Ingredients
10 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (clear if you wish)
1 cup of hot water
1 pound of unsalted butter, softened
1.5 pounds of vegetable shortening (I use all butter except when I'm doing a wedding cake that needs to be white!)
Directions
10 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla (clear if you wish)
1 cup of hot water
1 pound of unsalted butter, softened
1.5 pounds of vegetable shortening (I use all butter except when I'm doing a wedding cake that needs to be white!)
Directions
- Measure out your sugar and put in your bowl.
- Add 1 cup of very hot or boiling water. Add vanilla and salt too! Mix well.
- Now add your fats. Yep add all the shortening and the butter now.
- Ready! Now slowly, slow! Begin mixing it all up. First it will look like a curdled mess.
- As it starts to come together, begin adding speed, about slow/medium on the dial.
- Now turn it up to high medium and let it go. Set your timer to 15 minutes and step away from the mixer. It has to mix for 15 minutes.
