I wasn't completely impressed. I barely had enough to frost a 9x13 cake and the almond was pretty strong. I probably won't bother making again.

I saw the receipt, printed the receipt, made the receipt & spread it on a yellow cake made with splenda(already baked). All I can say is YUM! I am border line diabetic and 2 Tbls brown sugar and 1 Tbl honey is just right. Thank you.

Not so tasty... vanilla and almond overpowered the frosting. Hope were high, success was low.

This is excellent and super easy to make. followed recipe exactly. I was originally looking for a cream cheese frosting for a carrot cake, but I didn't have any confectioner's sugar on hand. Decided on this one and so glad I did. Its very creamy and light. I might use less almond next time. thanks for the recipe

Nummy! I like this better than regular icing - this is not too sweet, as often happens when using powdered sugar. Mine came out soft, but I must have overbeat it. It doesn't matter, because it spread easily, tastes really good, and looks good!

This looked good to me when I read the recipe and I was happy to find a new frosting since I'm always making the same few. But even though I more than doubled both brown sugar and honey it still wasn't very sweet. Maybe if I liked cream cheese a little more it would have helped. I usually like cream cheese frosting but this one was not a pleasing taste or texture.

I thought this was only so-so. I did not really think it out before hand, but 8oz. cream cheese does not really make enough frosting for a cake or anything large. I used this recipe on the Frosted Banana Bars from this site and had to scramble to make a second batch to cover all of the bars. I also felt that it was not sweet enough (tasted like something I'd spread on a bagel instead of a cake) so I added some powdered sugar to make it more of a traditional cream cheese frosting.

I really enjoyed it, my husband prefers a traditional cream cheese frosting though. I did add a little extra brown sugar (only had dark brown) and left out the almond extract since my children and husband don't like it.

My roommate was making up a box of carrot cake muffins, and asked me to help her with the frosting. I couldn't find my measuring spoons, so I just eyeballed everything and I can't believe how good it turned out! Our other roommate probably ate half right out of the bowl!

This was surprising. I have made cream cheese frosting for years, and it was only when I ran out of confectioners, did I try this recipe. Makes a really nice frosting with a nice complex flavor you don't get using confectioners sugar. I used it on a fruit cocktail cake recipe I got on this site. Very good!

I don't know what was wrong with this icing, but it did not taste good. I had to add ingredients to try to make it tasty, but my whole family disliked it.

Fantastic cream cheese frosting recipe. Especially if you do not have confectioner's sugar on hand! I made it with the full amount of almond extract and it is good, but you have to like almond extract. You could easily do with out it. There is enough flavor there with the vanilla, ceam cheese, and honey. I put this frosting on the onebowl chocolate cake III on this site (made cupcakes, with hot coffee substituted for the boiling water) It made an intense dark chocolate flavor and so I needed a not so sweet but flavorful frosting. Fantastic together. Thanks!

Awesome. I used extra honey for the sugar and omitted the butter. Everyone loved it! Beware though, the almond flavor is strong.

To me, this just tasted like whipped-up cream cheese, not frosting. That being said, I did omit the honey, though I cannot imagine that would have helped much. It did add something to my cake, a cinnamon-swirl sheet cake, but I only had enough to frost half of it...maybe a good thing?
