Frost with Cream Cheese Frosting:

Frosting:

½ c. butter – room temp
½ c. solid shortening – room temp

Combine cream cheese, butter and shortening and mix until nice and smooth. Add vanilla, mix well. Gradually add powdered sugar till smooth. If too stiff, add little milk or cream - if too loose add more sugar.
