BASIC BUTTERCREAM ICING RECIPE:
1 lb. powdered sugar, ¼ cup cold water, 1 cup shortening (hi-ratio preferred), ¼ tsp. salt, 1 tsp. vanilla extract (clear vanilla preferred); Combine and beat all ingredients until smooth. [ DOUBLE RECIPE FOR EACH CLASS ]

NOTE: We strongly recommend that you use the buttercream icing from Pila’s Pantry FOR THE FIRST CLASS. This way, when you make your own icing for other classes, you’ll know what the consistency is supposed to be like. You can then stiffen it with additional powdered sugar or thin it down with additional water. “BUTTER”-based Buttercream icing tastes great, but isn’t easy to use for decorating because it’s too soft. Feel free to try it, but the “hi-ratio shortening”-based buttercreams work much better.
