1. Cream together the margarine and shortening.
2. Add vanilla and soy milk to the mixture. Combine.
3. Add in sifted powered sugar (make sure their are no lumps) 1/2 cup at a time.
4. Mix in corn syrup and food color(optional).
Tips:
- If you live in a humid climate, use 1/2 tablespoons less soy milk. If you live in dry climate, add about 1/2 tablespoons more.
- Corn syrup is not essential but keeps the frosting from cracking and adds a nice sheen to the cake.
- For a whiter frosting, use clear vanilla.
- Using a hand mixer or kitchen aid makes it much easier to get the frosting smooth.
- Add 1 ts. of any other flavorings you like ( I love using orange extract to make an orange cream frosting or artificial butter extract to get a really buttery icing).
Enjoy!
