This wedding cake frosting is very easy. Thin it with a little more water to ice the cake, or use a little less to make the decorations.

- 1.5 teaspoons clear imitation vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons almond extract

Combine shortening, water, vanilla, salt, and almond extract in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat until smooth and creamy. Gradually mix in 1/2 of the powdered sugar, then continue to mix for a minimum of 5 minutes (or preferably up to 10 minutes).

Brownie Mix-Black Bean Brownies
You won't believe how chocolate-y and moist these brownies are. I like to make them in mini muffin cups with mini foil cupcake liners. Dust them with powdered sugar and you have a decadent treat with the benefit of more protein, more fiber, and fewer fat calories.

Bourbon Little Smokies
My grandmother makes smokies this way, and I have to say I have never seen a similar recipe. It's a nice twist on a recipe that has only a few variations.
