recipe for a white frosting that you can tint?

Answer 1

Buttercream Frosting
1 cup butter, softened
6-7 cups powdered or confectioner's sugar
6-9 Tbsp. milk
2 tsp. vanilla
PREPARATION:
In large bowl, cream butter until very fluffy. Add part of the sugar and beat again. Continue adding sugar and milk in small batches, alternately, beating until very fluffy. Stir in vanilla.

You can use food coloring to color this frosting or as I have at times, used unsweetened powdered drink mix. (like Kool Aid)

Answer 4

Okay, you mix in shortening, powdered sugar and a tsp. of almond extract. Taste and see if it taste sweet enough and if not add a little more powdered sugar until the right sweetness. It doesn't make a whole lot but it so easy to make up that it doesn't matter if you have to make up more to use.

Answer 5

I would do the butter cream recipe and stay away from using shortening since it contains trans fats

Answer 6

buy white cream cheese or vanilla icing and buy food color and put sum in and mix!
