When you're building your recipe repertoire, it's best to look for the tried-and-true how-tos that you know are going to work well, those culinary workhorses that are easy to prepare and serve more than one purpose. That's what this week's Most Popular Pin of the Week is all about. For a go-to frosting recipe you'll want to have in your back pocket, look no further than Food Network Kitchen's quick-fix Cream Cheese Frosting (pictured above). It is made with only a few basic ingredients, turns out soft and fluffy every time, and shines atop cakes and cupcakes.
