High-Ratio Sweetex Frosting

This is the recipe I use exclusively when I don’t make a REAL butter buttercream. It uses Sweetex high-ratio shortening.

  2. Beat Sweetex and slowly add water until fully incorporated. Beat in meringue powder. Gradually add powdered sugar. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed.

Love this recipe! Since there is no butter, can you keep the extra and reuse? Just re-whip before use. Will it ever go bad? I used some orange flavoring and it seemed to not smell as orange after a few days.
