- In a mixing bowl, cream together butter and shortening.
- Add the flour mixture and vanilla extract, while constantly mixing.
- Add powdered sugar (1/4 cup at a time) and continue mixing, until you have the desired consistency and flavor. This step is optional
- Use this frosting to pipe your cakes/cupcakes and enjoy!
