Mix sugar, butter, milk, vanilla and egg yolks in saucepan
Cook over med heat, stirring occasionally, until thick, about 12 minutes
Stir in coconut and pecans. Beat until spreading consistency.
Prepare the cream butter and shortening then add vanilla. Add sugar a cup at a time beating on medium speed. Add milk 1 tbsp at a time and beat on high until fluffy.
TIPS:
To cut the sweetness I usually add about 1/4 tsp. of salt dissolved in
the vanilla.
