    List of Ingredients




    1 Stick margarine
    2/3 c Shortening
    1 lb Confectioners' sugar
    1 t Vanilla extract
    1/2 t Almond extract

    Recipe



    Cream margarine and shortening with electric mixer. Add confectioners'
    sugar and mix well. Add vanilla and almond extract and continue to
    beat for several minutes until almost white. When ready to pipe
    through pastry tube, thin slightly with water or milk, added a
    tablespoon at a time. Mix in tint, as desired.

    Texturing: Use knife to make swirls, fork to make lines, or pastry
    bag with basketweave tip. If desired, pipe rosettes around base of
    cake for a finished look. For Easter basket "grass," tint shredded
    coconut green with liquid food color mixed with water. Scatter jelly
    beans around the basket or decorate with brightly dyed eggs.

    Makes 4 cups.
