Decorating Frosting

thanks for the recipe Mom!

This is the BEST and least "Crisco-tasting" frosting I've found--I would recommend using 1/2 butter for your cupcakes.  'Melissa Anderson'

1 lb. Crisco - (2 1/4 cups) - don't use the cheaper shortening--it tastes terrible!
2 tsp. vanilla
2 lbs. powdered sugar (approximately 7 1/2 - 8 cups)
Dash of salt
Approximately 1/2 c. milk
