Whereas it existed already on therosetable.com, I made a decision to provide it its due credit score with its personal publish!
You should definitely use full fats cream cheese and don’t even consider using it chilly from the fridge. I’ve stated this a thousand occasions earlier than however I can’t stress it sufficient: chilly cream cheese is not going to totally incorporate. You could use room temperature cream cheese. Take the cream cheese and butter out of the fridge not less than an hour earlier than you wish to make the frosting and throw it in your bowl to come back to room temperature.
This makes sufficient frosting for a two layer cake or twenty-four cupcakes. Attempt it on my Crimson Velvet Cupcakes, Carrot Cake or Hummingbird Cake!
