I have been asked to have a light less sugary frosting on a upcoming order.
They have requested a whipped frosting. Does this recipe make a white icing?

Thank you!

I have not made it but I'd say yes it will be white - just not a pure stark white.
Did you know there are something like 5,000 shades of white paint??
My b'c used 1/2 & 1/2 butter/shortening and the only time I had anyone complain that had linnens that were *blue* white on the table so my cake looked yellowish 
Wilton makes a white-white icing color. I have used this and found it works pretty well. If you find that your icing isn't white enough, you can add some of it.
Thank you all for your responses!!
I thought about using the clear vanilla. I have heard of the violet and I have some of Wilton's icing lightener and I have some of Americolor's as well.
I have noticed the more I whip butter the whiter it becomes. I thought it was just me!
Thank you all for reminding me of all these tips!!!!!!! I'm going to do a trial run because the frosting has to be light and not heavy. If I had the ability to get Pastry Pride or Rich's then I would so I have to go this route.

Here's another question!!! I just reread the recipe and it says it does not crust!
Okay, this is a really elementary question but how smooth does this frosting look once it is applied to the cake? It will be weird not being able to do the Viva method which I always use. I need my cakes to be absolutely smooth with a lighter texture frosting. I also have to put an edible image on my cakes so I want to make sure I can use this. Does it pipe well?
