How to Make Frosting For Wedding Cake

  1. In a large bowl, combine 4 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted shortening, 1/2 cup water, 1/4 cup non-dairy powdered creamer, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  3. Increase the mixer speed to high and beat for another 5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  4. If the frosting is too thick, add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, gradually add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, until thickened.
  5. Frost your cake evenly, reserving some frosting for decorating. Use a decorating set or piping bag for elegant designs.
  6. Garnish with edible flowers or other non-toxic wedding decorations for a stunning finishing touch.
