    OK this recipe is AWESOME. Super easy to make and most of the ingredients I had at home. I did however, only used 1 1/2 cups of powered sugar. This goes perfect with my lemon blossom and mini brownie skewers. Wish I could post pics.

    Delicious as a light cream cheese flavor icing. Makes the perfect amount to top a 9 x 13 cake. This recipe is also very versatile as you can add cocoa powder or chopped strawberries, or even well drained & crushed mandarin oranges and a touch of orange rind. Use your imagination!

    This is the best cream cheese frosting I have ever tasted! I paired it with a lemon cake for my husband's Birthday, and everyone kept coming back for more... Huge success, thank you!

    I took the advice of the other reviewers and doubled the cream cheese and halved the sugar. It was just OK. Turns out I needed to double the recipe as well to cover an 8 inch two layer cake. Not one to repeat.

    My changed recipe I just tried tonite. Waaaay good!! 2 sifted cups of confectioners sugar (sifted 3-4 times, 1/2 stick salted butter, 8 oz cream cheese (both butter & cream cheese room temp, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and....wait for it...2 HEAPING teaspoons of SOUR CREAM! used a $10 mixer on low and voila! This is what made it the sour/creamy! It tasted better than most of the bakeries I've been to in the last 3 years! My icing was better than the boxed cake I made! I had to sign up JUST to post this...Thank you to the blanga that suggested the sour cream! (just a note, I used breakstone's because it is the sourest I know of. YUMMY!!!

    YUM! My new 'go to' cream cheese frosting recipe. I made as is but added some almond milk to thin it out a bit. Everyone raved about it!

    Good Recipe, but after reading some reviews on the pwd sugar I went easy on it putting in only 1 cup and only adding it in 1/4 cup at a time. I also only used only 1/2 a stick of butter.
    It is definitely cream cheese tasting with nice amount of sweetness, but not too much! I made my frosting 1st and put it in the fridge, while waiting for my cake to cook and cool.
    It definitely looks like plenty for my 9x13 cake. I may have to keep this recipe around a bit!
