Place vegetable shortening and salt in a medium mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to cream. Add sugar and milk substitute and whip on high just until the frosting is smooth and creamy. If frosting is too stiff, gradually add more milk substitute, 1 teaspoon at a time.

Yield - About 1 cup (enough to frost an 8-inch 2 layer cake or about 18 cupcakes)
