I don`t know why these other people think this tastes good. This frosting is so sweet it is gross, and the splenda aftertaste is really strong. There is absolutely nothing I would reccommend this for aside from lining a trash can. As far as things that could make this recipie better, using 1/2 cp less splenda, or substituting sugar for splenda would be a vast improvement.

Made for Bargain Basement tag, this is SOOO good. I thought I would have to give up my carrot cakes cause the best part was the icing but not with this.

I read the review about how this was way too sweet so I used just over half a cup of splenda and full fat cream cheese. It's amazing. If you are going to go for it and eat a piece of carrot cake, I'm pretty sure a few extra grams of fat won't send you into fat pants.
