I am sure someone has said and done it before but here is what wonderful thing just happened tonight..
Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Well, I was making buttercream for my latest cake when i realized I was out of milk. I don't like using water so I looked in the fridge and saw the Coffee Mate French Vanilla Liquid Creamer. I knew I had seen where people use powdered creamer so I thought why not. It is so GOOD! and crusting beautifully as I type. So, just thought I would share. I don't have a recipe, I use half butter and half crisco, powdered sugar and the creamer, no need for vanilla flavoring and beat it like crazy with the paddle. mmm mmmm
which club the coffee creamer or the cake central? BTW I figured the coffee creamer wasn't original with me but I am so excited I thought I would share in case someone hadn't seen it before.
chilz822 my 5 year old likes your dog. He just came up and said "Look at that puppy dog! He's funny! Thanks for the tips guys!
I use the Belgian Chocolate Truffle all the time in chocolate cakes and buttercream. I just made it tonight for a pirate ship I'm working on (put it in the chocolate fondant to go with it also)... the white chocolate coconut one is yummy also!
I have a Pirate ship cake soon! Can you post photos of your cake? I'd love to see it! 
cakesdivine, sure. It's in my fridge now, carved and waiting to be decorated. I'm working on the fondant boards, sails, etc now.
I've asked some questions of karensue who has an amazing ship here and also found her thred with instructions. I'll try to attach my carved ship, remember, it's rough still, and also a link to her directions (check hers out, it's great!)

I just tried this last week and I couldnt believe the difference it made too!
It was delicious, I cant wait to try other flavors! Anyone like any certain ones better than others?
French Vanilla is tops for me, but any of the chocolate ones are good too. Sometimes I even add some pudding to it...
There's a cinnamon roll one that's super yummy too... just remember, some of there will change the color of your buttercream...
Chocolate Eclair is next on my list to try!
I've also added fruit juices... Orange juice is great!
Ok so has anyone used International Delights creamer instead of Coffee Mate? They have a Chocolate Eclair creamer that is out of this world, I am dying to try it!
I posted my last one without reading the one just above it... duh... :-0

International Delights is fine and I agree - they seem to have more gourmet flavors than Coffee Mate does - at least in my part of the world. 
I often use liquid coffee creamer in place of the water and oil in boxed cake mixes. Just add one extra egg.
I also use coffee creamer in Sugarshack's buttercream. I think it's used in place of milk so it doesn't need to be refrigerated.
How much do you all use per cake mix , icing etc?
Thanks
I use the same amount that the recipe calls for.. if it's a strong liquid (like fruit juice concentrate, the frozen kind), sometimes I'll dillute it a little, as long as it matches up to what your recipe calls for.
(btw, Passion Fruit concentrate is great in cake and buttercream!)
