Cream Cheese Icing for One 9" Cake

"This is a recipe for cream cheese icing that has been adapted to ice a single 9" cake- it's delicious with carrot cake. I am always having to have to reduce cream cheese recipes to suit my needs- they always make way too much for me to use! So here is an adapted version that I will use forevermore, and hope others will find helpful. Enjoy!"

  1. I like this recipe, as one of my daughters ONLY likes cream cheese frosting. With this smaller recipe, I can prepare this for her cupcakes, or use it between cookies, or for any other place I might need frosting. The recipe was easy and good. I used light cream cheese, (neufchatel) and next time I would use regular cream cheese. The consistency was a little thin. If using light cream cheese next time, I would add some additional powdered sugar.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live on the west coast of Canada and love it here. I am an avid baker and cook, nature-lover, photographer-by-hobby, reader, runner.. yes, life is good. I love cooking pizza from scratch, concocting flavored sorbets, and baking cookies and cake. I am sort-of-known for my cake-baking skills: I've made them for my friends' surprise birthday parties, and for family members. I also made an E=MC2 shaped chocolate cake for physics class once. I love baking a cake based on the person's personality- cheese cake, coconut-peach cake, fruit and chocolate cake... it's fun. Anyway, that's a bit about me.
