Eggless Frosting for Cakes

I have been baking cakes for pretty long time now, however never dared to frost them until I took Wilton cake decoration class. I only took first course and feel its enough for me to frost day to day cakes. The class teaches to make 3D roses, borders, writing, 3D clown, and lot more. 
The only thing I did not like was the frosting. Wilton uses buttercream frosting in three different consistencies; thin for covering the cake, medium for shells, sweet pea designs and stiff for 3D figures. For some reason, my family didn't like the texture and taste of the frosting. We found it too sugary and gritty. I could never eat this frosting in my life.
I was little disappointed after the class as I thought I would not be able to decorate cakes for my dear ones on their special days...I started looking for other options and found the recipe below. Love this frosting. The texture and flavor is just from heaven :)) The only problem I see is,  it needs to be refrigerated at all times and not sure can make 3D figures form this......If you have any ideas,do suggest..so far, I am happy :)

Rice Kheer in Rice Cooker

Till now, I have been using rice cooker for just cooking rice. Recently I learnt that one cook toor daal (lentil soup), daal makhani and rice kheer. Since, dessert is my weakness, I thought I should start with rice kheer. Ingredients Rice - 1/2 cup Whole milk - 1.5 cups + more Raisins - 1/4 cup Sugar - 1/2 cup Cardamom powder - 1/4 tsp Ghee (clarified butter oil) - 1/2 tsp Method Rinse rice with water. Drain excess water and put rice in the slow cooker.  Pour all the milk and turn on the rice cooker and cover the lid.  It is important to stir kheer from to time to time. Add sugar. You may need to add more milk as the milk concentrates before the rice is cooked.  Once the rice cooked in milk turn off the switch. Heat ghee in a laddle. When hot add the raisins and cook on low heat till raising loook golden and pour the mixture in the kheer. Sprinkle the cardamom powder and serve cold or warm
