3 Tier Cake Journal Part Three -Frosting

There's a great little shop my Wilton cake instructor told me about. It's called Fabulous Cakes and Frostings in the city of Whittier. She told me I could find Brite White and this other tub with hi-ratio shortening - that make the most delicious frosting you can make. Another added benefit is if you're looking for a frosting that's super white, this one is it!
I called the store just to make sure and was told to mix it this way:
Hi-ratio Shortening
Brite White
3 lbs powdered sugar
flavorings
2/3 cup water - added little by little

So what you do is put in the big tub of Hi-ratio shortening first and mix.




Then put in the little tub of brite white and mixed some more.




Next, add your flavorings. In my case, I used Mexican vanilla. Then an oz. of brandy - mix again.
Now, little by little, put in your sugar.



When it starts to get too stiff, add some water.
Do this until you've run out of sugar and water.

The result is over 3 lbs of medium consistency brite white frosting!! As you can see, almost half of this 8 quart pot is full.

Oh, I think I hear a ring! YES!! It's the oven. The cakes are ready.
