The perfect compliment to my Raspberry White Velvet Cake.

As with the cake, the icing can be flavored the same with chocolate or fresh berries.

For the best results with the icing, use Crisco and not store brand shortening. Make sure to mix the icing at least 15-20 minutes for silky and creamy icing.

If you intend to decorate the cake with flowers and such, the icing can be thinned using 2 tbsp. of evaporated milk or water. (I recommend evap. milk to keep the creamy texture.)

      Thanks John!!! It really is good. It can be used for decorating as well, but anyone who is going to decorate with it shouldn't beat it for that length of time. It should only be beaten for 8-10 minutes. It becomes too soft to decorate with, but it ices a cake beautifully!
