Cream Cheese Frosting
"From _Small Batch Baking_ while the author pairs the recipe up with her carrot cake, it's my frosting of choice for all small batch cakes that I've made. (Then again, I think cream cheese frosting is good on anything .... or just out of the bowl.)"

I'm a stay at home mom with a young daughter. I'm looking for small portion meals usually for our lunch. Since DH and I both love desserts and hate waste, I keep an eye out for smaller sized dessert recipes. Since my husband enjoys cooking, he typically handles the evening meal. We are trying to eat healthier, so less prepared mixes, and canned soups, and more things from scratch.
