25 Days of Christmas
Day 6
Are you looking for a frosting that will bring your gingerbread men alive or make your sugar cookies works of arts?
How about those Christmas cupcakes or that gingerbread house, this frosting will bring all of these creative pieces together.
This is a recipe you can make in advance so the hard part is already done, all you have to do is decorate your project.
This is what I did today, I made my frosting this morning for when I make my next batch of gingerbread men and my sugar cookies.
Ingredients
1/2 c shortening
1/2 c butter or margarine
8 c confectioners sugar
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla
Directions
Blend all ingredients on a low-speed blender. Continue to blend until fluffy. Add only enough milk to make creamy, but stiff enough to create a frosting masterpiece.
Happy Creating and Decorating!

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
