I need a small batch of icing to write WHITE letters on a cake... can you please tell me a recipe?

INGREDIENTS


1 cup confectioners' sugar


1/4 cup shortening


1-1/2 teaspoons water


1/4 teaspoon clear imitation vanilla extract





DIRECTIONS


In a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won't look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you're done!


Note: If you're not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.I need a small batch of icing to write WHITE letters on a cake... can you please tell me a recipe?
You don't need to make it yourself. Justuy a ready-made tube at the supermarket in the baking aisle. They have assorted colors -- including white.I need a small batch of icing to write WHITE letters on a cake... can you please tell me a recipe?
sugar and unsalted butter, oh and some vanilla extract (but be careful because that could change the color).
go get one of the icing tubes at the grocery store for such a small decoration job
Start off with some cream cheese, a couple ounces. Then add 1-2 tablespoon of butter. The cream cheese and butter needs to be room temperature and then mix them together. Now, slowly blend confectionate sugar into the mix and add one teaspoon of vanilla extract. The amount of cream cheese, butter and confectionate sugar depends on how much icing you need. Play it by sight.





I use this recipe to frost my cake. It's delicious on chocolate cake. For a 9 x 13 cake, I would use 8 oz of cream cheese, half a stick of butter, one tablespoon of vanilla extract and 3 cups of confectionate sugar.

Powdered sugar and few drops of water... You could add a bit of Crisco, but not too much. It's so much easier to get a tube and be done with it. They also come with tips, so you can write really pretty with them.


Hope this helps.
