I've been trying to figure out the cake decorator icing of one of my
favorite local bakeries. I started out with 'Wilton's Decorator Icing'
recipe (I found it on one of their pans).

I modified this recipe by adding an additional 1 and 1/2 tsp of vanilla, but
it didn't seem the same when I did a taste test. I'm thinking that I have
too much powdered sugar. It seems pasty.

I'm wondering if the Wilton's recipe is a cheapened form of icing. It seems
like they cheapen and extend the icing by adding additional cups of powdered
sugar, each with an additional tablespoon of milk. Maybe by eliminating
several cups of powdered sugar and tbsp of milk I'll have the right recipe.
