"I served this on white cupcakes for a baby shower in the spring. It was a refreshing change from heavy buttercream cake frosting. I will usually double this recipe."

  1. This is delicious frosting that went very well with the pumpkin spice muffins I made. I used a fat free cream cheese, which is a softer spread, so mine did not come out very thick, but it still worked just fine. I like that this recipe didn't also call for butter. Thank you!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in a small city in southwest Virginia. We have been here for 22 years and love being near the mountains. I have three kids that keep me busy 24/7. I love cooking for my husband, but am constantly battling the picky eating kids at mealtime. I originally joined when this site was called recipeZaar to put my recipes into meal menus to rotate on a regular basis. Hopefully, to take the brainwork out of food shopping, menu planning and preparation. The problem is that I have found so many new recipes I want to try here I am going to end up with 100 menus! I guess that isn't so bad, variety is a good thing.
