This is a good recipe - put it on a Carrot Snacking Cake (from a Canadian Living recipe). I used light cream cheese, and found I needed to increase the icing sugar by about 1/4 cup to ensure a spreading consistency.

This frosting is sooooooooo yummy! It's very easy to make and yields enough to frost a two tier cake w/ a bit extra left over. I only used 3 cups of sugar and it was perfect ;)

This is a great frosting for a carrot cake! Sift the powdered sugar before using it to avoid having little lumps in the frosting. I made the recipe as written and then reserved 1/2 cup or so for decorating borders with a piping bag and tip. I added about 1 Tbsp milk to the remaining frosting and mixed it to make it thinner for frosting the cake.

I'll give this four stars because the frosting was really easy to work with...nice and smooth. I did as others suggested though and only used 2 cups of confectioners sugar. Of course, I tend to be averse to super-sweet stuff.

Soooo easy and good. If you really like the taste of cream cheese, you could use a little less sugar. I used a 1/2 butter 1/2 blend stick and the frosting turned out just fine.

Easy to make. Can adjust sweetness to your preference...I used 3 cups sugar instead of 4. Everyone loved it.

This is a great, basic cream cheese frosting. It will complement many varieties of cake including carrot and rhubarb. I used it on Steve and Jesse's Strawberry Cake from this website. Just be sure your ingredients are at room temperature - this makes mixing much easier and you will have a creamier frosting.

This is one of the best cream cheese frosting recipes I've ever made. I don't think we will ever buy the can frosting again. I didn't add all the sugar because we wanted more of the cream cheese flavor. A very simple but delicous.

Perfect!! I used reduce fat cream cheese and maybe a little more than half of a 1 pound box of confex. sugar. Tasted so good, creamy yet not too sweet. Used ontop of red velvet cupcakes. Will make again!

Great! I used this to ice apple banana cupcakes from this site. After reading the other reviews I added the sugar a little at a time and tasted frequently as to get the amount to our liking. Also this recipe does yeild ALOT. I reduced it to 10 servings and I covered 24 cupcakes and still had about half left over.
