Does anyone have a whipped icing recipe that would not require refrigeration and decorates well like a buttercream icing? I plan to do a bct for my design, might have to do royal as I don't know if whipped icing does well with the BCT method.
I have someone who wants ummmm....shhhhhhh 
Wal-Mart, Sam, or Food Lion whipped icing on their son's cake. I personally don't like whipped icing so I have never made any. But then again I have only tried bakery whipped icing so homemade might be good. I know I can't stand bakery buttercream icing now. Guess I am a cake snob since learning to make my own icing, LOL!!
THANKS!!
Part One
1 lb. powdered sugar (sifted)
2 1/2 cups Crisco
Part Two
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 TBSP. Meringue powder (add 1 additional TBSP for slight crusting)
1/2 cup BOILING water (less 2 TBSP)
1 TBSP Vanilla (or flavor of your choice)
Part one... put crisco in bowl and gradually add powdered sugar. Beat about 5 minutes until mixture is very creamy and fluffy. Set this aside.
Part two... In a very clean bowl mix dry ingredients. Add BOILING water and immediately mix on high speed. Beat until stiff peaks form, about 8 minutes. When mixture begins to get stiff add flavoring.
NOW combine both mixtures and beat together for another 8 minutes. When finished, use a rubber spatula to down beat a little to remove some of the air bubbles. Frosting will be very light and creamy. Cover. DO NOT REFRIGERATE.
The frosting may be kept at room temperature for 3 months. Whip with a spoon each time you use it to restore fluffiness.
This one is from this website, in the recipe section under frostings. And it specifically say's not to refrigerate, that's why I used it lol!! I was looking for something different to do on cakes also, and I came across this one awhile back. This is the only kind my mother wants me to use on the cakes I do for her from now on. It's not nearly as sweet as the regular buttercream, kind of taste like the filling in the creme horns! But I only iced the cake with it and did borders, I didn't try doing any decorations with it because it seemed so creamy. It taste really good though! Hope it helps a little 
Here's a picture of the first cake I used this icing on, this one is iced with the whipped cream buttercream, but the roses and other stuff are done in regular buttercream.
Very nice looking cake! I think that I may have to try this Whipped Cream Icing, it sounds yummy and no storing it in the fridge 
Thanks!
I think you'll like it, especially if you'd like something that's not as sweet as buttercream. The only down side of it is it takes a little longer to make, so I don't make it as often lol. But it is worth it 
! It didn't crust over much though so beware lol!
I use it on my wedding cakes. Here is a link. Same recipe but in a one bowl method. its chefleah's version. enjoy

Tirby, I think I like the sound of that version better! I'll try it that way next time, thanks
We can always try it and see 
. But the CC recipe doesn't really crust over either, that's the one I've been using. It stays pretty creamy even with the merinque powder, I can't remember if I added the extra spoonful of it or not though to see if it would crust more 
lol

I made a batch of the cc recipe w/ the extra tbsp of meringue powder last week. I haven't had time to do a cake w/ it yet. I will try it to see how much it actually crusts...if it has decent crusting, I will try the new recipe next time and see how that does w/ a little extra meringue powder.
I also want to eventually experiment with adding cocoa powder to make a chocolate whipped BC. I guess the cocoa powder could fit into step one. It might make the icing a little stiffer or I could sub a little of the ps w/ the cocoa.
I'll let you know how it all turns out.

Let me tell you with choco powder it is to die for. Add a fruit like raspberries. OH YUM! I have don a lot with it. Choco raspberry filling. Huskleberry. so good. on this is the details of how to add choco or peanutbutter or anything. IT really is very workable.

cakesbgood, thanks, your cake is really pretty especially those roses.
Tirby, is that recipe one that doesn't need to be refridgerated and can be used as a FBT or decorated with?
THANKS AGAIN for all the input everyone!
Your welcome smileyface !
Sue_dye, those DO look good!! I was afraid to use that for roses, I thought it would be to creamy and not hold up well enough. Thanks for the info!!
I have really been wanting to find an icing that isn't so sweet. So thanks so much for this one. I will definately try it. I had posted a question about icing last week and someone suggested whipped icing but I didn't know which one to try and if this one tastes anything like the filling in creme horns then it is definately going to be my favorite
sue_dye, your roses are beautiful!! We posted at the exact same time, I missed your pictures. Glad I came back to my post. Neither one of these recipes need to be refridgerated right? Just want to be sure, I haven't every made this kind of icing before.
Thanks again!!
Studdering, LOL, that's cute Tirby! Thanks for the reply (S)!! I think theres a pretty big bug in the system right now. I am having DTS!!!
Sorry way off topic, just checking. Are Jackie and Heath aware of all of the systems problems? I gather they must be working on the system today. I tried sending them a Pm but I get error codes and the only place I can access any forums if from the home page by going into the posts there. If you click on Forums, it says there are none with this board. Just want to make sure that they are aware of this and someone has contacted them.
It is unusual for the site to be up when they are doing maintenance so I wanted to make sure.
Hugs Squirrelly
Don't know Mary Lou, I hope they know aobut it. I haven't PMed them myself. I do know when I sent you the PM that you replied to that it showed an error code and you got it and I got yours so hopefully someone's PM will get through to them. It's weird, it also shows an error every time I reply to the posts I am watching but when I get back in, my reply is there. BUGS!!!
