    Pastry Wiz

    List of Ingredients

    Cake:
    2 Cups flour
    1 1/2 Cup sugar
    1/4 Cup shortening
    1/4 Cup butter, softened
    1 Cup milk
    3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. vanilla
    3 eggs

    Frosting:
    orange food coloring
    2/3 cup water
    12 cups confectioners sugar (powder sugar)
    1-1/4 cups shortening
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
    1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla flavoring
    1/4 teaspoon butter flavoring

    Recipe

    Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 13x9x2-inch pan.
    Beat all ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on high 3 minutes. Pour into pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes, remove from pan and cool on wire rack.

    Frosting:
    Mix 4 cups of sugar with water, one cup at a time, beating after each addition at low speed. Alternately add shortening and remainder of sugar. Add salt and flavorings; beat at low speed until smooth. It is best to use a heavy duty mixer. To avoid powder sugar from going all over cover your bowl with a towel while mixing. Mix in orange color paste or 2 drops of yellow and 1 drop of red food coloring and mix.

    Spread frosting on top and sides of cake. Sprinkle autumn colored candies on top.
