Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting

Submitted by Old widow

"I found this in a Paula Deen cookbook it was printed a long with a strawberry cake recipe. I did not care for the cake but I so loved the frosting. I could just eat this by the spoonful even without cake. I do however think it really dresses up a strawberry cake made from the mix or a white cake."
