This is enough frosting to frost an 8 inch layer cake. You will need more for decorating with flowers or ribbons.
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 stick of butter softened
- 1/2 cup shortening
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup half and half
- pinch of salt
- Cream butter and shortening until fluffy. Add confectioners sugar one cup at a time, beating well each time. Add vanilla and salt with half and half a little at a time. You may need to add more half and half depending on the consistancy you want. Beat on high until fluffy. Spread on cake.

That's gorgeous. Eight inch layers look proportionally neater to me somehow with some notable exceptions.

I have a recipe that I found which is all shortening instead of butter and it uses powdered milk, it holds up in humidity, if you want it let me know
