WILTON BUTTERCREAM ICING
A great icing that we used in Wilton Cake Decorating Class. Would produce amazing results everytime. Thinning is done easily by adding water. This recipe makes "stiff" consistency. To make "medium" add one tablespoon milk or water. To make "thin" icing (perfect consistency for decorating a cake with the basic coating) Add two tablespoons of milk or water. If you want pure white icing, which is the perfect base to tint, use the white crisco shortening and any clear vanilla extract (wilton makes a great one). Using any others will give a faint creamy color that may affect the shade you try and tint with. Using water will give you a stable product that needs no refridgeration and the icing will keep indefinately in the fridge if you keep it in a covered container. If it dries out in the fridge you can always just add a bit of water to bring it back to the consistency you need. If you over thin at any time, just add more icing sugar to thicken. Very versatile product!

Tips:
- To make a smooth and creamy icing, make sure the butter and shortening are at room temperature before creaming them together. This will help the ingredients combine more easily and create a lighter and fluffier texture.
- Gradually add the confectioners' sugar to the butter and shortening mixture. This will help prevent the icing from becoming too thick or grainy.
- Add a little bit of milk or cream to the icing if it is too thick. This will help to thin it out and make it easier to spread.
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder instead of regular cocoa powder.
- For a more colorful icing, add a few drops of food coloring to the mixture.
- If you are using the icing to decorate a cake or cupcakes, chill it for at least 30 minutes before spreading it on. This will help the icing to set and hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Chocolate Crisco icing is a delicious and versatile icing that can be used to decorate a variety of desserts. It is easy to make and can be customized to suit your own taste. Whether you are looking for a simple and classic icing or something more decadent and flavorful, Chocolate Crisco icing is sure to please.
