ButterCream Icing Recipe

1 Stick of Salted Butter- room temperature
1 Cup of Shortening- room temperature
1 tsp clear Vanilla flavoring
1 tsp butter flavoring
1/4 cup of water
1 package (2 lbs) of Domino's 10x confectionery sugar (do not use a generic version)


1. Cream the Shortening and butter together until they are evenly incorporated.
2. Add the liquid ingredients and stir more
3. Add in confectionery sugar and mix until it is all incorporated.

If you aren't using salted butter add salt to taste to take away the sharp sweetness of the icing.

I prefer to use to use a stand mixer. It will incorporate less air and make for a smoother icing.
