This Cream Cheese Frosting is smooth, thick, creamy and super versatile.
It holds its shape when piped and most importantly, it’s delicious. I love it on red velvet cake, chocolate cake and this on top of carrot cake makes it soo extra!
If only every dessert can be buried beneath a mountain of cream cheese, I would have done so. Sweet with just enough zest!
