Does anyone have any type of recipe using cream cheese for icing? All I have is the regular buttercream recipe. I still want to do the flowers, decorations and such. I'm assuming they'll have to stay with the buttercream recipe. Thanks for helping!

I just replace some of the fat in my favorite recipe with cream cheese and adjust the liquid to compensate for the softer cream cheese.

Can that be used for making the flowers and decorations?

What i do is mix my butter, crisco , cream cheese, and flavorings.I replace some of the butter with the cream cheese, then i add my powdered sugar. I only add more liquid if i need it. If the icing is too soft to make decorations, i will either use regular buttercream, or add more powdered sugar till i can do the piping with it
