How do you make cookie cake icing like Great American Cookie Co/Mrs. Fields?

Question

I want to make a cookie cake for V-Day and the icing they use in the store made cookie cakes is AMAZING. It seems to have a strong vanilla taste and be much thicker. Any ideas or recipes out there for this icing?

Answer 1

SNOW WHITE BUTTERCREAM ICING

This buttercream icing has an ideal consistency for frosting cakes. It has a firm quality making it good for wedding cake decorations and flat surface or flower nail flowers. Air dry decorations for 24 hours.

2/3 cup water
4 tablespoons meringue powder
12 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
1-1/4 cups shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring*
1/2 teaspoon clear vanilla flavoring*
1/4 teaspoon butter flavoring*

(* or 1¼ tsp. of your favorite extract to make it taste like you want it to.)

Combine water and meringue powder; whip at high speed until peaks form. Add 4 cups of sugar, one cup at a time, beating after each addition at low speed. Alternately add shortening and remainder of sugar. Add salt and flavorings; beat at low speed until smooth.

YIELD: 7 cups icing. Recipe may be doubled or cut in half; however, if cut in half, yield is only 2-1/2 cups.
