Here are some great recipes (I have used them):Buttercream IcingMakes: About 3 cups of icingThis Buttercream Icing recipe is perfect for spreading or decorating. Follow our instructions to make it the ideal consistency you need. 1/2 cups solid vegetable shortening 1/2 cups (1 stick) butter or margarine softened 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract4 cups sifted confectioners' sugar (approximately 1 pound) 2 tablespoons milk For Medium Spread ConsistencyIn large bowl, cream shortening & butter with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time, beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides & bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed in, icing will appear dry. Add milk & beat at medium speed until light & fluffy. Keep bowl covered with a damp cloth until ready to use. For best results, keep icing bowl in refrigerator when not in use. Refrigerated in an airtight container, this icing can be stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using.Thin Spreading ConsistencyFor thin spreading consistency icing, add 2 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk.For Pure White Icing – Stiff ConsistencyFor stiff consistency, omit butter; substitute an additional 1/2 cups shortening for butter & add 1/2 teaspoons No-Color Butter Flavor. Add up to 4 tablespoons light corn syrup, water or milk to thin for icing cakes.===================== Chocolate Buttercream FrostingYields 2 ½ cups2 foil wrapped bars (4 ounces) Nestle unsweetened chocolate baking bars1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter1 teaspoon vanilla1/4 teaspoons salt3 1/2 cups (1 pound) confectioners' sugar1/2-2/3 cups milkIn small, heavy-gauge saucepan, combine Nestle unsweetened chocolate baking bars & butter.

This icing recipe is #1! It's quick and easy to make, bright white for cake decorating, and you can easily change it's consistency! This is the most important icing recipe you'll ever have. It's so basic, it makes the hassle of cake decorating so much easier! If you wish, use half shortening and half unsalted butterIngredients4 cups confectioners' sugar 1 cup shortening 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon clear imitation vanilla extract DirectionsIn a large bowl, combine sugar, shortening, water and vanilla. Beat on low speed to combine, then beat on medium speed for a full five minutes. It won't look like Icing at first, but keep the mixer going for a full five minutes, and then you're done! Note: If you're not using this for decorating, but just for icing the cake, thin the icing by adding 3 tbs. of corn syrup, or water to the icing.

You can look for a recipe for a cooked frosting if that's what you want to make with flour and granulated sugar. Most frostings will also need milk, or a soy or almond milk. A simple butter cream frosting is to cream together 1/3 cup softened butter with 3 cups powdered sugar, then add 1 tsp. vanilla extract and 2 to 3 Tbs. milk. Whip this all together. Add a little more milk, a teaspoon at a time if needed, until spreading consistency.
