For years I have searched and searched and searched...and even did some more searching to find a frosting that was identical or almost identical to the frosting you taste from a bakery. And I finally found one! This one right here! You have to try it! I'm tired of the same ole' "butter, powdered sugar and vanilla" type frosting. This frosting can actually be a little expensive because it calls for 5 different extracts. But it's so well worth it. Especially if you're really wanting that "wow factor."

How to Make The Absolute Best Buttercream Frosting... Ever!
- In a small cup, measure out water and salt. Set aside and let the salt dissolve.
- If you have a standing mixer it is highly recommended. But a hand held mixer with a very large bowl will work also.
Cream together the Crisco and butter until well combined. - Add meringue powder and all the extracts and flavorings. Mix well.
- On low speed, gradually add the powdered sugar until well combined.
It will get clumpy after the whole 2lbs. has been distributed. - Continue on low speed and gradually add salt/water mix.
Add more water to frosting if necessary.
