Butter Cream Icing Ingredients:
• 1/2 cup Solid vegetable shortening
• 1/2 cup Butter or margarine*
• 1 teaspoon Wilton® clear vanilla extract
• 4 cups Sifted confectioners’ sugar (approx. 1
lb.)
Butter Cream Icing Directions:
1. Cream butter and shortening with electric mixer. Add vanilla. Gradually add sugar, one cup at a time,
beating well on medium speed. Scrape sides and bottom of bowl often. When all sugar has been mixed
in, icing will appear dry.
2. Add milk and beat at medium speed until light and fluffy. Keep icing covered with a damp cloth until
ready to use. For best results, keep icing in an airtight container in refrigerator when not in use. Can be
stored 2 weeks. Rewhip before using. Yield: 3 cups
*Substitute all vegetable shortening and 1/2 teaspoon Wilton® No-Color Butter Flavor for pure white icing
and stiffer consistency.
** Add 3-4 tablespoons light corn syrup per recipe to thin before icing cake.

1. Bake cake in Spider-Man pan. Let cool. Remove cake from pan. Ice cake sides and background areas
smooth.
2. Referring to photo, outline body and web design on suit with #3 icing tip.
3. Outline and pipe in black and white eye areas with #3 icing tip. Smooth with finger dipped in
cornstarch.
4. Cover body, head, arms and hands with #16 icing tip stars. Set aside.
5. Brush 18" round board with a light layer of piping gel; cover with fondant.
6. Spray center area with blue Color Mist and outer area with violet. Divide board into 12ths. Referring
to photo, pipe tip #16 strings in butter cream icing from edge to center at each division point; add curved
lines with #16 icing tip for web effect.
