Cream Cheese Frosting

Too sweet. Cut sugar to 2 cups

PERFECT

I made this to top a cinnamon roll cake. I only used around 2 cups of powdered sugar, and it was a generous amount for the cake.

I can't believe I made it through 43 years of life without knowing how easy it is to make frosting! To be fair, I don't really bake (other than the occasional banana bread). But still! 😆 I was looking for a cream cheese frosting recipe because I forgot to pick some up at the store, and I was wondering if I already had all of the ingredients on hand. I did! This stuff is delicious, and oh-so easy to whip up! I'll never use store-bought frosting again!

Just tastes like powdered sugar

I saw someone else's note about sweetness and also did 3.5 cups of powdered sugar. Turned out lovely for my spice cake cupcakes! I frosted my cupcakes later in the day, so I put the frosting in the fridge in a bag, which helped with the structural integrity/thickness.

Used 2 cups of powdered sugar. Would have been fine with just 1 or 1 and 1/2 cups for sweetness. Didn't need to pipe frosting so wasn't important for it to be very thick.

I used about 3 1/2 cups to reduce the sweetness because the strawberry cake I frosted was already very sweet. They paired very well.

Easy and fast to make

I’m not a fan of powdered sugar. My family enjoyed it, though.

Well balanced cream cheese frosting and not too sweet

Not terribly sweet, but smooth

I made it but I added cinnamon. My boyfriend is addicted to it! Thanks for the recipe!

The recipe was so easy and tastes so good! It even works without an electric whisk. It worked nicely with my lemon cupcakes with blueberry and basil filling(:

Really yummy I did about 3 cups instead of 4 and it tasted great.

It’s perfect, I’ve also added coco powder and it worked really well

Made this to go with the carrot cake recipe for Easter. I used 2.5 cups of powdered sugar. My son and I both tasted it and thought it was perfect. It still piped well without the full amount of sugar. I will be making this recipe again for my daughters birthday party! Nothing but positive reviews from everyone so far.

I switched out regular vanilla for buttery vanilla, and it was much creamier and pastry of way better love it.

Tasted too much like cream cheese

Used 3 cups of powdered sugar instead of 4 cups

Looks good - had lots leftover as we don’t do lots of icing on cupcakes in this house - but teenager approved👍🏼

Best cream cheese frosting I've ever had!

I reduced the sugar to about 275g since the quantity looked too much. Ended up being runny and could not layer a cake with it nicely. Icing was really tasty but the cake looked sloppy. The way mine turned out was perfect to just cover a loaf cake. The authors recipe with 500g sugar probably does have a stable frosting, but I don't want to consume that much sugar in just the frosting.

Experimentar usar só 300gr de açúcar e 3 colheres de amido de milho

Soo delicious and easy to make! I added a couple tablespoons of milk to thin it out enough to spread on a 9x13 cake!!

I added milk to make it more spreadable. As far as the measurement goes I just eyeballed it may be about two 2 1/2 tablespoons and it was perfect.
