I made my coworker her first Oreo Bday Cake today using this icing. I ran out of milk that my recipe needed so I improvised with what I had on hand and it came out phenomenal! Not too overly sweet but was creamy and had a nice "crust" on the icing once it dried. Definitely my go to recipe for cake decorating!

Steps

1

Cream shortening and vanilla until smooth and incorporated in a stand mixer or with beaters.
2

Add powdered sugar one cup at a time. If the icing is too thick add the creamer a little at a time to a smooth creamy consistency. Make sure you're not mixing it on high because you'll end up with powdered sugar all over the place flying out of the bowl. A low speed is best. (I know, I'm impatient too! Lol)
3

Add more creamer for a smoother piping consistency and less for a stiffer consistency.
4

Sift the cocoa powder and add to icing if preferred for a chocolate icing.
5

This icing is really good for decorating cakes as it holds it shape for piping and has a nice "crust" that even most typical buttercream have. But once you bite into it, it's creamy as ever!
6

Feel free to add any kind of flavored creamer you like to this recipe!
7

This recipe makes quite a bit and keeps well in the fridge for later use. Makes enough to frost and decorate a double layered 9" cake.
