cake frosting

This is a simple recipe I found a while ago that I really like and always get compliments on. :) It's the perfect consistency cake decorating. 1/2 cup shortening 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 4 tablespoons warm water 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, combine shortening, salt, vanilla, water and confectioners' sugar. Beat until light and fluffy. (I cannot figure why it posts like this. I've tried to change it twice and it's not working. Sorry.)
