For everyone who is confused on what type of frosting this is, its a swiss meringue buttercream sometimes called whipped icing. whipped icing to most people is made with heavy whipping cream, sugar and flavoring. hope this helps.

@FayL8183 You can get shortening in the UK, the brand is generally called Trex and you can buy it from Tesco

Does it set really hard so I can pattern over the top???



Ok. Here are the measurements I use in my shop. Everything is by weight. For a small batch dissolve 1lb of sugar in 8 oz of egg whites.
cream 2lb 2 oz of butter (or sub 1 lb of shortening for 1lb butter if it is hot in your region) with 8 oz of powdered sugar & 2 tsp of vanilla.
I hope this helps.
