Carrot Cake Sugar Cookies
  1. To get the recipe and instructions for these sugar cookies, please go the link in my blog post that says “HERE IS THE LINK FOR THE COOKIE RECIPE”. It’ll take you over the the 6 Cakes and More site.
Cream Cheese Buttercream
  1. Cream together your room temperature cream cheese, butter, and shortening on a low setting. Then add in the vanilla and continue creaming. If you want fluffy frosting, feel free to turn the speed on your mixer up, however, be aware that fluffy frosting is not as appealing for decorating due to all of the visible air bubbles, but you do you.
  2. Add in the powdered sugar slowly while your mixer is on a low setting to avoid being in a sweet but suffocating cloud. If you want your frosting to be thicker, add more sugar, if you want it to be thinner, add a tablespoon or two of milk.
Cream Cheese Royal Icing
  1. Add all of the ingredients together and mix on a low speed using a whisk attachment until the icing is fully incorporated.
  2. The consistency of the icing should follow the “figure 8 rule”: Use your whisk attachment to drizzle a figure 8 pattern in the icing and start counting. It should take 7-8 seconds for the icing to melt back together completely. If it takes longer than that, add about a tsp of water at a time until you reach the right consistency. If it takes less time to melt together, add powdered sugar a couple tablespoons at time until you reach the right consistency.
