I didn't have any cream and without it the frosting was difficult to spread. I was frosting pumpkin cupcakes so I added 2 tblsp (after doubling recipe) of eggnog flavored coffee creamer instead and a small sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice. The frosting was so good and it added a great flavor to the cupcakes without being overly sweet.

Seriously this is the best cream cheese frosting. I don't like the taste of butter in my frosting and have been looking for something light and sweet. This is it!! Very easy to make. Although I am not sure if you could pipe with this.

This was good, needed a 1/2 tsp of vanilla in it, and 1/2 more confectioners sugard. But other then that a good basic recipe.

This was good. I doubled it and used enough icing sugar to bring it together. I used room temp cream cheese and it was a little runny so I put it in a piping bag and put it in the freezer for a few minutes. Oh, I omitted the cream.

Excellent! Used this on Buttermilk Pound Cake II from this site and it was perfect! I added 1 tsp vanilla extract and used light cream and cream cheese. Made the perfect amount of frosting for the bundt cake, but would definitely cut out the cream if I was using this on cupcakes or to actually frost the sides of a cake due to the consistency of the frosting. Very yummy and will use again for sure!

This is a fantastic recipe! I modified with some grated orange zest for a hint of citrus & it was perfect with spice cake. If you're using this for cupcakes, I'd suggest not adding the cream - it made it a bit too thin to work on cupcakes - but it tastes GREAT!

This turned out much too soupy and thin...it may work on cinnamon rolls, but I would never make this again for a cake frosting.
