I remember reading Indy say within a cream cheese frosting posting that she uses her recipe and just substitutes some cr cheese for the shortening. I really had success as noob with her recipe as it was I tried this. Her recipe called for 1-1/3 cup shortening so I added 1 cup shortening and 1/3 cup cream cheese and it is AWESOME. It crusted nicely and tastes GGGREEEAT. I added a tiny bit of coco powder to it because I needed the frosting to be light tan color for choco cupcakes and it was delish (it was delish before the coco powder too). It also has "kept" for 4 days now without refridgeration and it's still perfect. I know because I need to stop eating the leftovers!!!! I had ONE CC for BREAKFAST!!! No really I had TWOOOOOOOOOOOO... 
Thanks, that is awesome information. I love that recipe, but it never occurred to me to sub some cream cheese for the shortening.
I have a friend that never refrigerates any cake, even when she's told to do it!
