My man likes lots of frosting..(me 2) so i used 2pkgs cream chz,2 cups confectioners sugar,1 stick butter and 4 teaspoons of mexican vanilla.(way better then plain vanilla extract) It was so creamy and not to sweet. Spread it on a 13x9 white cake with vanilla pudding mix recipe. shut the front door it was delicious!

So I made the frosting for my carrot cake and it worked out perfect I just wonder how long it should take to settle because it's been almost an hour now and the frosting hasn't settled is this normal or did I mess up somewhere other than that bit the frosting has the perfect texture and taste and smelled heavenly

I love this recipe as is - i do not like overly sweet frosting. I made this to top some mini red velvet cheesecake bites. I made it again for red velvet cookies, i added a bit more sugar for the cookies as I needed a little more sweetness. This is a perfect and very versatile frosting recipe.

Copy/Paste (From a client) ..."The cake's really pretty!! But the taste is even better!!!"... And that's all Im going to say about this recipe lol

This recipe is outstanding! The perfect sweetness! If there is to much or to little sweetness just add or subtract some of the powdered sugar, so simple don't see how some people could complain!

Perfect! I used to make my frosting with 2 cups of confectioners' sugar which was too sweet for me. One cup of sugar is plenty sweet, and the tanginess of the cream cheese comes through. My family loves it.

I just made it to go on my red velvet bunny cake and I must say... it tastes heavenly, it is sweet and fluffy and very tasty and easy and amazing and and and! Thank you Martha! And thanks to my cousin Maribel for posting this on facebook recently.

For all the negative comments saying its not sweet enough, that is strictly personal preference. This is a lovely and decadent cream cheese frosting, you can actually taste the cream cheese and butter. It luscious, very smooth, and tastes wonderful. It is not too sweet, which I find refreshing. I'm tired of all the really sweet frostings. This is a nice change of pace. This will be a go to frosting from now on. I love it. I would refrigerate this because cream cheese needs to be in the fridge. If someone does wants it sweeter, just add more powered sugar. I find it perfect.

Does this have to be refrigerated?

This is my favorite cream cheese frosting recipe. I use it on my Sour Cream Almond Cake every time and everyone loves it. The biggest comment from fans is that it has just the right amount of sweetness and you can taste the rich butter taste as well. Never fails!
