    Using unsalted butter, I found I needed to add a dash of salt to enhance the flavor. Maybe next time I will decrease the butter some to enhance the cream cheese flavor.

    It kept well in the fridge for a day before I needed to use it. I found that the first half of the batch of cupcakes (I doubled this recipe, BTW were easier to decorate while it was still cold from the fridge, so if you have time, I'd suggest chilling it a little while before applying to your cake.

    I enjoyed the light, fluffy texture.

    This is a solid recipe with minor adjustments...I read other reviews about the butter ratio being too high, and I made the following adjustments: 8 oz. cream cheese, 4 oz. unsalted butter, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1 cup powdered sugar. Food coloring optional. This amount was plenty for 24 cup cakes and had extra. The taste and texture are far nicer than the expensive bakery cup cakes. Add a few sprinkles and you have beautiful cup cakes! I used the best quality ingredients, and let the butter and cream cheese soften completely before beginning. Great recipe!

    Unbelievably good! Made a quarter of what the recipe called for, and it was delicious. Super quick to make. Not fussy. Highly recommended!

    I give this three stars only because I modified it to my taste.

    I tasted the batch after 1C of powdered sugar and it was too sweet for my taste. So I omitted the second cup and I added two extra ounces (appproximate of cream cheese and I eyeballed maybe 1TBS of lemon juice. Delish!

    I made this with 1 and 1/2 cups sugar and 6 oz cream cheese. It is very creamy and tastes a lot like the traditional cream cheese frosting on red velvet cakes. I used it with a strawberry cake mix and it was delicious!

    I made a different recipe that turned out so poorly that I had to throw the batch away. I turned to this recipe instead and it turned out perfectly! I used it to frost Red Velvet Cupcakes. I did follow other reviewers' suggestion and doubled the amount of cream cheese, since I love a stronger cream cheese flavor. Highly recommended! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

    This recipe is very tasty and easy to make. Yum. I used it on strawberry cream cheese cupcakes, I made for my brother's b-day.

    Prior to making the recipe, I read the previous reviews, and I decided to reduce the amount of powdered sugar recommended. I used 1 & 1/2 cups, and you could taste the tangy-ness of the cream cheese. The amount of frosting made, was just right for 24 cupcakes.

    I recieved lotsa compliments...recipe recommended.
