I watched this on You tube and was wondering if I got the recipe right.
5 1/2 c. shortening
4 tblsp. flavoring
12 tbsp. warm coffee creamer (vanilla?)
4 lbs. confectioners' sugar
did I leave anything off?
Thanks.
I think she uses equal parts shortening and powdered sugar.
Here's her recipe as she posted here on CC.

She doesn't have the liquid amounts, but I"m sure if you PM her, she'll answer.
Also, in the variation for a 6qt mixer (also posted here on CC), it has 5Tbsp of flavouring and 20 Tbsp of coffee creamer mixture. I'm sure you can use the pre-mixed flavours if you want, but she uses the powdered coffee creamer mixed with hot water and then measured to the amount she needs.

It's 5 generous cups of shortening and 5 lbs powdered sugar. Flavoring plus creamer is approximately 12 T, and it's used HOT. Also, the creamer is equal parts hot (near boiling) water and coffee creamer powder--not the liquid kind in the bottle, although you could probably use that if you wanted to. Using the dissolved powder adds extra emulsifiers which makes the icing really smooth.
I personally also add a tsp. of salt.
