Do you like to decorate cakes for special events? The recipe below is a simple recipe for decorator’s frosting that anyone can do! This is yet another favorite of my mother’s. She used this frosting for our birthday cakes, graduation cakes, and every other special event that we had. Both the frosting recipes that you see here would go great on any flavor cake, but with the Decorator’s Frosting, you have to be careful to match the type of flavoring that you add with the flavor of the cake that you are making.

Decorator’s Frosting

1 cup shortening
2 pounds powdered sugar
½ cup water
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 teaspoons flavoring

Cream shortening in mixer bowl until light. Add powdered sugar, water, corn syrup, and desired flavoring; beat until fluffy.

I hope these recipes have been helpful and that they make your cake a hit!
