Buttercream Icing
Ingredients:
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1/2 cup butter or margarine*
1 teaspoon Clear Vanilla
4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approx. 1 lb.)
2 tablespoons milk**
Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.
YIELD: 3 cups

Easy...With a handmixer or kitchenaid, mix 1 cup crisco with 4 cups powdered sugar. Add a few tablespoons of milk until you get a smooth consistency. Do it slowly...Add a tablespoon of vanilla or almond extract.

An easy way is to whip some cream and add some vanilla and icing sugar,and either cocoa or melted chocolate, if you want chocolate topping.

Are you talking about icing???? Go to the store and buy the ready made icing - it works just fine without the mess.
