A delightful buttercream icing recipe perfect for decorating cakes and cookies.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the solid vegetable shortening and fine salt.
Ensure the shortening is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Gradually add the pure vanilla extract and sifted confectioners' sugar to the bowl, mixing continuously.
Add the sugar slowly to prevent it from puffing out of the bowl.
Slowly incorporate the room temperature water into the mixture until the icing reaches a fluffy consistency.
Adjust the water quantity slightly to achieve your desired consistency.
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth to prevent the icing from drying out while in use.
This step is crucial to maintain the icing's texture during decorating.
Fill a decorator bag fitted with your desired decorating tip with the icing and use it to pipe decorations onto cakes or cookies.
Practice on parchment paper before decorating your dessert to perfect your technique.
