Steps

1

First, cream the butter with the shortening and meringue powder until the mixture becomes pale.
2

Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar.
3

Add the vanilla or your preferred flavor (I also like to make it lemon-flavored with a tablespoon of lemon juice and zest) and gradually add the water. The amount varies depending on the climate! Only add until you reach the desired consistency!
4

You can add gel food coloring as you like.
5

You can refrigerate this frosting for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. When using it, take it out of the fridge a couple of hours before, beat it for a couple of minutes, and it's ready!

The sky's the limit for decorating with this frosting!

You can cover cakes, make designs, etc.
