This recipe came from Allrecipes.com The original recipe called for 2 cups shortening but I followed the advice of one reviewer and used 1 cup shortening and 1 cup real butter instead. I loved it!!! She said the all shortening version tasted like grocery store bakery icing. I didn't try that. She said if you used all butter instead (2 cups) that it was very rich and pleasing to most adults. I tried that and didn't like it as well as the 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening version.
