Ingredients

• 1 c. shortening (butter flavored)
• 1 c. butter
• 1½ tsp. vanilla extract
• ½ tsp. almond extract
• 7½ c. powdered sugar
• ⅓ c. heavy whipping cream
• gel or paste icing dyes

Directions

• In a large bowl, beat the shortening and butter until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla, almond extract and cream and mix until smooth.
• Add the powdered sugar 1-2 cups at a time, mixing well between each addition. Beat the frosting for an additional 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
• Using a toothpick, add the tiniest amount of dye at a time to the bowl of frosting to control your color. These dyes will color the frosting quickly, so there is no need to add too much.
