Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white Crisco
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 4 teaspoons meringue powder
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 2 lbs powdered sugar
  • Dream Whip, 1/2 pkg

Method

  • Place all ingredients, EXCEPT SUGAR, into a bowl and whip until creamy. Add sugar, a little at a time. Beat on medium speed for 6 minutes. This will be quite firm -- add water and coloring to various bowls of frosting to obtain whatever consistency you need for that particular job. This batch will frost and decorate a double layer 9 inch cake and perhaps leave some over for crumb coating a future cake.
