Not really; lard melts at a higher temperature than body temperature, which means it leaves a cloying taste in the mouth. (Butter melts at body temperature, making it perfect for icing). Also, lard tastes slightly unpleasant when used in large quantities.

Yes, lard can be used in frosting in place of butter or shortening. However the icing will take on any taste or odor the lard has Additional flavorings might correct this problem.

Lard is used in the same way as other solid fats (vegetable shortening or butter) in making pastry. It is cut into the flour before liquids are added.
