For the best results, ensure the vegetable shortening is at room temperature before creaming. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, lump-free frosting. Clear vanilla extract will maintain the pure white color of the frosting, ideal for vibrant decorations. Do not overwhip the frosting, as this can cause it to become too airy and unstable.
