Recipe(tried): Wedding Cake Frosting, Bonni, NH

I am not a caterer, but have done several weddings for family and friends. I always use Duncan Hines cake mixes, but make my own fillings and frosting.

The frosting recipe I use is:

1 cup shortening (Crisco, if you want pure white, if not you may want to use 1/2 cup oleo or butter and 1/2 cup Crisco.)
1 lb. confectioner's sugar

Flavor to taste with vanilla and butter or add almond.

There are no rules now as to flavor of the cake, the filling, or frosting. I am doing one this summer that will have an oreo cookie filling and candy bar fillings.

Hope this helps.
