Can someone please recommend an icing that is as close as possible to Great American Cookie Company icing?  I need it for my boys cookie cakes. Thank you

I interviewed for a job there once — it didn’t seem anything more remarkable than regular American buttercream — surely made with shortening at the cookie shop but I would recommend making it with butter, cream, powdered sugar and vanilla — if you add some white balsamic vinegar it makes it tangy like cream cheese icing and cuts the sweetness

you can eliminate the vinegar if you want — this is just a basic icing recipe:

Wishing for a room-temperature-stable cream cheese frosting? CakeCentral.com user -k8memphis has developed the next best thing. This buttercream offers the subtle tang of cream cheese in a worry free stable American buttercream. It even crusts!

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 pounds sifted powdered sugar 
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, not rock hard
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream *reduce this amount by the amount of vinegar you use.
  • Pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract, I probably use over a tablespoon
  • 1-2 tablespoons of white balsamic vinegar, I use 2-plus tablespoons 

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine all ingredients.
  2. Beat for 10 minutes until smooth
