THANKS for sharing. Very pretty and well done. Is the icing made with butter or veg. shortening. I know Wilton calls their icing buttercream but can be make with 100% veg. shortening or 1/2 shortening & 1/2 butter. What state do you live in ? In Calif they took out the transfat from the veg. shortening in the whole state so the icing no longer has that elastic quality like it use to. When piping shells, etc. it just breaks at the end, does not form into a nice smooth finish. Any suggestions ?

@maggie90703 I have the same problem too Trans Fat, and I don't have the solution

Here's my recipe:

Buttercream recipe

2 cups shortening

2 pounds powdered sugar, sifted

2 Tbsp meringue powder

2 tsp flavoring

7 Tbsp water

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.

Can you use any kind of stencil for this?

@swarso1 Yes, I've used stencils that were originally made for wall paint

Thank you for your quick response and for sharing the recipe. It is the same one I use only I cut the recipe in half. I am going to try the recipe using the flavored coffee creamers and will let you know how it turns out.
