Shortening does not contain soy of any kind. So you can use it. A great icing is cooked flour icing. I make it all the time. I substitute almond milk for dairy, shortening for butter. I add a cup of confectioners sugar and a tablespoon of meringue powder. That's my preference because it pipes nicer and crusts beautifully.
