Butter cream icing. Ingredients 1 cup butter (=2 sticks), at room temperature 1/2 cup Crisco* shortening (just under 4 oz. on a kitchen scale) 8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature 3 lbs powdered sugar 1 Tablespoon of vanilla extract 2-3 Tablespoons of Milk (add to get consistency to pipe or spread) Instructions First cream the butter and Crisco in a mixing bowl. Mix on low speed for a couple of minutes until smooth and creamy. Add in the cream cheese and mix again until very smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar until its all combined. It will be very stiff! Then begin adding milk until you reach the desired consistency for decorating (2-3 tablespoons works well for me!) *I am generally satisfied using generic ingredients, but Ive found that Crisco shortening has a much better texture and seems to make smoother, yummier icing than when I make it with generic...just my opinion, if anyone is interested =)
