Best Ever White Icing

[NerdyNina101]

did you sift your sugar?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@NerdyNina101 If I didn't say it, then I didn't. I cannot remember. Also, it would be in the directions. Sorry this is an old video, so I can't remember

[NerdyNina101]

@CookingAndCrafting ok thank you!!! :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@NerdyNina101 From the directions, it doesn't look like I did. (Sorry, old video, I cannot remember)

@CookingAndCrafting thx



[PurplePhoebe]

I'm in the UK what is shortening please?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@PurplePhoebe in the UK shortening is available under brand names such as Cookeen, Trex, White Flora, etc.

[iheartcupcakes23]

can i use cream cheese or butter to substitute the shortening, because we don't have that here in Hong Kong.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@iheartcupcakes23 I would suggest looking at Yoyomax12's butter cream recipe. She has it listed on her channel page

[1jojolicious]

Hubby's favorite icing ;-)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@1jojolicious Lots of people freak out when they know the contents though ;)

[nicogs97]

cool

[CookingAndCrafting]

@nicogs97 Thanks :))  I appreciate your watching

[MouseChirpy]

I have never had any success making homemade frosting. It always tastes icky. Thank you for sharing this recipe. Your red, white and blue cupcakes look yummy and very festive!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MouseChirpy Tammy uses the same recipe for her cupcakes every time. I am going to give that a try next time. I just like the stuff that doesn't have to be refrigerated. Don't want a cold cake. Ick.

This is very close to Wilton Class Buttercream. Have you tried it with 1/2 tsp clear butter flavour and 1/2 tsp clear vanilla instead of the whole teaspoon of vanilla? You can also add a pinch of salt with your liquid to cut the sweetness (it's very sweet). It's also REALLY good if you use whipping cream (35%) instead of water for your liquid - you usually have to add a bit more, but it's amazing.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@j3wht I will have to give that a shot. I bet it tastes like heaven in the mouth

[lolaxian]

thanks for this upload, i watch all your videos. you seem like such a chill person :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@lolaxian Thanks, I appreciate it :)

[lolaxian]

@CookingAndCrafting np :)

[tweetnes]

I am liking this...The cupcakes look awesome..

BIG HUGS

[CookingAndCrafting]

@tweetnes They were soooo good, Irene!!

[starkrazi]

That type of frosting can burn the motor on a hand held mixer since its so thick. my wilton cake instructor told me that. she got me to buy a stand mixer and its so much easier :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@starkrazi Yep, I will definitely be using my stand mixer next time I make this. I didn't realize it was going to get so freaky thick,..but I know now :))

[constancestillwater]

Thank you ! I was just looking on-line for icing recipes because I like box mixes for cupcakes but not the ready made icing , so thanks again !

[CookingAndCrafting]

@constancestillwater I am the same way! It at least gives you a homemade feel to it as well!

[snarkdetriomphe]

i looooove icing made with shortening - so fluffy/creamy not overly sweet. yums. i want those 4th cupcakes i tell ya :)

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe OMGoodness me too. It is delish.. so I try not to think of me chomping on a mouthful of congealed fat and oil and whatnot ;)

[snarkdetriomphe]

they make clear vanilla? funkay.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe yes! Isn't it bizarre? But helps you keep that nice white to the frosting

[snarkdetriomphe]

hey kid

[CookingAndCrafting]

@snarkdetriomphe hey

[imperceptibleme]

I know it's good. When I make this, James asks... does this have crisco in it? and Of course I always tell the truth. That turns him off! He doesn't like Crisco icing. But he will eat butter cream.  Hugs girl!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@imperceptibleme Yeah...I totally understand that feeling. It turns me off but still I eat it!

[MissPonderosa]

could you give me permission to eat this on its own? It might make me feel a little better if I make it and have none left to put on the cake lol

[CookingAndCrafting]

@MissPonderosa Wow..okay go for it ;)

[AmberFaithChloe]

The other day I made this icing & I instantly fell in love with it! The BEST icing I've ever eaten! It's very light, not too sweet & eating it is like an orgasm in your mouth! It's called Crisco icing by the way.

[CookingAndCrafting]

@AmberFaithChloe LOL!  Yep, it is very good

[kareemtiheed]

WOW! this is torture looking at this icing....i wanted to dive in and swim in it. Oh yea then eat it. Can this last over night?

[CookingAndCrafting]

@kareemtiheed Definitely--it will last quite a bit

[AmberFaithChloe]

@kareemtiheed This can last quite some time even if you leave it out the entire day. There's no raw egg in the icing so it's okay.

[Fitange]

wonderful, im def gonna do my frosting this way. thanks beth

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Fitange you're welcome!

[hw1986430]

[CookingAndCrafting]

@hw1986430 aww well next time it will rock :)

[LLVT90]

Yummy! :] Good job!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@LLVT90 Thanks :)

[Ativabrand]

You can also add one teaspoon of butter flavor and one teaspoon almond extract with your teaspoon of vanilla and that gives it a great flavor

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Ativabrand I have pretty much that recipe already posted (I think it's called Bakery Frosting) and I think with the extracts, it takes away from any flavored cupcakes you are making (IMO). The vanilla cupcakes I just posted were so incredibly delicious that I would have hate to have mucked it up with almond extract trying to steal the show. However, if you are just doing a boxed cake mix ... Yep those work lovely

[Elvis66]

OMG, I making this next time I need icing!!! YUMMO!!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@Elvis66 Yey!

[LisainCalifornia]

Yum! I love white frosting. I know people are anti-shortening these days, but it does make some really good frosting. I also make butter cream frosting with butter, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla. I never use non-dairy creamer, because milk works better for me. Thanks for sharing! P.S. I made the turkey/tomato casserole last night. My family loved it!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@LisainCalifornia Yeah, a lot of people love the frosting until they know what it is and then want to gag. So it is always best to keep it on the down low ;)

Glad you ejoyed the casserole

[rhosteph]

Woohoo! 1st to view, and 1st to comment! Yummy!!

[CookingAndCrafting]

@rhosteph This just went live! Did you watch it??
