Sugarshack Frosting Recipe Questions

Hi, I just came across Sugarshacks frosting recipe...the one that uses coffee creamer. Instead of using all shortening, could you also use a combo of butter and shortening? Anyone try this and have any feedback on how it turned out?
I use 1/2 sweetex and 1/2 butter with this recipe instead of all sweetex. This has worked great for me!
I don't see any reason it wouldn't come out great if you substitute equal amounts of butter for the amount of shortening that you took out. I've been intending to try this also, but i always forget. I'm sure it's delicious, because her recipe is already great.
I love this recipe and I just use store brand shortening and real butter; sometimes I use only 1/4 butter if the weather is warm and humid but in the winter I usually use 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening. Haven't made it with HiRatio shortening yet but hope to do so in the future. It is delicious and I just use store brand PS and don't find it to be "grainy" as some say because I do beat it the required amount of time.
Ok, so I tried it with 2 cups shortening and 1/2 cup butter. I used French Vanilla as they flavoring. It was good, but had the air bubbles...maybe the butter caused it to have more of that 'whipped' looked??

i always use storebrand powdered sugar and Crisco shortening and i'm satisfied with the results. i tried hi-ratio and i liked it, too.
I use store brand shortening, margarine, and powdered sugar. I also only use milk and lemon extract, but I follow Sharon's techniques, and it makes the smoothest, most wonderful icing I have used.
I normally use store brand shortening (hi-ratio - Harris Teeter brand). But I have made it 1/2 shortening and 1/2 butter with half and half - super rich BC - put it on cinnamon WASC cupcakes - took to work - disappeared by 11 in the morning! (I took in at least 2 cuppies per person working)
One more question. Does this recipe have to be used with the powdered non-dairy creamer or can you use the liquid kind? (The liquid comes in so many more flavors.) If so, would cakes frosted with this need to be refridgerated?
