    This is now my most favorite Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. It worked very well with a pastry bag and decorative tip for frosting cupcakes.

    I did add an additional 2oz's of cream cheese, and 1tsp of fresh lemon juice.

    Thanks!

    I've made my share of cream cheese frosting, but this one definitely stood out among the rest. It boasted a creamy texture, fantastic cream cheese flavor (not too heavy, but not too light with just a hint of butter, and was so easy to make. Thanks Food Network for another great recipe!

    Just made some of this icing, tasted it and added just about 1 tsp of lemon juice to make it a little tangier. Tastes very yummy! Its smooth, not gritty. Haven't iced my cake with it yet, so I don't know how it is with smoothing. Also, the recipe as written will prob only frost a batch of cupcakes...if that-deffinately double if you are filling and frosting a layer cake.

    I just made this frosting for my red velvet cupcakes. It is soooo good, I, too, had to stop myself from licking the bowl! :
    I am of the belief that ? of a good cupcake is of frosting, so I usually pile it up there with an ice cream scoop. Needless-to-say, I thought I would have to double the recipe, and sure enough, after mixing the first 8 oz. of ingredients, I did. Doubling the recipe makes the EXACT amount if frosting I need for my sky-high frosted cupcakes! I am so pleased with this recipe (I didn?t have any sour cream but can?t imagine how this frosting could get any better-m but I will try it next time!

    Delicious and so easy to make! I added one extra ounce of cream cheese to make it a bit tangier but it tasted fantastic on my pumpkin spice cupcakes!

    This recipe is out of this world! I did use less powdered sugar than recipe asked for but, it was like taking a bite out a cheesecake!

    Not enough cream cheese in my opinion

    This was a pretty lame cream cheese frosting- it was definitely not cream cheesy enough. Too much butter, not enough cream cheese. I will not use this recipe again.

    It took minimal effort and nothing that I didn't already have, and in five minutes I had a delicious looking whipped cream... I tried it over grapes and graham crackers- at first bite, I thought they were decent, but in about 3 seconds, I was practically drooling. AMAZING recipe!

    I can't say enough about how delighted I am to have found this recipe! It was so easy to make! I had to double this recipe twice (ok, so quadruple it to get enough for the enormous red velvet cake that I made today. This is by far the best cream cheese I've tasted. The cream cheese flavor is just the right amount... not too prominent but the sweetness does not overpower it either. My husband, who is very picky, loved it. It is much easier to work with after it has been chilled... just a word of advice for those trying to achieve a cake with a more structured look instead of the homemade look or one with unfrosted sides. Thanks so much for this recipe. It will be the only one I use anymore for cream cheese frosting!
