Birthdays have always been a big deal to us. Our mom would make us a poster out of butcher paper and hang it in the dining room. She'd decorate our bedroom door with balloons and streamers. She'd make us a special breakfast. We loved our birthdays! This recipe is for my favorite birthday cake frosting. I love it paired up with just a simple yellow cake mix. It also tastes great as the filling for chocolate chip cookie tarts and sugar cookie tarts.
Birthday Cake Frosting
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 1/2 cup Crisco
- 2 lb. powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. vanilla
(I cut the recipe in half if I am decorating cupcakes. That would be enough for 24 cupcakes. But if you are doing a cake that is two 9-inch circle layers, the full recipe is good because there's plenty to put in between the two layers, and frost the entire top, sides and if you are talented in making flowers and petals [which I'm not], then there's plenty for that.)
DIRECTIONS:
Cream all ingredients at high speed for 3 minutes. This is the best type of icing for decorating cakes. To thin down the icing for writing and borders, add a few drops of liquid. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Whip up before using the second time.
