Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Wedding Cake Frosting.
Step 1
To create a deliciously smooth icing, start by placing your shortening, water, clear imitation vanilla extract, salt, and almond extract into the bowl of your stand mixer.
Step 2
Attach the paddle attachment and mix everything together on medium speed until the mixture is beautifully smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Next, gradually add in half of the sifted powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until it’s fully incorporated.
Step 4
Once combined, turn up the speed and let it beat for at least five minutes—if you want an even lighter texture, feel free to go for up to ten minutes.
Step 5
After that, gently fold in the remaining powdered sugar, mixing just until everything is combined.
Step 6
If you find the icing is a bit too thick for your liking, don’t worry! Simply add water, one tablespoon at a time, until you achieve that perfect spreading consistency.
Step 7
Enjoy the process and watch your icing transform into a delightful topping for your favorite treats!.
