Buttercream Icing Recipe
Thick and creamy buttercream recipe is perfect for decorating
For best results, keep the prepared icing refrigerated when you're not using it. This buttercream recipe can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it after keeping it refrigerated, whip again for a few minutes. Makes 3 cups. Thin the icing with light corn syrup for icing cake or use as prepared for decorating.- 1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
- 4 cups (1 lb.) sifted confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon clear vanilla extract
Easy Elmo Cake Decorating Ideas
Make an Elmo cake even if you're not a cake decorator
Even inexperienced cake decorators can make a super-cute Elmo cake with this easy idea. Bake a round cake and a batch of cupcakes. Frost the round cake red and arrange two white-frosted cupcakes for the eyes. Cut off the top half of one cupcake and frost it orange for the nose, and draw a mouth and black dots on the eyes with ready-to-use black icing

Here's another idea that's even easier: Elmo cupcakes! Frost a batch of cupcakes in red. Use mini marshmallows with a dot of black icing for eyes, an orange jellybean or M&M for a nose, and black icing for a drawn-on mouth. Little guests will love getting their own mini Elmo cupcake!
