My Favorite Cream Cheese Frosting

This is my absolute favorite cream cheese frosting. It is easy and requires minimal ingredients. It is only 3 ingredients, Plus a few extracts that are optional! If you have a stand mixer, it can be made in less than 5 minutes.

Birthday Cupcakes for the Win

I originally created this frosting recipe to be used on tie- dye cupcakes for mine and my besties joint Birthday celebration. I needed a frosting that could be made into a swirl with multiple colors and also we wanted a cream cheese frosting. So it needed to be firm enough to endure the piping bag and be able to showcase the colors. Kate’s cupcakes with my frosting were a match made in Baking Heaven. Beautiful and tasty.

Dislike Buttercream? Try This Frosting.

So my husband despises Buttercream Icing. I totally get it, you have to really love sweets to appreciate it and he does not. Well unless it is a (Tres Leches Cake, then it is a different story.) But really, I do understand it can be a bit overwhelmingly sweet. It sometimes even makes me feel like my teeth are wearing little fuzzy sweaters. SO MUCH SUGAR.

But he does love this cream cheese frosting. I think the tangy cream cheese helps balance out all that sugar and butter. Making this our families favorite cream cheese frosting.
