For the best texture, ensure your shortening is at room temperature but not overly soft. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a silky-smooth frosting. Adjust the amount of heavy cream to achieve your desired consistency. For piping, a stiffer frosting is ideal, while a slightly thinner consistency is perfect for spreading. For a richer flavor, try using salted butter-flavored shortening. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow it to come to room temperature and re-whip before using.

Dec 2, 2021The vanilla flavor is perfect, not too overpowering. I added a drop of almond extract for a little something extra.
