Tips Before Starting...

• Increase or decrease the water or butter for your desired consistency. Dry climates may require up to double the mount of added liquid to achieve desired consistency.
• Mix on low to medium to avoid air bubbles
• If using shortening - we suggest using high ratio shortening (not Crisco or meat fat shortenings)
• Use butter that is softened to room temperature
