ICING RECIPE NEEDED!!!!

Okay guys, I am in desperate need of a recipe for icing. I am getting married on July 29, 2006, and my caterer can't make her icing turn out correctly as sugar free. She makes a basic powdered sugar type icing. Please let me know if you have any ideas! Thanks! AndiC 289/166/160 Just 6 pounds from goal!!!!

I don't actually have a recipe but dry sugar free pudding mixed with sugar free cool whip is awesome. You could just use the sugar free cool whip by itself. I know it really isn't icing. Lynn

I have not made either of these recipes, but, they come from two good sources. SUGAR FREE BUTTERCREAM FROSTING -------------------------------- 1 and 1/2 cups of powdered sugar replacement (recipe will follow below) 1/2 cup Crisco 1 tsp. clear vanilla 1 tbls. whole milk Cream the shortening (Crisco) and vanilla until fluffy. Blend in the powdered sugar replacement until well blended. Add a little more milk if this mixture is to stiff to spread on the cake. You can use a bit of food coloring to some of the frosting and use it for decorations. SUGAR FREE POWDERED SUGAR REPLACMENT ------------------------------------1 cup nonfat dry milk 1 cup cornstarch 2/3 cup sugar replacement (Sugar Twin is the recommended product) Combine all the ingredients in a food processor or blender and whip until blended and powdered. I got the above recipes from a website that has an actual baking school and teaches to real students in there local area. It is run by two pastry chefs. Only thing I don't remember the site name. The other recipe is from a site www.earlenescakes.com She is located in Texas and does wedding cakes/grooms cakes etc.. SUGAR FREE ICING ----------------- Cream cheese frosting 2 packages (8oz. each) cream cheese, softened 2 tbsp. unsalted butter 2 tbsp. vanilla 1/3 cup honey 2 egg whites, beaten stiff In a medium bowl, with electric mixer at medium speed, beat the cream cheese with the butter until creamy. Add honey, beat 3 minutes longer. Fold in beaten egg whites and mix thoroughly. Spread thickly over top of cake. You can make a fancy decoration with this recipe. If you want to make a chocolate icing, add 1 package of jello sugar free instant chocolate pudding to the recipe. It made it more stable as well as adding the chocolate flavor. You might want to add the pudding powder in small amounts until you get the flavor and consistency that you are looking for, you can always add, but you can't take away. She states that many people didn't know it was a sugar free icing. Hope these work for you.

I made mine with the same recipe as the powdered sugar version, but I used the Natures Sweet powdered sugar. It was awesome. Tasted just like REAL butter cream frosting. Used the Natures ssweet (by Steel's) and butter, vanilla... Provide her with the sugar replacement and it's one for one powdered sugar... you and she will be amazed! Good Luck! Michele M

If you use you use SF cool whip you will need some kind of stablizier for it. I think merunige powder will work fot it. And it must be used only in a very cool environment or it will begin to melt off the cake. (Not pretty for a wedding.)
