Does anyone know a good recipe for cake writing icing?

Icing and frosting are the same thing; use the basic buttercream in the first answer and you can't go wrong. Thin it with a teaspoon of milk to write with more easily....it's all in the consistency.





I use this one;





1 2lb bag 10x powdered sugar


2 cups shortening or 1 1/2 cups shortening and 1/2 cup butter


1 tsp vanilla


1 tsp butter flavoring if you don't use butter


begin with 1/4 cup milk and add more a tablespoon at a time until desired consistency is reached. You have to have a stand mixer to make this though, you'll burn up a hand mixer!Does anyone know a good recipe for cake writing icing?
butter


icing sugar


beat for ages
Here is the Wilton buttercream recipe


For 1.5 cups icing


1/4 cup veg shortening


1/4 cup butter or margarine


2 cups powdered sugar


1 tablespoon milk





That is for icing, for writing add 1-3 teaspoons of milk/water(depends on how you want it)
Icing sugar=powdered sugar.
