I think it would probably be too stiff, but you can try it and see. You can always add more fat if need be.
Try this recipe-paying attention to the last paragraph:

2 cups butter —@ room temp
2 cups shortening
2 pounds powdered sdgugar
2 Tablespoons flavoring — YES that much!
2 shakes of a salt shaker

This icing does NOT crust but a “fix” is given at the end
