How to Make Authentic No Refrigeration Bakery Frosting Icing
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon almond extract.
- Gradually beat in 6 cups of powdered sugar, adding it one cup at a time, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency. Start with 2 tablespoons and add more as needed.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
