Betty's Snowy White Buttercream Frosting (Grandson Carter Helps) Recipe Video

In this video, Betty makes Snowy White Buttercream Frosting. This is made with confectioner's sugar, a white shortening, and no colored flavorings, in order to maintain its dramatic, white look. My grandson, Carter, helped use this frosting, colored green, to frost cookies for Saint Patrick's Day.
