Decorative Frosting
4 tablespoons vegan shortening (I used Earth Balance)
1 tablespoon vegan butter (again, I used Earth Balance)
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 cup to 1 cup vegan powdered sugar (approx. - more or less as needed)
optional: food coloring
This recipe is great for decorative frosting, such as lettering or piping!
In a bowl or measuring cup, combine the shortening and butter. Mix well with a spoon or fork.
Add the vanilla, and mix well.
Slowly add the powdered sugar until it reaches the consistency you need. It may take a minute to fully mix in, just keep stirring! =)
(Note: I found it helpful while stirring to kind of smoosh the mixture against the wall of the measuring cup (or bowl), and then mix it all together; repeat as needed.)
Add the food coloring, if desired.
If you don't have a cake decorating bag, you can just put it all in a small Ziploc plastic baggie, cut a *tiny* bit of the corner off and use that.
SO HOW'D IT GO?

If you use this to write on cookies, will it set hard like royal icing? Thanks for the recipe!
I don't think so - every time I've used it, it stays somewhat mushy still :) I'm sure there's probably something you can do to make it harden, but I'm not sure what.

quick and easy, i enjoyed making and using this recipe to "color" my cake. :D
I've used this recipe a few times now and it's awesome! It works for piping, writing, dyeing, and everything else you could possibly want to do with frosting. And it makes a lot more than you'd think... it doesn't look like a lot when you first whip up the recipe, but a little goes a long way.
Yuuummm.
Ok, I didn't really measure.
I used the reccomended amount of butter and shortening. Buuut, I used about 3/4th of a bag of p-sugar.
and some vanilla pudding mix and some almond extract.
I might have made it too sweet, but oh wellll.
This was wonderful! I had a lot left over, so I gave it to my friends (meat/dairy/egg consumers) and they actually licked the bowl clean! It was delicious and very easy to decorate with. Might have been a tad thick for my taste, but still, AMAZING.
The hint about mashing the ingredients on the side of the bowl helped a lot, too. Thanks!
Very good!
