Betty Crocker Fluffy White Frosting Mix
makes a wonderful can’t-fail Decorator Icing
No need to make up a special separate batch of icing to decorate your
cake! One package makes plenty to frost your cake and decorate it, too:
To 1 cup prepared Fluffy White Frosting...
Blend in 1 to 1½ cups _sifted_ confectioners’ sugar (add a little at a
time until frosting is stiff enough to hold its shape)....
Blend in 1 tbsp. soft butter and a dash of salt.
Note: Increase sugar and butter when using more than 1 cup frosting.
_Is it thick enough? Is it thin enough?_ Try a little with the tip you
plan to use. If too thin, blend in a little more confectioners’ sugar.
If too thick, blend in a drop or two of water.
