Just wanted to know if I used liquid coffee mate in place of the water in buttercream icing, would it need to be refrigerated? Have not tried this before and am not sure if it would even taste good.
I"m making choc. cake with rasberry filling and buttercream frosting with the white choc. & rasberry coffee creamer. How does that sound? Nothing like experimenting on a cake that's for a customer, huh?
Thanks,
Amy

Using the liquid Coffee Mate will work very well in place of water for your frosting. I don't think it would need to be refrigerated. I make my frosting with 1/2 & 1/2 and they do quite well. The sugar acts as a preservative, not an indefinite one, though.

Although I don't like raspberries, I think any one who does would love this combination. Go for it.

I actually used the white chocolate raspberry in a buttercream I made yesterday. I did a basketweave with the bc. It went to the park today for playgroup. It was outside for about 2 hours at 75 degrees and seemed to hold up really well. I did refridgerate it last night though. I don't know if that helps at all.

BTW, the icing was amazing! I used the creamer in a white cake mix, too. Wonderful!! I am baking a white cake with the blueberry cobbler right now! I can't wait to try it!

I didn't even know they made such coffee creamers!!! You've got me wanting to make a cake tonight!

I think the combo sounds yummy!!!!!!! I may have to borrow this idea and try it for myself!!! I haven't seen the choc/rasberry creamer...but I will start looking.
I have tried the creamer substitution in cake and it has worked all but one time....I think the icing would be great!!!

THanks!

Funny...I just saw the choc rasberry creamer at Target and was thinking I would use it in a chocolate cake with rasberry filling I'm making for my mom's birthday next week...she loves choc/rasberry together....now I will have to add a little into my frosting as well!!! Thanks for the great idea!

I mad the armaretto with chocolate cake. The customers loved it. Now have a repeat customer.

Using milk or cream in b/c doesn't always mean you have to refrigerate the frosting.

Here's a safe storage chart for fillings & frostings:

And here's a recipe for cream cheese frosting that doesn't require refrigeration:

Edited to remove broken links.

International Delight has white choc/rasberry in refrigerator section
Nestle Coffee mate has a new coconut creme. This one sounds yummy! Just too bad I CAN'T STAND anything in my coffee.
Yep, there are alot of new flavors now.
I made a marble cake and put choc. / rasberry in the vanilla part and I sampled the batter. It was GOOD! Hubby even liked it.

The coconut creme sounds great for cake and frosting! Thanks for the info on a new flavor.

Okay, I haven't made alot of cakes so please don't laugh, but do you put the creamer in place of the water in the cake or do you just add some? Please forgive my ignorance, but it does sound like a great idea.

I bought some of the Creme Brulee creamer yesterday at Target and used it with my white cake recipe. Yummy! I paired it with a caramel buttercream and the combination is out of this world!

Replacing all the water or milk called for in a cake recipe or cake mix with liquid creamer hasn't worked well for everyone:
