Mix shortening, water and flavoring. Slowly add 1/2 the powdered sugar and mix for 2 minutes. Add meringue then the rest of the sugar. Mix for another 2 minutes until creamy. Do not whip if you planning on spreading the frosting because it will leave bubbles in the frosting.

@Skuksy I'll agree it looks time consuming, but it takes the same amount of time to frost, smooth, and decorate a regular cake. After my first one I was able to do it much faster.
3:12 I just love this one. The colors are so complementary and the cake is pleasing to the eye. Thank you!

that's beautiful!!! how many cups of buttercream did you use to crumbcoat and decorate your cake? oh and what size and height were the cakes? thanks!

@chebean2 This cake is 8" and 6" rounds. I used about double what I would normally use for just frosting it normal.
Crumb coat a 2 layer cake takes about 1 cup (I keep it pretty thin)
Pipping easily takes another 5 to 6 cups. Just take whatever you would normally use and double it, then you will have enough. ;) HTH

@chebean2 Bottom cakes are 8", top are 6". Both are 4 inches tall. I only use about 1 to 2 cups to crumb coat this cake.
