a what ratio of the frosting ingredients do you use. I have been

playing with a frosting using the Spectrum shortening & egg whites, &

honey, but can not seem to get the ratio's correct. I would be

interested to hear how you do it.

Thanks,

I was afraid you would ask -

I'm going to estimate I use about 1.5 cups of shortening, 1/4 cup of

honey, about 1/2 teaspoon or so of vanilla, and about 2-4 tablespoons

of butter (I don't always add butter though - it does't change the

frosting that much).

Finally, I beat it for a few minutes in a KitchenAid processor.

I just add stuff randomly.

Hope that helps!
