Awesome frosting! I generally find frostings too sweet, but this isn't at all. Wonderful creamy flavor that doesn't overpower the flavor of the cake. If you like sweeter frosting, add another half cup of powdered sugar. Enjoy!
Great, fast and easy. I was in a rush so skipped the gradual mixture and just popped it all in a bowl and used my mixer. Put the butter and cream cheese out on my counter the night before so it was super easy to mix together. Turned out great - have used this recipe three times now!
This was so easy and fast. It made enough for 18 cupcakes and a "little" extra. It had a nice cream cheese "tang" flavor and was definitely not overly sweet.
This frosting is so good!
oh man, so good! The kids
I added a 1/4 tsp of salt to the Frosting mix as it balanced out the sweetness of the recipe.
