How do we make icing for cupcakes and cookies?

Question

By using simple easy ingredients that can be bought in malaysia.. thx.

Answer 1

I have decorated cakes for 30 years now. The recipe from Wilton is to greasy for me.

I use:

1 c. Crisco (plain if you want white, butter if you want the flavor & do not mind a ivory color)

2 lbs. powdered sugar

1 t. vanilla

1 t. butter flavor (if you did not use butter crisco)

1/2 c. more or less water

I cream together the Crisco & flavorings, then add powdered sugar alternating with water until it is the consistency you wish. Beat until light & fluffy. This makes beautiful roses & borders.
