I explain further in this&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0bjHWVVB5t8J2Bjp9yNUczbeFQqq1Qk9dPk9aMkVzAdYXw7NFiSScjvXDBTr8HtdGl&amp;id=594278647865074&amp;mibextid=pwzuuw\" target=\"_blank\">post<\/a>). 3.5- 4 cups equals one pound.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Low sugar option: Substitute some of the sugar with tapioca flour. The more you substitute, the less sweet the frosting will be. You can experiment with stevia or monk fruit to help add more sweetness.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1 and \u2153 cup organic palm oil shortening by Nutiva or Spectrum<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u00bd cup plant milk or water<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>2 teaspoons organic vanilla or other extract&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pinch of salt (optional) (see my <a href=\"https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2020\/09\/15\/salt-with-lower-lead-and-heavy-metals\/\">salt guide<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural food dye; in my opinion, the best as far as toxicity of ingredients is <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BxbkN9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BxbkN9<\/a> (Amazon Associates link)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Mix one cup at a time of sugar with small amounts of liquid, using en electric mixer. Add vanilla and and food coloring last. To make the color swirl pattern shown in my photos, I mixed small bowls with a different color in each, and then put some of each in the piping bag with a long cake decorating spatula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tricky part is getting a perfect consistency. Sometimes you need more water, sometimes a little less water. But the great thing is that you can manipulate the icing to get the proper consistency by adding more water or more confectioners\u2019 sugar. Consistency is very important; it needs to be thin enough to squeeze through a piping tool, but firm enough to hold a shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">More Links:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out my Facebook post about&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid02tdE5VZsYsUQccrPEM5rsJ6asLs6rMx2stzWsKKyPb3Akac2prPjY3foBaR21Ur5Al&amp;id=594278647865074&amp;mibextid=pwzuuw\" target=\"_blank\">tips for healthier baking.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for all of my heathy recipes, see&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/media\/set\/?set=a.913009415991994&amp;type=3\" target=\"_blank\">this album<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>To check out new and additional posts, please visit and \u201clike\u201d my&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/CleanGreenToxicantFree\/\">Facebook page<\/a>.
