At first my icing was a little heavy. But then the second time around, I wipped it more with my electric mixer and it came out so SOFT AND FLUFFY!!!And it seemed to give me more icing than before! I would recommend to anyone that if you want it to hold shape, and if you want it to be fluffy and creamy, put it under the electric mixer for longer and you will QUICKLY see the difference.

Wasn't sure how it would turn out since I read the comment about consistency and agreed with it after making?

I had to add cream cheese, because it was too sweet for me!! I also did not like the consistency of it. :(

If you half this Icing recipe, does it still come out okay, or do you need to add more of one ingredient?

I meant: I mixed my cream cheese straight from the fridge :) Oops!

I mixed my frosting straight from the fridge. I think that helped the consistency. Add sugar sparingly. I had to add cream cheese bec it was too sweet for me.

Really great frosting. I used about 4 cups of confectioner's sugar and the frosting was just the right consistency, but if yours is too soft, just add more confectioner's sugar. I paired this frosting with gingerbread cupcakes and they were a hit with my party guests!

Very good flavor, but frosting is very soft. You'll need to add twice as much powdered sugar in order to get it to hold a decorative shape
