Nerrt's Butter Cream Icing

NERRT'S BUTTER CREAM ICING

2 cups shortening

8 cups confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons clear imitation vanilla extract
6 fluid ounces heavy cream

• Cream shortening until fluffy. Add confectioner's sugar and continue creaming until well blended.
• Add salt, vanilla, and whipping cream blend on low speed until moistened. Add additional whipping cream if necessary (up to 2 ounces). Beat at high speed until frosting is fluffy.

Note: You get 7.5 cups of icing with this recipe, so I halved it. I used regular milk as I had no heavy cream, and I used coloured vanilla as it really didn't change the colour all that much.
