For a richer flavor, substitute half of the shortening with unsalted butter. Adjust the consistency by adding water, one teaspoon at a time, for a thinner icing or confectioners' sugar for a thicker icing. Clear vanilla extract is essential for maintaining a bright white color. Avoid using regular vanilla extract, which will tint the icing slightly. This icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Re-beat before using to restore its smooth texture.
