Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup vegetable shortening (Crisco)
1/2 cup butter, softened

2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream butter and shortening together with an electric mixer.

I love the vanilla flavor of this frosting. It's not too overpowering, and it pairs well with a variety of cakes and cupcakes.

This frosting is very rich and decadent. It's perfect for special occasions, but it's a bit too heavy for everyday use.

I had some trouble getting the frosting to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I was able to fix it by adding more powdered sugar.

This frosting is very good, but it's a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar if you prefer a less sweet frosting.

I'm not a fan of this frosting. It's too thick and heavy. I prefer a lighter and fluffier frosting.

This frosting is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I would only use it if I was in a pinch.

I was disappointed with this frosting. It was too sweet and greasy for my taste. I won't be making it again.
