I use Crisco, but since I'm not covering the cake in it you don't really "eat" very much of it but adding the flavoring helps the taste. I use so many they don't stay around long.
Katy, When I have to make a lot of at one time for up coming cakes I don't use butter or milk in my icing, just water, a little flavoring and a little shortening and confectioner 10x sugar. This icing is just for making flowers not icing my cakes. I do this because they will keep longer without having to be refrigerated or frozen. Then I let them air dry. I have a cabinet where I store them.
Thank you for letting me know. I've adjusted some settings and hopefully I made the correct changes to allow comments. And, thank you for your comments on my cakes.
Thanks Katy for your wonderful comments. I only started making cakes for my daughters first birthday (shes now 7) and everything I know about cakes I learned from google! But I really want to do it full time, one of these days...
Katy, On your flowers, something you might try. At the small end of your tip you might open it up just a little. Stick a knife in and give it a little twist (just a little bit) so the opening will let the icing slide thru better. Doesn't take much. I had to do this with some of mine. Just don't open to much. HTH
katy, The II & III Staffords got cakes.I've been making cakes for this family for years. From weddings to babies to anniversaries and everything in between. Lovely family.
Ok Katy, I really don' understand this I have tried to get back on Lovely Tutorials this morning and it won't bring it up for me! Do you think I am doing something wrong? I have registered. Do you have it bookmarked? I think if I get back on there I will just make hard copies of the tutorials I need. lol If no problem can you send me the link again to see if it works. Thanks and have a great day!
Katy, you must have the real touch. Your link worked and I got registered so hopefully I won't have to keep bothering you. Thank you very much for your help and patience.

Please accept my apologies.
