For those times, when regular cream cheese icing just isn't right (wedding cakes and special occasion celebration cakes)
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup solid vegetable shortening
1 pound cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon clear vanilla extract
3 1/2 pounds sifted icing sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Cream butter, shortening, cream cheese and extracts. Gradually add icing sugar and salt. Beat on low speed until nice and creamy. This recipe is for a stiff consistency. For a thinner consistency, use 3 pounds of icing sugar instead. If you want a very smooth cake, let the cake sit for 15 minutes after icing. Then smooth with fondant smoother or dough scraper or non textured paper towel.
Thank you so much for this recipe... if i want it really white, do i use just vegetable shortening?? cream cheese its like philadelphia,right?
