How many cups of frosting in one pound?
Actually, cups of frosting is a volume measure -- not a weight measure. Sometimes the weight thing works for volume and sometimes it doesn't. For instance, a cup of flour generally weighs about 5 ounces (not 8, which is the 1/2 pound). 2 cups of frosting per pound seems off somehow. A good way to check it would be to check the baking aisle at the grocery store the next time you wander through. Pick up a tub of ready-made frosting and check the serving size. I don't happen to have a tub of ready made frosting handy, or I'd give out that measure. It also might vary based on the kind of frosting. Whipped frostings will take up more volume per ounce than dense frostings like cream cheese.

Can mixed granulated sugar and shortening be fixed for frosting if you have 9 cups help?
1 cup milk, 5 Tablespoons flour, dash of salt. Dissolve flour in milk and cook over medium heat stirring constantly until thickened. Put into a bowl and press a piece of plastic wrap on top of the mixture to prevent a skin from forming and chill in the refrigerator. 1/2 cup margarine, 1/2 cup Crisco, 1 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla in a mixing bowl. Cream together until there are no sugar crystal felt in the mixture. Add the milk flour mixture and whip. Make a very good frosting like very stiff whipped cream. I have added semi sweet chocolate to the milk for chocolate frosting, as much as you want but the more you use the quicker it will burn. If you have 9 cups of sugar and shortening already mixed together, there is not a lot you can do with it. You could add some corn syrup and cocoa and try for a fudge but frosting would be a stretch.
Is there an easy way to make icing from scratch?
it depends on what kind of icing you would like to make. here is a recipe for butter cream frosting:1 package powdered sugar (16 ounces) 1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick) 3 tablespoons milk 2 teaspoons vanilla Beat sugar, butter, milk and vanilla with electric mixer at low speed until well blended and smooth. If frosting becomes too thick, beat in additional milk by teaspoonfuls until the frosting is of spreading consistency. Makes about 2 1/2 cups frosting. Cooks.com for icing icing: One method of making an uncooked icing is to use powdered sugar. Pour a good amount of powdered sugar into a bowl and add a pat of room temp butter (about a tablespoon), a small amount of milk (a few tablespoons at a time) and a dash of vanilla. Use the mixer on low to blend. If the icing is too thin, add more sugar ,too thick, add more milk. I have no exact measurements
