Cream Cheese Frosting, Can You Decorate With It Like Bc?
Decorating By shelli38 Updated 5 Nov 2011 , 3:32am by Heather_bakes
I haven't ever used cream cheese frosting. I always use buttercream. I have to do a cake tonight and they want cream cheese. Is there a recipe for this or a technique that will make it work like buttercream? I want to be able to smooth it and pipe with it. Does it need to be refrigerated?

I have never used it but there are a lot of good reviews.
I have used the recipe posted above, without the salt. It was great and will crust, but meringue would always make it nicer to frost! Good luck!
Here's another just to have a back up. It's great in humid environment. It's not my recipe & I didn't write down the name of the young that gave it too us
Crusting cream cheese icing base off Indydebi's buttercream variation.
1 2/3 cups Crisco
1 8 ounce box cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
4 LB. powdered sugar (SIFTED)
6 tablespoons Dream Whip
2 tablespoons vanilla (clear if you need white icing)
1 to 1 1/3 cups milk (I use half and half)
Put Crisco and cream cheese in mixing bowl and whip for 10-15 minutes.
Add about 1 1/2 pounds of the sifted powdered sugar, about 1/2 the milk and Dream Whip and mix until blended. Incorporate the rest of the powdered sugar, another 1/2 cup milk and vanilla. Let whip for at least 20 minutes. You may need to add up to 1/3 cups more milk...maybe even more. Just have to add until it "looks right". I like my icing pretty thick (still spreadable but thick)
I have also added 6 ounces of melted white chocolate to this icing and it is really, really good. It will require more milk if you add the chocolate, just add a teaspoon at a time until it "looks right". I used the icing with white chocolate added for a red velvet cake and it was a great flavor combination.
i used this and it worked well
