Cream Cheese Frosting for Hummingbird Cake

great recipe! i used less than half of sugar and it turned out amazing.

I also used about only 1/2 a cup of sugar and it was enough. Delicious!

Made this and the Humming bird cake for my wedding cake everyone loved it and wanted the recipe.

I used about half the amount of sugar than this for the frosting on my fiancé's birthday cake and everyone loved it.

Great Cream Cheese Frosting Recipe. Used it on the Coconut Cloud Cake yesterday - the cake was a big hit! I agree with some of the other reviewers. Half of the amount for powdered sugar is plenty. My suggestion, add small amounts of powdered sugar at a time. Stop at desired taste. I used a little less than 1/2. Happy baking!

I have made this frosting a few times and it always turns out great. I don't use quite all of the sugar the recipe calls for, too sweet for me. This time I turned it into a carmel cream cheese frosting and used it on an apple cake recipe on this site and it was spectacular. I used a 1/2 cup of brown sugar and melted it in a pan with 8 tbs of the butter and let cool, then added to the butter-cream cheese mixture before adding the confectioners' sugar ( I used a little more than 2 cups).

I love that frosting. It is a huge hit every time I make it. I like to spread it on banana cupcakes, it is delicious.

I really liked this recipe. Great quick desert!

Ditto. I added all the sugar and by half way through it was the perfect consistency so I should have stopped there. By the time I added the whole 2lbs it was difficult to beat and the cream cheese flavor was covered by the flavor of the sugar.

what kind of cream cheese do you use? I used mascarpone and it turned out really thick and heavy. (I live in europe) Thanks

I found this recipe good but actually used only half of the sugar and it worked just as great.

THis recipe is great, but I used just half of the sugar and it worked just as good.
