Color with paste colors. This icing is a light yellow and colors you add will be affected by this. For pure white icing, use 1 cup regular Crisco shortening and ½ tsp. Wilton butter flavoring. This icing is somewhat stiffer. For blazing white, add Wilton White White. Wilton White White will also make the first buttercream recipe whiter, but be careful with colors as they will still tend to be yellowish. (I have never worried about the frosting color nor have I ever used food colorings on it. Natural looks fine to me but I left in the last paragraph in case it matters to you.)
