I make truly wrecky cakes.

Truly.

I'm... I'm not sure I'm even willing for this one to be Seen.

Just... Imagine an uneven stack of cake with yellow slop pouring down the sides, complete with a sprinkle explosion and too-pale-very-stiff-icing-text.

I need a GOOD decorator's frosting recipe. The consistency of the various ones I've tried is just terrible. Help plz?

I mean seriously. It's going to taste good because it's carrot cake and cream cheese frosting and therefore cannot help but be tasty. But it would have been nice to have it at least... somewhat presentable?

Good deal! I think it'll work better than cream cheese icing for what you're doing, much as I love cream cheese. :) And you can make a lot and freeze the extra; bring it to room temperature and you can use it just as before, even tint it.

I frosted just the cake with the cream cheese and tried another recipe for the decoration icing, but both were fail-y, because my cc frosting was gooey and runny and ridiculous and what Betty Crocker calls decorator frosting is... lousy. LOL.

I am so glad to know I can freeze the bc stuff. I should whip some up and experiment next week!
