For a richer flavor, try using butter-flavored shortening. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free icing. If the icing becomes too thick, add water sparingly, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach the right consistency. This icing can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Bring to room temperature and re-whip before using.

Mar 10, 2023Be careful not to overmix after adding the final amount of sugar. I overmixed mine and it became too stiff.
