't use butter
begin with 1/4 cup milk and add more a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. You have to have a stand mixer to make this though, you'll burn up a hand mixer!

Here is the Wilton buttercream recipe
For 1.5 cups icing
1/4 cup veg shortening

That is for icing, for writing add 1-3 teaspoons of milk/water(depends on how you want it)

Answer 5

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there.

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
