Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting
Going Out in a Glaze of Glory…
Let’s face it: Whether it’s a warm, gooey, early morning cinnamon roll, or a luscious slice of cake for dessert — it’s all about the frosting. And I’m not talking about that plasticky stuff out of a can, but “The Good Stuff.” Nothing elevates a dessert like homemade frosting, and, king among them all, nothing seems to garner quite as much interest amongst the hopeful throngs or carry as much panache with the would-be cake-eaters as the words, “Cream Cheese Frosting.” Fortunately, it’s as easy as can be to whip up a batch that tastes just as delicious as it sounds!
This Perfect Cream Cheese Frosting recipe is just the thing to finish off your favorite cake, such as Beverly’s Carrot Cake… or to schmear liberally over a warm batch of Homemade Cinnamon Rolls… or even to lavish atop a graham cracker (or ten) and devour! Sweet and creamy with just a hint of a tang from the cream cheese, it’s everything you ever dreamed of in a frosting and more. It really is “Perfect!”
