White Cake Icing - Just like buttercream.

I found this recipe for decorating cake icing on Cooks.com. I was really happy with the way it turned out.

1 1/2 c. Shortening (9 oz. by weight)
2 Tbs. butter
2 tsp vanilla (use clear for white frosting)
Dash of salt
1/2 c. warm water
2 lb. confectioner's (powdered) sugar

Cream butter & shortening until fluffy. Add vanilla & part of water. Beat on medium and gradually add sugar and add the rest of water. Add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
