Step 4

mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Cream together on medium speed until very light and

Step 5

fluffy, about 5 minutes. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl

Step 6

halfway through mixing. The mixture should be very pale yellow after mixing.

Step 7

Step 9

bowl periodically as you slowly incorporate the egg whites.

Step 11

three additions with the milk/sour cream mixture in two additions, starting and stopping with

Step 12

the dry ingredients. Mix on medium speed in between each addition until fully incorporated.

Step 13

5. Transfer the batter into the prepared pan. Bake at 350°F/175°C. A sheet cake will take about 35-45 minutes. Pull out of the oven when the cake is firm but springs back when gently pressed in on the center, or when a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

Step 14

6. Cool the cakes in their pan completely, then turn out on a cooling rack to allow for additional cooling.

Step 15

7. When completely cooled and the cake has reached room temperature, trim of hardened outer edges of the cake and discard. Then in a large mixing bowl crumble the cake into coarse crumbs.

Step 16

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, whip the butter for 1-2 minutes on medium high speed, or until smooth, creamy and lighter in color.

Step 17

Add shortening and mix well for an additional 2 minutes or until light/white in color.

Step 18

Slowly add 2 cups of powdered sugar. Mix until combined.

Step 19

Add vanilla and 1 cup of powdered sugar at a time and continue mixing. At this point you may need to add 1-2 TBSP of heavy cream to thin frosting. You want frosting to be thick, creamy, and to be able to hold a point.

Step 20

Beat frosting for a couple minutes on low speed with a paddle attachment to help it become light and airy. Stir with spatula and then frost.

Step 21

Melt candy melts in the microwave for 10 second intervals. If they need to be thinned you can use hot shortening or heavy cream.

Step 22

Candy melts require agitation to melt, so make sure you stir after each interval.
