Thanks Miles and Pat to get this started.

The First one on my list

Cake Frosting
3 Cups Sifted Powdered Sugar
1/3 Cup Crisco(NOT liquid, Shorting only)
1/4 Cup Boiling Water
1/2 Teaspoon White Vanilla or any White Flavoring

Beat until smooth with mixer.(Make sure you have a mixer, this usually takes 10-20 minutes to mix.) Taste just like store bought.

Learned this one in 4-H also.
