During the development of Mortal Kombat, one of the game designers suggested that Dan use it in the game. Toasty is also the name of Scorpion's most famous Fatality. In Mortal Kombat II, a specialized Toasty Fatality can make Dan Forden say Toasty! after the Fatality with a text appearing that reads Toasty!.
Lard is animal (pig) fat, and shortening is vegetable fat. Lard is not used much anymore because it is very high in saturated fat. It is great for pie crust--makes a very flaky crust. I don't think I would use it for icing--it can have a distinct flavor of its own.
Shortening is another name for the fat used in making pastry, bread or in this case a cake. You may use Crisco, or other shortening, real butter, or some margarines.hortening is vegetable oil that has been solidified. You've probably heard of Crisco-that is a brand of shortening. You can use margarine or butter-you would use the same measurement amount.
