You can use a cream cheese butter cream that's what I use. Frost and decorate as you would using regular butter cream. Doesn't require refrigeration. I would make the cake the day before if possible. I have to carve a 3 D dog out of Red Velvet cake this weekend what fun. I will be using a vanilla mousse and this cream cheese frosting and covering in MMF.
1 cup butter
1/2 cup Crisco
16 oz. cream cheese
3 1/2 lbs powdered sugar
1 T vanilla
1/2 tsp salt
Mix on low speed for a couple of minutes.
If you use clear vanilla in both the color will be a perfect match for <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns =

when a couple wants part regular cake and part cheesecake for the tiers.
This makes a fairly stiff icing. For a softer one you can use 3 lbs. of powdered sugar.
