I used part of this "as is" as a filling between layers of a spice cake (Nutmeg Feather Cake, also from this site, and fabulous!) and then added just a little confectioners sugar and milk to the rest to make a thin glaze, which I poured sparingly over the top of the cake. So good!

I didn't like the almond extract in this at all. It was too strong.

I used this recipe for my sister's baby shower. It was a hit! I used a good bit more brown sugar than it called for and i omitted the almond, but it came out great!

Excellent! Although I added some more cinnamon and nutmeg to the mix and a touch more honey. This was perfect on top of pumpkin muffins.

This was very, very good, and easy, too. I'm glad it didn't call for confectioners sugar, and I see myself making this again.

The best Frosting I have ever tasted. I frosted a spice cake with it and it was excellent!

My husband absolutely loves cream cheese frosting, but sometimes finds the taste overpowered by sugar. This recipe had wonderful proportion of cream cheese to sweetness. This is a keeper!

Great complimentary taste to carrot cake. For a 9X13, I doubled the butter, cream cheese, vanilla, omitted the almond and honey ... and increased the brown sugar to 8 Tbls. I also stirred in a cup of drained, crushed pineapple. Very nice flavor! Thanks for the recipe.

This is the best cream cheese frosting I've ever tried! I left out the almond essence as I didn't have any. I also didn't have any honey, but I used real grade 3 maple syrup instead. I also used 1/2 fat cream cheese. As this caused the frosting to be a little thinner than ideal I added a little corn starch until it thickened up nicely. I used this to frost the "Fudge Cake" that I made alongside the "Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting". It was so tangy and sweet with a slight difference to normal Cream Cheese Frosting and the maple definitely added a unique and deliscious flavour. I think this will be great for Cinnamon Buns.

I doubled this recipe to frost the surprise banana cake on this site. After the cake was baked, I spread 1/2 cup dried grated coconut on a cookie sheet and baked it for 5 minutes at 375°F, strirring once or twice. I let the coconut and the cake cool at room temperature, then prepared the frosting, stirring in toasted coconut at the very end, after the honey. It really did add a nice, slightly tangy flavor flavor to the cake. Great recipe!

This was yummy! I didn't use the honey or almond extract, and I increased the brown sugar. I was worried that the brown sugar would feel grainy, so I melted it with the butter. Seemed to work very well. I also added some whipping cream as I was beating it. I find that it makes it a little ricer, and fluffier. All in all, we liked it, and I got good reviews from the dinner party I took it to.

fantastic! I didn't have any honey so I omitted it with no substitute, but it tastes great just the same. I made it with the "Awesome Carrot Muffins," and both are great.

This is a great recipe, and a perfect size for the Carrot Cake XII on this same site. I liked the fact that I didn't have to add powdered sugar, and that it's so easy!

Upon seeing this recipe... I knew I wanted to try it. It seemed simple and the ingredients were already in my kitchen on hand. With further reading of the reviews I was wondering. I already know my families tastes. So, I took down the amount of almond extract just a tad. It was very good!! When I read the review of : "Yuck, I will never try this again!" - I get discouraged. A world and cooking is give and take. Don't just trash it - try it again - Experiment with the ingredients to find the right flavor for your tastebuds. You might just find a winner recipe melting in your mouth. Happy Cooking !!!!! ~MA~
